For Racoons Creek Recreation Area: Nice location. Good laundry room and shower room.
But so many things bring it down. First they need to stop advertising there is WiFi, there isn't.
Next, most of the sites are occupied by homesteaders. The policy is you can stay for 6 months which is kind of ridiculous for a sought after location. Other Florida FamCamps limit stays on FHUs to 2 weeks to 30 days in order to ensure all authorized customers get a shot to use the benefit we all earned.
As a result of homesteading parts of the Famcamp looks like a trailer park from downtown. The drycamp area is atrocious with seeming abandoned RVs and boats littering the field. Several with high weeds growing there.
Bottom line a nice place with potential but it really needs to be better managed.

For Racoons Creek Recreation Area: Jan 8th we stayed here for 3 nights. $15/day. We could park anywhere in the overflow field. Theread is a beach, activities, restaurant near the camp ground. The base had everything you need. Great walking/running path with great view of the bay. Will go back. Oh, the 2nd day we were offered full hooh up.

For Racoons Creek Recreation Area: Stayed here the 14/15 July. Nice place, tent camping does not have pads, which is ok as it allowed me the ability to position my tent where I wanted under the trees. The place is dog friendly if your in a RV but my understanding was no pets for tent campers. service dogs are ok for tent camping. The marina has lots of rental equipment from grills to coolers fishing poles and boats. The place has a clean laundry and bath house. RV pads are very nice. I would stay again but I'd prefer to rent a RV pad to be closer to the water. I didn't ask if that was an option.

For Racoons Creek Recreation Area: Spent a long weekend here in Jan-2014. Had a great time! Spent one night in dry camp before being called to move to a full-hookup site. Clean and HOT showers. Beautiful beach, well maintained facility. Can't wait to come back! Sue from Portland, Maine.

For Racoons Creek Recreation Area: The person that checked us in was helpful and pleasent. He let us drive around the campground first to select our site. Plenty of sites to chose from since it is only about 15% occupied. However, that's to be expected in early Sep. The campground is being upgraded. They are replacing most concrete pads. Half of the campground utility hookups are upgraded. Wifi on our site was strong. We were two rows over from the laundry facility. A large shower area was also located within the laundry bldg. The showers could have been a little cleaner. The restrooms were ok. A marina is next door to the campground. The little marina store seems to be a bit pricy ( but aren't they all that way). A beach and bar/restaurant is also located next to the campground. There is a very large RV / boat storage area behind the campground. My guess is by the number of units stored there this campground will be tough to get into during the peak season. Is it perfect...no. But it is a darn good value and it will serve your purpose.

For Racoons Creek Recreation Area: Have not been here in years. Very large park. Short walk to a nice beach and club right on the water. Pretty cool.
Even though only staying one night, had to provide registration, insurance, shot records for dogs.
Clerk taking the money seemed to be very unhappy to be working there.
If you can get past the customer service, it is a nice park, right on the bay. Flat concrete pads, full hookups including cable. A bit buggy but it is June in Tampa.
We are planning to go back.

For Racoons Creek Recreation Area: Why on an immaculate Air Force base like McDill do they allow an Rv park to look like a refuge camp? Some RVs haven't moved in years, some are derelict, hanging laundry, RV washing and maintenance at pad site. On the plus side, commissary is huge, base is immaculate, other recreation facilities are five star.
