For Racoons Creek Recreation Area: The person that checked us in was helpful and pleasent. He let us drive around the campground first to select our site. Plenty of sites to chose from since it is only about 15% occupied. However, that's to be expected in early Sep. The campground is being upgraded. They are replacing most concrete pads. Half of the campground utility hookups are upgraded. Wifi on our site was strong. We were two rows over from the laundry facility. A large shower area was also located within the laundry bldg. The showers could have been a little cleaner. The restrooms were ok. A marina is next door to the campground. The little marina store seems to be a bit pricy ( but aren't they all that way). A beach and bar/restaurant is also located next to the campground. There is a very large RV / boat storage area behind the campground. My guess is by the number of units stored there this campground will be tough to get into during the peak season. Is it perfect...no. But it is a darn good value and it will serve your purpose.

For Racoons Creek Recreation Area: Have not been here in years. Very large park. Short walk to a nice beach and club right on the water. Pretty cool.
Even though only staying one night, had to provide registration, insurance, shot records for dogs.
Clerk taking the money seemed to be very unhappy to be working there.
If you can get past the customer service, it is a nice park, right on the bay. Flat concrete pads, full hookups including cable. A bit buggy but it is June in Tampa.
We are planning to go back.

For Racoons Creek Recreation Area: Why on an immaculate Air Force base like McDill do they allow an Rv park to look like a refuge camp? Some RVs haven't moved in years, some are derelict, hanging laundry, RV washing and maintenance at pad site. On the plus side, commissary is huge, base is immaculate, other recreation facilities are five star.

For Racoons Creek Recreation Area: It would seem that a military campground on Tampa Bay would be perfect, not so. Most sites have a long walk to the water. Wifi for us was non existent. Phone reception was just as bad. Won't go back again.
