Someone posted above, "“Boring. Ugly scenery.” Not worth the fee to enter. Go instead to Johnson Beach National Park just over the bridge." Not a very honest review of a campground. Sure, it's probably not worth the entry fee, but it's a campground. It costs $20/night to sleep there. You have electricity, running water, sewerage, and a pretty nice bathhouse.... More

We just finished our week long camping trip to Florida. We stayed at Big Lagoon State Park. Overall, it was a nice relaxing trip. I guess it all depends on what you are looking for when you go. The park is nice. Expect for a few, most of the campsites aren't very big. We have a 32' travel trailer and... More

Big Lagoon State Park is a very nice campground with clean restrooms. Each site is surrounded by natural vegetation and you can hear many types of birds. The boardwalk trails are nice to walk or ride your bikes on. There is no real beach, however, the National Gulf seashore in Perdido Key is just a 5 minute drive over the... More

Being able to see Florida in what we believe was its "original, God made" state was wonderful. We went to the observation tower, a couple of trails. It was beautiful. We were sadden to see what we believe was remnants of the BP oil spill and had to wonder if the lack of birds was due to this. None the... More

Went camping with my husband and two very young children, ages six and three. We had a great time. The campground has a playground and walking trails to the beach areas. The camp sites offer privacy from the next camper over, which was not the case for Ft. Pickens campground and is why we ultimately decided on Big Lagoon. We... More

I had heard a lot about Perdido Key - decided to see the Big Lagoon State Park - was really let down - scrubby looking - just a place for campers and they would need to be "rough" campers. More
