For Racoons Creek Recreation Area: Stayed here for 2 nights in August 2016. The clerk at the campground office was rude and lacked customer service. The individual campsites need to be updated but the marina, beach and restaurant were fairly nice. None of the sites have a true waterfront view. The electricity did not work at first site so had to move to a different one. Wifi access was not reliable.

For Racoons Creek Recreation Area: We were there Feb./March 2015. Beautiful base!! The campground is Not DOD friendly.. We were there about 6 weeks and only got moved to partial hook up the last week and half of our stay..the rest of the time we were in dry camp. We were told since we are DOD we had to go to the bottom of the list and there would have to be a mass exodus for us to get hook ups. Even tho they were busy, there were empty camp sights. There were campers that looked as if they had been there for years . I think there could be better management of the campgrounds. The people at the marina go above and beyond to help. Seascapes was a very nice , just hard to figure out their hours.
The web sight says DOD eligible, but it needs to clarify that.
Not sure about going back, it is a really pretty camp and they do offer many activities.

For Racoons Creek Recreation Area: We spent our first winter from Dec. 3 to April 1 ,2015 at the famcamp. We learned how to rotate spots and yes did not enjoy dry camp, however the beauty of the beach,the wonderful people we spent most days with made it all a great place. Office manager Deb could not have done more for us, she was wonderful as were April and Bill.Looking.forward to our next season there! Just hoping the seascape has more to offer.mgv

For Racoons Creek Recreation Area: Nice location. Good laundry room and shower room.
But so many things bring it down. First they need to stop advertising there is WiFi, there isn't.
Next, most of the sites are occupied by homesteaders. The policy is you can stay for 6 months which is kind of ridiculous for a sought after location. Other Florida FamCamps limit stays on FHUs to 2 weeks to 30 days in order to ensure all authorized customers get a shot to use the benefit we all earned.
As a result of homesteading parts of the Famcamp looks like a trailer park from downtown. The drycamp area is atrocious with seeming abandoned RVs and boats littering the field. Several with high weeds growing there.
Bottom line a nice place with potential but it really needs to be better managed.

For Racoons Creek Recreation Area: Stayed here the 14/15 July. Nice place, tent camping does not have pads, which is ok as it allowed me the ability to position my tent where I wanted under the trees. The place is dog friendly if your in a RV but my understanding was no pets for tent campers. service dogs are ok for tent camping. The marina has lots of rental equipment from grills to coolers fishing poles and boats. The place has a clean laundry and bath house. RV pads are very nice. I would stay again but I'd prefer to rent a RV pad to be closer to the water. I didn't ask if that was an option.

For Racoons Creek Recreation Area: Spent a long weekend here in Jan-2014. Had a great time! Spent one night in dry camp before being called to move to a full-hookup site. Clean and HOT showers. Beautiful beach, well maintained facility. Can't wait to come back! Sue from Portland, Maine.
