This park is a must on your tours trough out Florida. Wonderful beaches, picknick areas and much more. Go there and enjoy it

Period. What a delight this place is - a real place to get away from it all. I cherish the times I'm able to take 4 hours out of a day and og there and walk the beach and chill out. A true gem.

It is a nice all around park with Dog Park and Beach, long walking trail, plenty of bathrooms and tables w grills. Recently instituted a $5 "Parking Fee" which is terrible but doesn't stop us from going. We do no care for the coarse sand beaches certainly not like St Pete Beach sand.

This is an awesome park. You can tour the old fort. Kids will love the jail:) Nice restrooms along the water. Spend a day at the water. Beach areas are nice. Also have picnic tables. Definitely worth spending time here. Lots of bike paths. Also campground though we did not stay there.

We spent the night in Pass-A-Grille (wonderful!) and went to Fort De Soto Park to basically drive through, see the sights, and take a long walk at North Beach.

Sadly Fort De Soto Park now has a $5 cover charge and it just wasn't worth it for quick drive around to visit some old favorite places. So we turned around and went back up the toll road disappointed.

Loved this campground and State Park! Secluded campsites, amazing beaches, NO bugs in April, phenomenal facilities, kid and family friendly. The dog beach is so sweet and fun and the dog park is great too. It's a long bike ride to North Beach and our kid is eight, so we just drove. It's a fabulous beach and we got to... More
