In the Pensacola Area there is Fort Pickens State Park Campground. It is on the end of Santa Rosa Island across from the Blue Angels naval base and away from all of the city lights and noises. There are osprey nests in the trees, armadillos that may wander through camp, and an old fort at the end of the island that is worth a 15-20 minute walk around.

It is a little ways off of I-10 but worth the trip. The A-Loop is a bit more private with a worn down bath house which was doable. I drove around to the B-E loops with the new bath houses and everyone is stacked on top of each other. It is $26/night with electric and water and easy access to the beach if that is your thing.

/we were there last June and fans were a must since it was Florida in the summer

KOA has a map of all the locations on their website. Also you can hobo camp, find a spot off the road away from view and set up camp. Koa's are nice for showering and a real bathroom.

I may be mistaken, but I looked at KOA in the past and thought for their prices I could find a hotel/motel room for not much more.

That is why I use Forest Service campgrounds. And with an old farts card most give you 50% off of the fee.
