tent camping
Answer
RV camping or tent camping? There are many beautiful locations for both.
If you add additional information, I'd be happy to help you out.
**************
Here are my suggestions:
State Parks tend to be the best. You can find a complete list of all Florida State Parks that have campsites (of all kinds - RV, tent, primitive -- my personal favorite, etc) To see the complete list go to: http://www.floridastateparks.org/CampCabinLodge.cfm
I would highly recommend:

-or- http://www.floridastateparks.org/longkey/default.cfm
-or- http://www.floridastateparks.org/pennekamp/default.cfm
Privately owned campsites (in my opinion, generally not as nice) in the area include:
http://www.co.palm-beach.fl.us/parks/camping/johnprincepark/

Miami Everglades Campground @ 305-233-5300
Enjoy your camping trip!! Don't forget to pack your sun lotion and sun glasses!

Does anyone know of tent camping places near NW Florida?

I would like to go camping this spring, but instead of a lodge or cabin, use a tent. I live near Pensacola, FL and don't really want to travel more than 300 miles. Thanks!
Answer
Many of Florida's state parks in the panhandle are geared more towards tent camping than big RV's. I expecially liked Blackwater River State Park when I was up there. There's a fantastic canoe livery just outside the park. The trip down the Blackwater River is also fantastic.
Reservations are made through Reserve America, a branch of Ticketmaster. So many sites are held back for drive up accomadations, about 10%, all others must be made through Reserve America.

At the above site you can look at various Florida state parks, even scout the campgrounds for a site you might like.
Another state park I like, near you, is the Suwannee River State Park, near Live Oak. You mat drive over to the Spirit of the Suwannee RV Park to catch a canoe ride down the Suwannee River.
Florida Caverns and Falling Waters State Parks are also nice for tent camping. As you look through the park system on Reserve America's web site, I feel you'll agree that there are many state parks with-in your 300 mile range.
Good luck & happy camping
