Top Outdoor Getaways Around Navarre Beach: Everything from Camping to Glamping

Escape to Florida’s Most Relaxing Place—Navarre Beach, where adventure and relaxation seamlessly blend to create the ultimate outdoor experience. Whether you’re looking to hike, cycle, paddle, snorkel, or simply sunbathe with a drink in hand, Navarre Beach offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature while enjoying upscale amenities.

But to truly take your stay to the next level, why not spend time in nature both during the day and at night? Imagine drifting off to sleep in a cozy treehouse, a converted train car cabin, or even under the stars in a glamping tent—all just steps away from some of the most pristine natural landscapes in Florida. Here, we present some of the best overnight accommodations that perfectly blend the great outdoors with the comforts of modern living, ensuring that your Navarre Beach experience is nothing short of extraordinary.

Adventures Unlimited Outdoor Center: From Campsites to Cabins to Cabooses

Adventures Unlimited Outdoor Center, a sprawling resort and recreational complex 15 miles north of Milton, offers an array of close-to-nature lodging. You can book one of the eight rooms in the Schoolhouse Inn. Or choose between one of the 23 secluded cabins, each with its own style.

For example, the Lorax Loft is an intimate tree house, perfect for romantic getaways, featuring a cozy interior with a king-size bed, a champagne soaker tub, and a fireplace. Meanwhile, Katie’s Kaboose, the Louisville Train Car, and the Nashville Train Car are all converted train car cabins with queen-sized beds, bathrooms, and kitchenettes. If you’re bringing your pets along, there are options for you, too, like Granny Peaden’s, a two-bedroom cabin overlooking Wolfe Creek.

Of course, if you’d like to go the camping instead of the glamping route, Adventures Unlimited also offers an array of campsites—for both tents and RVs. Hook-up sites offer 30 amp electricity and water connections, along with a fire ring and a picnic table. Whatever lodging you choose here, you’re just minutes away from a variety of outdoor activities and places to get out on the water.

Coldwater Gardens: Glamping Tents, Treehouses, and Tent Platforms

Eco-conscious Coldwater Gardens, located just north of Adventures Unlimited, has several charming options for overnight stays. The Eco-Design Luxury Cabins, Canopy Cottages, Modern Treehouse, Tiny House, and Cabana are private, comfortable, and unique. Camping choices include: Glamping (tents with beds and amenities), Creekview Platform (on a creek-side bluff surrounded by pine and cypress trees), and Stargazer Platform (in open pine savannah, close to the south sandbar with amazing views).

While visiting, explore the 7 miles of hiking and biking trails and relax or swim at the four sandbar beaches along the creek. Coldwater Gardens also features greenhouses, ponds, chickens, bunnies, and a butterfly garden for guests to enjoy.

Blackwater River State Park: Camp By a Pristine Sand-Bottom River

Blackwater River State Park, 16 miles northeast of Milton, offers 30 campsites surrounded by beautiful longleaf pine, magnolia trees, and Atlantic white cedar. These sites provide a range of options, from fully shaded to sunny spots, suitable for both tents and RVs up to 50 feet in length. Each campsite is equipped with essential amenities, including potable water, electricity, picnic tables, fire rings, and grills. A playground is also available on the Magnolia Loop, making it convenient for families.

Campers can enjoy easy access to the Juniper Lake Trail, ideal for hiking, relaxing on the beach, or fishing. The park also features a restroom with showers, accessible by boardwalk. Additionally, pets are allowed in designated areas for those looking to bring their furry friends along!

To secure a campsite, visitors can make reservations through the Florida State Parks reservations website or call 800-326-3521 (TDD 888-433-0287).

Whether you prefer the simplicity of camping or the luxury of glamping, Navarre Beach has the perfect outdoor getaway for you. So pack your bags, embrace the great outdoors, and experience the best of adventure and relaxation in Florida’s Most Relaxing Place.
