Stay & Paddle Free | Lakeside Glamping Retreat

Escape to a peaceful glamping retreat at Dead Lakes RV Park in Wewahitchka, Florida, surrounded by towering cypress trees and abundant wildlife. This spacious tent comfortably sleeps families or small groups with a queen bed and twin bunk beds, offering a perfect balance of nature and comfort.

Inside, you’ll find the essentials for a relaxed glamping stay, including a portable AC unit designed to help reduce the heat and improve comfort (or a heater depending on the season), high-speed Starlink WiFi, a coffee machine, and essentials for light meal preparation.

Step outside and immerse yourself in a true outdoor experience with direct access to the Dead Lakes and Apalachicola River, ideal for fishing, kayaking, and boating.

Stay & Paddle Free: One complimentary kayak is available per booking, subject to availability and weather conditions. Guests also enjoy two on-site fishing ponds, a nature trail, boat ramps, and fishing piers.

The park is designed for everyone, with family-friendly amenities like a playground and pet-friendly features including a fenced dog park. Shared restrooms and hot showers are available on-site, similar to what you would find at a well-maintained state or county park. Laundry facilities and an on-site camp store ensure a comfortable and convenient stay.

Although you’ll feel tucked away in nature, the Gulf Coast beaches of Mexico Beach and Port St. Joe are just a short drive away, perfect for day trips. Whether you’re here for adventure or relaxation, this is your base for an unforgettable Florida escape.

Summer Heat Advisory
During the summer months, temperatures and heat indexes in the area can exceed 100°F (38°C), and Heat Advisories may be issued. If you're traveling with young children, older adults, are pregnant, or have heat-sensitive medical conditions, we encourage you to consider the forecast before your stay. The tent can become quite warm during peak afternoon heat, and the AC is intended to reduce the heat and improve comfort rather than cool the tent like a traditional home or hotel.

Embrace Nature
As this is an outdoor glamping experience, you may occasionally encounter insects or wildlife despite our regular cleaning and preventative measures. This experience is best suited for guests who enjoy outdoor-style accommodations and a more natural, campground setting.

Stay & Paddle Free | Lakeside Glamping Retreat offers its guests barbecue grills. The front desk is open around the clock.
