Excellent RV campground location directly across the road from powdery white sand beach. Sites are large gravel. Hookups all in good working order. Professional, friendly staff. We'll be back

It was my first time on an RV trip. I was glad to know that there was a bathhouse on site and that most importantly it was clean, and it was! Everything was well maintained, beach was within walking distance and everything was lovely.

It was nice that the park was walking distance to the best beach in the south!!!! The staff was very friendly!! But the campsites are too close to and our campsite 34 was a bit hard to back into... The campsite had big rocks that made it hard to walk on, .. The showers ,bathrooms and laundry is well kept, very clean. Looking forward to the queen to open back up... not leaving a nasty review, just posting my opinion.. May God continue to bless

We were happy to find an RV park near the beach. This one is just across a 2-lane street to a beautiful, but very short beach which we enjoyed, but may be very crowded once the hotel is back up and running. The good: Friendly staff, clean restrooms and a nice large air-conditioned laundry room. A large fire-pit to gather around, furnished with fire-wood. A large covered pavilion with grills and picnic tables. Full hook-ups at each site. The bad: The parking spaces and roads inside the park consist of very large rocks and sand. The rock is loose and difficult to walk on, even within the sites. We don’t generally mind gravel lots, but this is not compacted gravel. Shoes are required at all times, even the dogs struggled to walk on it. We would love to see the sites be groomed and compacted with something more comfortable under foot. Make sure to bring blocks for under leveling pads for stabilization. Each site has a picnic table, but no concrete pad. No landscaping to speak of, but the park is recovering from a hurricane, so maybe that will come later. Dog-friendly, but I would not say child-friendly. No pools, play-grounds, or game rooms. Location and Services: Mango Marley’s, sports bar atmosphere, is open and walkable. There is also an Ace Hardware and Dollar General a few blocks away, and a small local grocery and liquor store. If you tow your RV or bring a toad, Port St Joe is nearby for more restaurants and groceries. Overall, we enjoyed the location, but hope they will improve the parking and out-door living spaces.

I can not say. You would need to call them. The rates when we went were lowest. Room was clean and neat. It was good enough we stayed longer . Close to the water. One thing it's hard to find a good place to eat. One place is a restaurant north side close to the fish or crab shack. Good luck.
