very nice but it was raining that day.
Great place but hard for a senior but young at heart Pinellas paying tax payer to get a campsite. Need a full time ranger to Man camp office.
The most beautiful park ,if you like beach camping in Florida.It is really hard get two weeks in succession.But if you can ,you will not be sorry.
Is park DOG friendly with tent camping? How to make a reserve spot
Yes, you can have dogs in the campground (on leash), and you can also take them down to the beach where there is an off-leash area.
It is a beautiful park. Lots of beautiful trees, shades, and very spacious. The campground area is very large, the sites are huge and very comfortable. But I noticed that the park is a bit neglected in landscaping maintenance. The super tall grass seems to have not been cut for a long time, many holes in the road, millions of mosquitoes. Really a nice place, but run down. The price per day a bit expensive for the low maintenance.
Can you tell me what weekend availability there is I was trying to look on the site but everything is booked.
Hi Carrie,
CampsitePhotos.com doesn’t process the reservations. We provide the photos of each site, campsite availability alerts and links to the official reservation website (Pinellas County). You can click on the ‘Make A Reservation’ button to check availability, pricing and make a reservation.
Do you have any pull thru sites I have 38′ Class A and I tow a car on a tow dolly 58′ overall
Hi Anthony,
Yes, Fort De Soto Park has pull-through campsites. Most are quite large and should fit your Class A and tow car. You can click on the ‘Campground Map’ button to see which sites are pull-through. Also click on the ‘Make A Reservation’ button to check availability, campsite size, pricing and make a reservation.
