Why do you say site 13 is one of the best? Just booked it and am wondering if I got a good site. We love the water sites there. Have stayed on 21 and 22 before but never 13. Thanks
Hi Kristen,
Our photographer choose the ‘best/favorite’ campsites at Bahia Honda State Park based on location, size and privacy. Bahia Honda State Park (Buttonwood Camping Area) campsite #13 is fairly large, flat, has some nice privacy and is located next to the water. Hope you have a great time!
What’s so special about site 76? I’m interested to l know because I booked it.
Hi Rosa,
I believe our photographer liked Bahia Honda State Park campsite #76 because it was private and flat. Also a decent location within the campground. Have a great time!
Thank you so much!!!! I was going to cancel due to no electric but thanks for this!!! I can’t wait!!!
Hi, I’m staying at site 75 on the Bayside and I didn’t see a grill in the photo. Is there a grill to cook on and are campfires allowed on that site?
Thanks,
Hi Bill,
Yes, campsite #75 has a BBQ pedestal with a grill. Not sure if they are currently allowed campfires in the campsites, but you can have a fire in the “designated areas” at Bahia Honda State Park.
Bahia Honda changed their reservation website last year. Did you all update it?
Hi Rosa,
Yes we did. We updated all of the Florida State Parks to the new reservation system as soon as it was launched last year. And our Campsite Assist service also monitors for availability at all of the Florida State Parks.
I have just reserved Unit: Bahia Honda State Park – Loop BAYS – Tent Only – 074
Stay: Sun 05/15/22 – Mon 05/16/22 (1 night)…….. I looked at the campground map and can not find where 074 is located. Can you help me?
Ivan
Hi Ivan,
I just updated a better campground map. Although it does not give exact campsite locations, it does give you a general idea of where campsite #74 is located.
I am staying at site 15 pretty soon, anyone know if the water and electrical hookups are far from where I would park my camper? i.e do i need more length than what other state parks normally need.
Hi, are the Bahia Honda campsites dog friendly?
Hi Sarah,
Pets are allowed in camping areas at Bahia Honda State Park, but not on beaches, on tour or rental boats, or in any buildings and may be restricted to other designated areas. All pets must be kept on a six-foot, hand-held leash and be well-behaved at all times.
Hi, from the current photos I’ve seen, it looks like you can no longer walk straight to the water from your camp site on Sandspur. Is that true? If so, how far of a walk is it from site 72 to the ocean?
Hi Mike,
I think campsite #72 is about 60-70 feet from the water’s edge.
Is the bayside more prompt for mosquitos? Is that why the RV side is the ocean side? The tent locations, bayside 70 to 78, could be flooded, and you do not allow full refund cancellations in case of a predicted storm. Why?
Hi Raul,
We’re not sure why Bahia Honda State Park set up their campground/campsites the way they did. We’re not associated with the parks/campgrounds listed on our website. We provide the photos of each campsite, availability alerts, RV Rentals (through our affiliate) and other info. I recommend calling the park directly regarding your questions: 305 872-2353
Hi we have booked site 77 on Bayside loop. Do you know if this site can fit 2 tents and 2 small sedan cars ? Thank you
Hi JK,
Congrats on booking at Bahia Honda State Park campsite (#77)! The site allows for up to 2 vehicles and 8 people. There is room to fit two small sedan cars and 2 small-medium sized tents. Have fun!
2 tents should fit fine as long as they are not massive.
The cars can usually park in the street area as it is extra wide in this area of the campground. Purchase a portable firepit if you want to have a campfire as they do not allow ground fires.
I spent a year after booking Bayside site 75 researching the rules and things to do. It was a beautiful campsite. However, the bayside campsite is a non-electric site, which was known prior to booking. The problem is that no where is it stated, that I could find, that generators are not allowed at all. I was camping with dogs and was heavily relying on having an AC to give them a retreat from the June heat. I cancelled and didn’t even stay the night. I think this site would be great with a more primitive camping setup than I was prepared for. One camper had a boat docked up in the lagoon right across from their site, which looked like a blast! Even though they are allowed, I wouldn’t bring a pet.
Hi Kesley,
Thanks for the review and sorry that Bahia Honda State Park didn’t allow generators (and didn’t indicate it on their website). We definitely have made a note of it.
Photos of campsites 49 – 72 are out of date. These sites were destroyed by a hurricane & Sandspur had to be rebuilt. I am not trying to be a party pooper, just hate to see people reserve & then find something different. Sandspur is my favorite spot at Bahia Honda, I liked the old sites better .
Thanks again Michael for the update. We are planning to reshoot Bahia Honda State Park (and others in Florida) this fall.
