I had promised to provide campground reviews for those who are interested (plus it will help us remember each place we stayed, what we liked, etc.). Realized I’m a bit behind on where we have stayed so wanted to update on where we stayed before we got to Navarre (where we still are).
There are not many options around Crestview, FL. Crestview is the county seat of Okaloosa County and is also where we have a domicile set up (see previous posts for more details on this). Eagle’s Nest received high ratings from several sites so we figured we’d stay there.
This is a pretty bare bones campground with a few exceptions. Gravel roads and sites (some were more grass than gravel), completely flat. Heavy rain did cause pooling but everything drained out quickly so no big problems walking around or at our site. Lots of folks appeared to be full time living at this campground but all sites were nice and neat. Cable worked fine and they have really great high speed wifi (which you have to pay $1 per day to use). Very quiet place and even though they were pretty full while we were there, we ran into very few people and never heard anyone.
Good amount of space between sites but not much in the way of trees so no shade. Bathroom and laundry room was very basic and we did not use.
Overall, OK for what we needed but not somewhere we would go if we didn’t have business in Crestview or needed a place to stay on the way to somewhere else.
