Not a safe campground, no security, large gatherings at sites, lots of coming and going. Trash and ants everywhere. When we made reservation we asked for private, looked good, but then they parked a camper in driveway (not a site) next to us and his door opened to ours and our picnic tables were 3 ft apart (during Covid). They had already moved guy twice. They apparently overbook and then try and find a hole to put you, anything for the dollar. Lots of tenters piled up against fence, no space between them. Someone had sewer problems, said they would have to park at Walmart till they got it fixed. Nasty bathrooms. Kept trying to speak with Management, but she never called us back. Since they had overbooked we told them we would leave if they would give a refund. They said they didn’t give refunds. I wouldn’t stay here again if it was free.

There is nothing relaxing or peaceful about this place. We booked for a month and left early because we were tired of the noise and issues. We stayed at 30+ RV parks all across the US in 2021, and this one is the worst of them all! Aside from the crammed sites, and the extension chords running to makeshift campsites; when we arrived, the who parked us was demanding and disrespectful, and made inaccurate assumptions about my partners driving abilities.
We experienced leaf blowers as 7:30 AM on multiple mornings before the office staff was even present, covering everything in dust and waking us up, along with other campers that we spoke with.
There were dump trucks and bulldozers on a daily basis, for hours on end. The Sprinklers damaged our RV because they were shooting everywhere except the grass. While actively damaging our RV, the staff told us we were being dramatic. The view from our site was scrap wood piles on one side, and gravel piles and a dumpster on the other side; accompanied by the constant tossing and banging of lumber, and machinery. They sprayed pesticides without notifying us. When we let our dog out in the morning, he was in the wet chemicals until we saw the tiny sign in the grass, placed where it could not be seen without walking through the wet chemicals. Out stairs were on the grass with the chemicals because the site was so narrow.
The inexperienced management was not sympathetic to the issues they were causing and threatened to kick us out because we were unhappy. They did not for a single moment stop to ask why we were unhappy. In addition, they were not transparent about fees, so it ended up being about $1,300 for a month of stress, zero privacy, and damaged belongings.
Weird policy, they do not allow for outdoor candles, torches, or smal propane fire pits; which we have been able to use in even the most sever burn bans in the west.

We spent 4 nights at The Hideaway Retreat and we had a blast. It is a little crazy to drive a larger rig in there but they offer a long check in period (12pm-6pm) in which they have staff to help you park, Mark was great. Do yourself a favor and get there during that time as a night park could be confusing. Once parked you’ll love the trees and their canopy. We had a Premium Waterview site and it did not disappoint. To make the most of the view some of the sites can see each other but we found we still had enough privacy to hang out outside; if you like to meet people this place also has a great community area with a fire pit and games. The best thing about HR is the private beach on the beautiful Santa Rosa Sound. It was better than the actual beach! It’s calm and shallow perfect for kids and pets (who can be unleashed on the beach!). The girls in the office are sweet and helpful and Carly was awesome, even remembering my dogs names and asking after them. I’ll definitely return (already trying to plan that trip!!) and stay here again, hopefully getting one of the prime waterfront spots.

Short walk to bay for swimming. Site 7 worked out great for us which put us close enough to laundry, showers, and restrooms, but not so close as to be irritated by their use. Facilities are well maintained. Right beside commons area which has various activities for all ages. The traffic pattern keeps you clear of oncoming headlights at night in our site. Walmart and dollar store are bout a mile or less away in case of restocking needs. The atmosphere was nice and family oriented. We didn’t run into anyone there with attitudes. The staff were always considerate and well mannered. Be sure and read over carefully the booking because there are additional fees for guests, vehicles. If you want to reserve ahead and want a specific site, there is a site locking fee that will keep you from being given an equivalent site pending need.

The Hideaway Retreat is a stunning campsite with old oak and magnolia trees. Note that navigating the trees with a big rig is going to be very challenging and take someone with a good eye and hand! The staff will help but you need to know how to maneuver your rig. We do drive a 41-ft fifth wheel but saw smaller trailers require multiple adjustments in all spots.
The staff will do everything possible to keep you all in one spot but the organization seems messy. We had booked an overflow spot and we’re told no sewage, which was fine. Upon check in, we were also told it’d be limited power, which wasn’t an option for us. So they moved reservations around, charged us the difference, and put us in a regular spot.
The owner is the most confusing person I have ever dealt with. She charged my credit card three times and has refused to agree to what was discussed in her office. She has been extremely rude, very frustrating... and cheating our family on our 4-night stay. I suggest recording your conversations when discussing pricing of your stay...
Some spots have a picnic table, other don’t - ours didn’t. We were opening up to sand and had no space to even put camping chairs. Other spots have little wooden decks and a lot more space than we had.
Good WiFi but you’ll need to use your extender! But we were able to work full time, no problem!
The grounds are beautiful however and the kids had a great time. There is a natural playground they spent hours at. The little beach is not on the Gulf, but still a very nice hangout with warmer waters than the gulf!
On weekends, get to Navarre Beach early!! Easy and quick access by car (about 5 minutes) and beautiful white powder beaches! Overall a wonderful and idyllic little place, but not sure they should be accepting big rigs. Expect to scratch the top and sides...

It has been undergoing a transformation since the ownership changed two years ago, and the owner (Jeanie) is a rock star. Genuine, passionate, and an overall concern to create a great experience (while protecting the trees!). Prior hurricanes and tropical storms have left their mark on the coast here, but it was still a very enjoyable experience. I’m looking forward to coming back.

I had heard a lot about this campsite, so I was excited to check it out for myself. Our site was VERY cozy, and the ladies checking us in helped us back into the spot between beautiful magnolia trees. It would be very difficult to check in after dark without help. The beach barrier is under construction (likely from the last hurricane), but the dog beach is beautiful and Dotty ran around with glee. Neighbors are super friendly, but everyone is close and not a lot of privacy. WiFi is offered, but not great. I had some trouble with my AT&T and Verizon hotspots so I ended up spending a day outside at Ye Olde Brothers Brewery to work and let Dotty hang out in the grass. If you have PTSD: Be careful staying anywhere on this part of the Florida Gulf Coast as the AF does their training nightly from 8-11pm and they are shooting 20mm Canons from the AC130, as well as 20mm guns with both live and inert munitions just 10 miles away. Some of the explosions shook the trailer. It didn't bother Dotty and I much once we knew what the source of the noise was from.
No firepits at the site, instead they prefer you join the communal pit in the center of the park where they provide the fire and you can meet some of your neighbors. It's a very cozy vibe, and we met some really nice campers during our stay.
Would definitely come again!

The trees are the charm of the park and yet a challenge for large rigs. The owner loves her trees and she should. They give the park a natural and comfortable feel. But she will not be trimming the trees to accommodate taller rigs.
We had site 47 on the water. Not the best water view but it was still very nice. Hurricane Sally destroyed quite a bit of the areas beach walls, but the beach walking is still nice. Keep in mind this is the bay, not the pure white sands of Navarro Beach. Which is just a 10 minute drive across the causeway. Worth the short trip!
There is a very nice gathering area with a fire pit, benches and chairs, corn hole and a few other games and a lit with string lights. Only negative is a bit busy the state highway is busy until 10 pm.

I just had to write to introduce myself, l'm Jeanie, the new very proud owner of this rare little gem, The Hideaway Retreat. I bought it just over 3.5 months ago when it was formally the Magnolia Beach Campground and am transforming it! We are polishing her up and turning her into the beautiful diamond she is. I first fell in LOVE with the beautiful mature Oak and Magnolia trees throughout the property offering loads of shade for our campers. I'm a huge tree huger so I was not about to cut a single tree down in order to fit another site. I wanted to maintain the boutique feel of our campground with only 50 RV sites and 10 tent sites. I was also drawn to our incredible waterfront views, with 371 ft on the Sound, simply put, it's tranquil and breathtaking! It was important to me to maintain the natural beauty of the property and the cool vintage layout style of the sites, it's not a parking lot style campground, but one where the sites are placed sporadically throughout, like camping used to be. It does not have a commercial feel to it but a very natural one with white gravel roads and sites offering an Old Florida style look and feel. Our trees muffle any noise too so it's very quiet and peaceful. We are constantly hearing from our happy guests who say just how much they appreciate this about our little camp. I want to personally thank you for your interest in our little piece of heaven. I hope to meet you soon and have you become a part of our Hideaway family. I think you'll love our friendly and welcoming nature. Your pets will love us too as we are the only local campground that allows your fur babies on our private beach! After all, they're family too, right? So, I say we get back to the basics, back to nature, living fully present in the moment, and interacting with one another the old fashioned way, in person. Happy Camping. : )
