Do any of the Florida beaches allow camping?

Ft. Pickens on Pensacola Beach!

Where can you camp on Pensacola Beach?

...and I add Johnson Beach in Perdido Key if you don't mind primitive camping(the only choice for me!).

Henderson Park in Destin

St. Andrews Park in Panama City Beach

Well what I was trying to say is if you do not have a tent technically you are not camping. They don't say a word to you. I have done it several times. Get a blanket kick back. The bugs will get bad though!

I wasn't talking about actual camp sites that you pay for. Just cop a squat!

Are you just wanting to camp anywhere, or looking for good campgrounds? The state parks seem to have nice campgrounds & are affordable.

I've camped in the parks at Cape San Blas & St Andrews parks. St Andrews was just last weekend, cost was about $26 per night for a site with both water & power.

Reservations are handled online through:

At Cape San Blas, you can camp primitive out on the peninsula. 15 miles of beaches with no motorized access, so you have to either backpack it all in or have access to a boat. But if you're so minded, you can get a good ways away from it all.

I have wanted to do that for years but never found a bunk mate that was willing to be that remote.

As I understand it you are let off and "What you bring you Got, What you didn't you Don't. Including Water.

Have you stayed there?

Peanut Island in Palm Beach County has camping right on the water, but there can be a lot of boat traffic on the weekends. It's right in the middle of the Lake Worth Inlet and Port of Palm Beach, but you still get the clear ocean water and it's ok for snorkeling, also the Blue Heron Bridge is right there and it is a nice shore dive.

Been to Peanut Island, done it, kinda like a KOA with no trailers.
Assigned tent spots, charcoal grills, and a community campfire area.
Not bad. Took the kayaks there one weekend as it is very local.
The Blue Heron bridge dive sites are right next door to the north.

Long Key State Park down in the keys has nice campsites right next to the beach.
You might be able to pitch a very small tent on the thin strip of sand if you dared.
