Common questions

How do I reserve a campground in Florida?

It depends on who runs it. Of the 56 public campgrounds on record here, 33 book through Recreation.gov and 17 are first-come, first-served with no reservations.

Where can I camp for free in Florida?

6 public campgrounds in Florida charge no fee: Cobb Hunt Camp, East Tower, Porter Hunt Camp & Trailhead, Seventeen Mile, and 2 more. Free camping away from campgrounds (dispersed camping) is a land-management rule, not a campground; see the managing agency.

Is boondocking legal in Florida?

On BLM land, dispersed camping (boondocking) is generally allowed under the agency's rules. BLM limits dispersed camping to 14 days within any 28-day period (stay limits vary by field office), asks campers to stay at least 200 feet from lakes and streams, and says most areas need no permit or reservation (blm.gov, read 2026-09-26).

What are the best campgrounds in Florida?

This site doesn't rate campgrounds. The most fully documented here are Ocean Pond Campground (19 sourced facts), Fort Pickens Campground (17 sourced facts), and Salt Springs (17 sourced facts); the table lets you sort every campground by agency, booking, season, and fee.
