Geronimo RV Beach Resort

Nice quiet park close to the beach

We stayed at this park for 10 days because our original plan to stay at nearby Topsail Hill Preserve State Park was derailed by the closure of all Florida State Parks due to Covid-19. Overall, we liked the park. The park is private and quiet (albeit, the park was only a quarter full when we were there), all the hookups, cable (70+ channels) and wifi worked well, and you are just a few blocks from the beautiful white sand beaches and emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The only real downside is the cost and there is not much distance between sites. We paid $83/night and other than laundry and restrooms, there are no amenities. 

This RV park is small with just 34 RV sites(no tents).  Sites are paved as are the patios and roads inside the park and all sites are perfectly level. There are a couple of “buddy sites” which are ideal if you are traveling with friends. There is some shade but some sites (including ours) are full shade. Our site had two Adirondack chairs and an extra-large paved patio, others had picnic tables, and some don’t have anything. There are no fire pits but portable ones are allowed. There is a big field (approximately 50 yards x 50 yards) where dogs are allowed to play off-leash the only problem is the sand spurs in the grass that get stuck in their feet and can be very uncomfortable. Our dog refused to go in the field after getting a few sand spurs caught in her pads. 

The campground is about three blocks from the beach down a fairly busy road with no shoulder so it’s best to walk in the grass. Once near the beach, there is a paved walking/biking path and a bike lane that goes for miles. There are some public parking spots at the beach, but be forewarned they fill up quickly in the busy season, so walking is your best option. You can also rent a golf cart and fit into smaller spots, when available. Within just a couple of miles are restaurants, beach-themed stores, grocery, convenient marts, and gas stations. Pretty much everything you need is within five miles. The Surf Hut restaurant is just a 10 minute walk and has cheap daily food specials and good happy hour deals with a beautiful waterfront view. Pompano Joes also has a good happy hour and beautiful waterfront views. About a mile away is Legion Park, a county park with a boat launch, picnic areas with grills, and a playground. We used this park daily to launch our paddle craft and let our dog swim in the bay. Dogs are not allowed on the beach in the county so this was a great place for her to play and swim. Park access is free and it was not very crowded when we were there in the spring. Another good place to go for hiking is Topsail Hill Preserve State Park which is about six miles away and has around 20 miles of trails but this is a fee park. 

Regarding private parks in the area, this one is the cheapest and we felt safe and comfortable there. The grounds are well-cared for, it was quiet and the owners are super nice and helpful. The only reason we would not stay here again is the high cost.
