Live Oak Landing Campground

The Great Outdoors

Camping in Freeport puts you within a stone's throw of the Choctawhatchee River System where anglers, kayakers, and wildlife watchers flock to its more than 25 miles of waterway. Here freshwater and saltwater mix, yielding abundant catfish (some of the biggest in the state), bluegill, and bream, to name a few. Along the banks can also be found a variety of raptors and songbirds, reptiles and small mammals like white-tailed deer and raccoons. If you like to calmly glide along the river's tributaries, book an RV in Walton County, and you’ll have more than your fair share of flora like willow, laurel oaks, and Florida maples that adorn the waterways.Like to enjoy beaches, birding, and hiking all in one go? Then take your RV rental near Live Oak Landing RV Resort and discover the Topsail Hill Preserve State Park. Boasting a three-mile-long secluded and undeveloped beach, you're welcome to bury your toes in the soft, white sand. Or head inland and launch a canoe or kayak out on the Campbell Lake, explore more than ten miles of hiking trails, or take to the boardwalk to survey the park’s sand dunes. You may also want to join a guided bird walk to catch sight of shorebirds and birds of prey.For a closer encounter of diverse coastal ecosystems, let Point Washington State Forest’s 25-mile trail system take you through wet prairie, coastal scrub, or longleaf pine flatwoods. Hikers share some of the trails to off-road cyclists on a three-mile, five-mile, or ten-mile loop while horseback riders have a designated trail on Bay Drive. If you’re willing to get your campervan rental dusty in exchange for clean boots, keep to the main corridors for a casual drive through the forest.
