We have created the campground page to assist you in deciding whether you would like to stay at a given campground. We currently have a 40' Diesel Motorhome with three slides; prior to 2007 we had a 35' Gas Motorhome with one slide. We do not rate campground bathroom facilities as we seldom use them; we prefer the convenience of our own restroom. We use the various campground links on the left side of this page in determining where to stay.

Happy Camping!

Fort DeSoto State Park - Tierra Verde, FL


Location: Tierra Verde - Fort DeSoto State Park (Pinellas County Park)
Site#: 130
Type of hookups: Electric and Water hookup - 30 AMP.
Big Rig Friendly: Yes, the sites in the non-pet section were larger and did not have as many low tree branches as the pet section
Wi-Fi: No
Cable: No
Pros: Beautiful State Park, wonder beach, nice place to walk and bike.
Cons: Lots of low tree branches and curvy road; and some low tree branches at some campsites; however they were working on cleaning this up while we were there (Jan 2007).

Cost: 28.50 (Jan 2007)
Rating: 6.75 (would have been higher, except it was so difficult for us (with a big-rig) to get to our site with the low tree branches, curvy road, and narrow site. It is a very beatiful park).
Notes: The website will display photos for each site, which is very helpful. Make sure you take your time getting to your campsite as the road is very twisty; and their are many low tree branches.
