For Racoons Creek Recreation Area: Quiet, safe, friendly. Lots of things to do in the area (Busch Gardens for one🙂) plus a great military base with some great amenities (beach, boat rentals for two🙂🙂). Sites are shaded and decent. Bath house was spotless!! Highly recommend.

For Racoons Creek Recreation Area: Great post and amenities. The camp sites need work. I stayed two night in dry camping area. It would help if the sites were mark rather than driving around to look for a space. My second night I was wakened up at 2330hrs by the camp host telling me I had to turn my generator off during quiet hours. I checked the rules and they only allow generators to run if the temperature is below 45 degrees. The first night it was below 45 degrees. It’s basically impossible for a all electric Class A batteries to make it through the night even with just the refrigerator running. Shame on me for not reading the rules, shame on management for not saying something at check in since he saw my coach. We decided to leave at midnight. First time I’ve dry camped and could use the generator.

For Racoons Creek Recreation Area: They take limited reservations one year out and expect lots of snowbirds. All the reserved spots were full. The rest of the spaces are first come, first served. Don’t expect to get full hook-ups. We were in partial for a couple of days and had to negotiate to get full hook- ups. We were told that the rules were such that we would be required to go to dry camp after two weeks, then partial hook-ups for 2 weeks before being allowed to go back to full hook-ups again. We elected to leave after 2 weeks. MacDill is a beautiful base with a well-stocked commissary and Exchange. The campground is a 10 minute drive from the commissary and front gate. There is no diesel fuel for sale on the base. Expect to hear reveille at 6:00 am, a siren at noon, colors at 5:00 pm and taps at 10:00 pm. Also expect to hear gunfire from the nearby range. And bring mosquito repellent.

For Racoons Creek Recreation Area: Great beach, laundry and sunsets. Quiet, except revillie at 0530 :).
Sites a bit tight, but not unbearable at all.
Anyone entering via BayShore Drive or MacDill Road will encounter very low hanging branches. Take main gate and even though the far right lane seems closed, it’s definitely where you are required to enter.

For Racoons Creek Recreation Area: Great location. Staff was very helpful and nice.. it's a shame they dont have a nicer building to work in. Looks like a construction site. Out the way. Not a lot of aircraft noise. But..Needs to be updated a little.. not going to list things like I'm a mad rver.. but it could use a touch up. And them masqito... woah!!!.. could not set up camp fast enough... might have to cut my time short here..
