El Governor Motel & RV Park

Reservations are available at El Governor Motel & RV Park, a full-hookup RV property sitting directly across a two-lane road from the Gulf in Mexico Beach, Florida. Rates run $69 per night, and the park operates year-round with drive-in access. No pets are allowed, so plan accordingly before arrival.

Sites are gravel, close together, and fully exposed with no shade. The layout is compact. Reviewers consistently note that rigs park near neighbors, and the lots facing the road leave little buffer from passing traffic, with no gate security after hours. That said, the park is reported to be well-maintained: bathrooms, showers, and laundry facilities are kept clean according to multiple visitors. Full hookups include electric, water, and sewer connections, and WiFi is available on-site.

The primary draw is proximity to the water. Campers can walk across the street to reach the beach without driving. As Brian noted in a 2022 review, "you are paying for location," which captures the trade-off accurately: the setting is convenient, but the sites themselves are utilitarian and offer little in the way of green space or privacy. The park was rebuilt following significant damage from Hurricane Michael in 2018 and has been operating again since 2021.

Campers wanting more space or a larger property nearby can look at Mexico Beach RV Resort about a mile to the east, or Old Salt RV Park a bit farther down the coast.
