Answer
Camping seems to be extremely popular in the Florida Keys. It sounds like a brink of paradise. Florida Keys also offers various types of camping, ranging from private campsites to RV parks. Camping fees also vary, depending on camping types, on-site amenities and the time of the year (off-season or peak-season).
To find cheap camping, the best option is to choose one of the state park campgrounds. Compared with private campgrounds, like Key Largo Kampground & Marina or Boydâs Key West Campground, campground fees for the state park system are much lower. Several state park campgrounds in Florida Keys are listed as follows:
John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park
102601 Overseas Hwy, Key Largo, FL 33037
Itâs one the best campgrounds in Florida Keys. The park is ideal for boat camping, group camping, youth camping and RV camping. To find more info on camping fees, please visit online or call 800-326-3521.

Long Key State Park (Mile Marker 67.5, Overseas Highway, FL)
Bahia Honda State Park (36850 Overseas Hwy, Bahia Honda Key Big Pine Key, FL)
Now, the summer months are not peak-season. I suppose you can get some great deals for camping in these state parks.
If youâre planning tent camping, I know that Everglades National Park is free for tent campers during summer months. If youâre not bothered by the mosquitoes, you can have a free campsite in the park. To learn more park info, the following website can help you a lot.

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
