4.0 of 5 stars. Paco took a doggie day trip recently and the dog park at Ft. DeSoto was a must go. He'd been here twice before, but was not ready for all the action. Now, with some canoodling under his harness, he...

Yelp.com Review - by Carlos H.

5.0 of 5 stars. Fort De Soto is a pretty great place to go for a nice mixture of a day at the beach and a little bit of park fun as well. The water looks great and the sand is pretty good quality, though a little...

Yelp.com Review - by Vincent W.

5.0 of 5 stars. Really great place to just hang out and relax. Been here a few times, some for business functions so we barbecued at one of shelter type places they have. Each one is pretty spacious, I know we had...

4.0 of 5 stars. We actually were able to reserve a camping spot here the day before Memorial day, which I thought was awesome. The camp grounds were clean, and their facilities were in fair condition. Everything that...

Yelp.com Review - by Sally L.

4.0 of 5 stars. It is pretty astounding that it's a county park, because it really does have the feel of a national park. I've been to the northern beach twice now, & have yet to check out the old fort or take the...

Yelp.com Review - by Meredith M.

4.0 of 5 stars. While Dr. Beach may have rated Fort de Soto as America's # 1 beach I have to disagree. While it is beautiful it's not paradise. The sand is a bit too sharp for me, I prefer really soft sand. But the...

Yelp.com Review - by Lindsay H.

4.0 of 5 stars. Fort Desoto was always placed on a list of best beaches in the state of FL. It is beautiful, but I guess I saw it so many times growing up it didn't really stand out to me.There's a neat fort you can...

Yelp.com Review - by Jaye V.

5.0 of 5 stars. Beautiful park -- I can't believe it's owned by the *county* because it has the facilities of maybe even a national park! Even the park ranger at the visitor's center was extremely helpful and...

Yelp.com Review - by Liz P.

5.0 of 5 stars. What can I say? Sunrise at the beach on Memorial Day weekend and nary a soul in sight. We took the dog to the dog friendly portion of the beach. While he frolicked in the surf and ran around we...

right on the Gulf

This is a great campground. You can camp right on the Gulf or on the bay, or you can camp in a more wooded site. There are sites you can bring your dog; there is even a fenced-in dog park. Plus the history of...

Yelp.com Review - by DiDi V.

4.0 of 5 stars. My favorite beach in Florida. Huge, undercrowded treasure of a beach. Lots of grills around to have a BBQ, so bring brats, beers and some charcoal. Beware of the raccoons and other wildlife! This...

Yelp.com Review - by Samantha N.

4.0 of 5 stars. Totally worth the 85 cents in tolls we paid to get there. White sand, clear blue water, plenty of space between us and the next pair of beach chairs ....The remains of the Fort itself are worth...

5.0 of 5 stars. This park is awesome.If you are into boating, the boat ramps in the park are huge (almost 20 individual ramps) with lots of trailer parking. They appear well maintained. There are also a bunch of...

4.0 of 5 stars. I used to go here when I was younger, but I had forgotten how beautiful it is. It is a pretty drive down there and then it is great because you can have events at the covered shelters and then you...
