Fort Desoto Campground Review, January 2019 , balmy 76 degrees and a great beach day. One of the best camping spots in Florida and reasonably priced. Don't forget your portable fire pit or beach cart from Amazon:
lightweight fire pit with folding legs fits into small box, removable pan for easy ash disposal -amzn.to/2sJtkPY
Beach Cart with large wheels - amzn.to/2sQWUDu

Great video my wife and I arrived at Fort Desoto on the 12th for 10 days good time! I don't believe the launch ramp fee is included in the camp fee, as my friends and I have paid several times over the past years while staying there, thanks I'll check it out. Happy camping

You can book ahead of time on the website 6 months in advance. Pinellas County resident can book 30 days earlier, so many times it is full already. Every Friday at 7AM 10% of the heldback sites are released and become available

Found yahs on a DeSoto search. We are Grand Design owners also! We are stopping by there for a few nights in June. Thanks for the review!

Thanks for watching! We were just these last weekend. Arrived on Thursday at 4:30 and someone was in our site. An older couple who said they were to leave the next day. Got him to leave after I showed him my name was on tag on the electric pedestal.

We also thought the boat ramp fee was extra and were paying it for years. The ranger told us campers don’t have to pay it.

Thanks Dean, today I am starting to edit videos from our trip to Alaska where we rented an RV and toured the Kenai Peninsula

Is there a shuttle from the campground to the beaches

@FLWeekendWarriors 4 жыл бұрын

No shuttles from the campground to the beach. They do have a ferry that takes you out to Egmont Key, which is a State Park on an island.

Could I set up a tent right on the beach?

@FLWeekendWarriors 5 жыл бұрын

No, you have to stay in the campground. Adjacent to the campground is an island that you can camp on the beach. You have to get a permit from the ranger and it is only accessible by boat/Kayak. Call the park ranger for details

So you can't book ahead of time before arriving???

You have to book 6 months in advance or you won't get in, you might get in the tent area without booking in advance maybe!

So these are the people reserving campgrounds six months out. The reservations are insane. Can’t reserve for at least half a year out.

Friday’s at 7AM they they release 10% of the campsites online, keep hitting refresh on your computer. I typically always get one, sometimes I get one of the hard to get deep water waterfront sites

Did the raccoons get help to climb out of the bin?? A 2x6 board just for that purpose could be left there.

The park ranger got them out.

is the campground on the ocean?

@FLWeekendWarriors 5 жыл бұрын

The camping area is on the bay with about half the sites are waterfront. Most of the waterfront sites have shallow water behind them and are limited to kayaks and paddle boards. About 20 sites have deep water behind them. The beach is a short car or bike ride and access is free if you are camping. The beach is a huge area and extremely popular.
