We're shedding the old name, Rustic Sands, and transforming into a new RV Resort!
Category 5 Hurricane Michael passed directly over Mexico Beach in 2018, nearly destroying the resort and everything else in its path. It's been a hard few years for the resort, but with new ownership and a great team that cares about your comfort, we're working hard to turn this into a 5-star destination you'll be sure to enjoy. If you've been here before, we invite you to visit us again! You'll be excited to see the changes and renovations taking place.
Mexico Beach RV Resort is under new ownership and renovations. For more details about renovations and what amenities are impacted, please call our office prior to your stay at 850-648-5229.

We stayed at site D7A this was our first time stay at Indian pass we loved it we have a 40’ 5th wheel and it fit in the site easy site was a little un level but not to bad it was quiet even when the park was packed we will absolutely be back
GuidePros: -Right on the water, 1 minute walk to the beach. We could see the water from our site A1 -quiet and remote area with fewer people than surrounding 30A areas -close to Cape San Blas and Port St Joe to explore -clean bathrooms and showers
Cons:

We have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site 64 for 4 days in mid April. This is a relatively small CG, with~15 wooded sites that are reasonably spaced. The CG is very clean, recently renovated, well maintained and relatively inexpensive. Most of the sites are water only, but there are a handful of them that also have 50A service. The roads and sites are sandy gravel. Our site had a little bit of slope side to side, but not too bad. There aren’t any hiking trails leading from the CG, but there are others in the area. There are no lights in the CG except the two on the bathhouse, which are unnecessarily as bright as the Sun
AT&T coverage was pretty dismal, with 1 bar of 5GE service and speeds only up to 0.9 MB/s. The CG has a lot of trees, but the pines only have top foliage, so access and coverage for DISH and Starlink was really good. Starlink was able to get speeds up to 20 MB/s with few if any dropouts. No CG WiFi.
GuideSomewhat isolated, but Saint Joe is not far away. Everything you need is pretty much on site. Great place for kayaking, surf fishing, and there’s a boat ramp right next-door. Beautiful scenery, and well almost always full, it’s not a large campground, and you have some privacy. 3 miles down. The road is a nice oyster bar. The camp office sells frozen bait. Verizon service is excellent. 
LegendAt the end of of the end of the road, beautiful waterfront location with sand beach. Our site (a4) was not the best but the campground is nice. Not first class amenities, but overall ok.

Not much privacy
TravelerGreat location under palm trees and beside the water but bathrooms are terrible and place not well maintained.
RangerLots of personality and most fellow campers you meet are great. Gravel sites mostly level. Water and sewer hookups. Shower house and laundry. Ice available but no camp store. Just steps to the beach on the shuttle to St. Vincent Island for a day of shelling or fishing. 9 miles of beach to walk or ride your bike.
Guide
Easy to navigate, super clean and well maintained. The view is spectacular. Bathrooms are laid out super nice, clean and comfortable.
ScoutWe’ve been coming to Indian Pass and the area for twenty years and although there has been some areas of overdevelopment, this campground still has the old Florida feel. Friendly staff, beautiful sites right on the water, stunning sunsets and wilderness all around you!
ScoutBeautiful setting on the tip of a peninsula admidst wildlife, salt water marshes, a bay on one side and the gulf on the other. Access to the ferry to St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge is within camground.
GuideDecent campground, especially if you like to fish. Booked our water site months in advanced. Boat ramp near campground entrance. We kayaked the inlet to St Vincent Island. Get lunch at Indian Pass Raw Bar.
TravelerNice spot in Mexico Beach literally across the road from the beach. We were a little concerned as our lot backed up to the road and there was no security we could see. Gates open 24-7, but had no issues. Gravel lots close to your neighbors and a little pricey but you are paying for location.
GuideLoved it here. Most sites were in view of the water. Lady in the office was nice and helpful. Bathrooms were clean. Seems to be a pretty laid back place. Boat ramp beside camp. Just don’t let the biting flies carry you away.
Scout
Nice little CG on the bay with a good number of direct bayfront sites. Some with pine trees for shade. Clean bathrooms. Swimming pool. Small market/ general store within walking distance.
TravelerStayed at Indian Pass for fives nights in April of 2022 at Site C10. I’ll list the positives first.
This is the quietest campground we have every stayed at with a beautiful view from almost every single site. It’s very isolated and perfect for couples who don’t need a lot of “stuff”. Now for the not so positive stuff. We have a 33 foot 5th Wheel and when we made the reservations we were assured our 5th wheel would fit. It did but just barely and not without a whole lot of jockeying to get it into the site where we could pull out all three slides - but not the awnings. Just not enough room. C10 backs directly to the bay and the breeze is wonderful. The campground is a bit long in the tooth but the staff is very friendly and accommodating. The bathhouse is adequate but the cleaning schedule is not adhered to and both times I attempted to take a shower I had to wait an hour because they still weren’t done. Final note, they claim to be directly across from the world famous Indian Pass Raw Bar - they are actually 2.9 miles from them so don’t expect a leisurely walk down to the bar for dinner and then back. All in all we would probably not stay here again simply because the sites are too small and the campground is too isolated for our tastes.
ScoutWe tent camped and brought our boat. If you love snorkling check out TH Stone Park. It is a protected bay with clear water. Lots of sealife to explore. Fishing is excellent all around this area.
TravelerLoved this oasis outside of Port St. Joe! Tent camping limited but the 5 tent sites are ON THE WATER and the fishing is spectacular!
LegendThere are 3 separate High Bluff Primitive campsites, one at Dry Bridge, one at Rake Creek and one at Pidcock Road. Each spot is so far away from each other that you feel completely secluded, which is nice. We stayed at Pidcock Rd. Even though nobody was around we still kept the dogs on leash because the spot is surrounded by water on 3 sides, and we didn't want to risk any alligator attacks.
Site wasn't totally clean but definitely not the worst we've seen. There is a fire ring, picnic table, and grill. No toilet or garbage facilities so please pack out your waste.
Road in was bumpy with some huge pits but easily navigable even in our 26ft class c, just watch the road and take it slow. There was no cell service on the roads once we entered the dense forest but the spot itself was cleared of trees enough that we got service on ATT and Verizon.
We followed the step by step directions that were in the confirmation email and not google maps' directions and we had no problems.
Site was $9/night plus tax and fees which brought it to $16.79 for the one night.

Absolutely wonderful campground I grew up going to. But Hurricane Michael ravaged it and it is not open for camping, day use only. The ranger took our money and we went through, but could only get about a half mile into the park before it is closed off. Just something to be aware of.
ScoutKkknnbbb
RangerFrom the main road it’s not what you’d expect. Once inside this jewel of a campground you will be like everyone else. This is awesome. The setting, sites and all around feel if this place is just what we like. Spacious, privacy but friendly campers. Level, awesome views and a stones throw to the beach.
RangerFrom the main road it’s hard to see what a cute jewel of a campground this is. Level, gravel, water and electric. Pump service available or a dump station is available. Interior sites are 40.00 and water view are 50.00 per night.
ScoutThis campground is amazing. You can walk across the street to the beach. The sunsets are beautiful! The bath house and laundry room is always spotless.
GuideWe went for two days, stayed 3. The sites feel very private, lots of vegetation, water views. The campground is old but clean. The manager gets 5⭐️ in my opinion. No Wi-Fi or cell. ( I did have intermittent 1 bar t-mobile). The beach is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
ScoutOur 2nd stop with our new bushwhacker camper
The spot perfect
Staff friendly, bathrooms clean Would recommend and definitely stay again
TravelerCoastline is a Preston’s campground. It’s peaceful with beautiful views of the water. Highly recommend!
