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 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.
Not much privacy
Easy to navigate, super clean and well maintained. The view is spectacular. Bathrooms are laid out super nice, clean and comfortable.
Nice 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.
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.
There 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.

This 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.
Coastline is a Preston’s campground. It’s peaceful with beautiful views of the water. Highly recommend!
This is a very small campground where you park very close together. The park is very clean. No shade. Full hookups. Bath and showers and laundry.
Office staff were very helpful and WiFi worked great. Also short drive to the beach. Bath house needs lots of work but is functional. Campground has small mobile home lot at back of property.
This is one of the most amazing little spots. The true forgotten coast. From the bay to the Gulf of Mexico beautiful scenery, lots of nature, and some of the most breathtaking sunsets you can catch. Unfortunately hurricane Michael devastated this area causing the camping site of the park to close along with access to the beautiful wooded nature preserve. You can still access the beach and the bay.
The Park is open, good access to the beach but not much for park looks.
Apríl 6, 2021 Site:49 Pidock Rd. Remote, secluded, primitive camping Use GPS coordinants but still very Difficult to find w/o assistance from Park Service Office about two miles north of access road. Very pretty site is off a woods road on a river with wetland on two other sides
I have two dogs so worried about gators which are no doubt here.
Too bad that thoughtless,idiot campers left fair amount of used toilet paper and empty cans and bottles a few feet away from the picnic table. Not putting up with that. Booked three nights, stayed one.
We camped at Pidcock Road Campsite #49 during the 2020 Leonid meteor shower. Nice place for dogs (req'd on leash) as no other campsites nearby. Very quiet, no water or electricity. Don't trust google map for road directions, you have to approach from the east or north. Dirt roads could be an issue if wet and for larger RV-type set-ups. Marginal cell phone coverage (AT&T).
If you forget to reserve, there’s a sign reminding you to call. 2 sites on the cash creek boat launch, both clean and scenic. The boat ramp gets some use (4 kayaks total for the day) but otherwise it’s very quiet. Bathroom available because of the boat ramp. It says tent only but the sites are big enough to back in a 20 foot trailer.
This park has not reopened since the area was devastated by Hurricane Michael in Oct 2018. However, it is being rebuilt and will hopefully be ready for RVs in the next few months. The park is across the road from a nice beach. Campers could use the facilities in the hotel on the beach-side, but that is also being rebuilt.
Most of the park, including camping, is currently closed due to damage from Hurricane Michael. The boat ramp and day use area are open. We spend the day swimming, looking for wildlife and enjoying the sun.
Fish, sea urchins, starfish, deer, and birds were all in the park and viewable during our visit. Be sure to take sunscreen! They have kayak rentals that make the water enjoyable. We are looking forward to when the camping is back open and can further explore this great Park.
Hurricane Michael beat this park down. They’ll be working a few more years before they’re back in operation for camping. The south part of the park is currently open for day use only.
Things we love about this campground: Snorkeling for scallops Swimming Bike riding Nature Secluded areas
Grand Seclusion, quiet land. creek separating some sites.
There is currently no camping allowed at the campground due to the significant damage caused by hurricane Michael in October 2018. The park is open for day use of the beach, swimming and paddle boating. I urge everyone to please stop by to show continued interest in this beautiful area. In time this will once again be as spectacular as ever and hopefully a decision will be made on reopening the campgrounds. This was one of those places that once visited you will never forget. I’m providing a few pictures from my last visit in 2018 before the hurricane to show what it was and what it will return to over time.

T.H. Stone Memorial St. Joseph Peninsula State Park T.H. Stone St. Joseph Memorial Peninsula State Park is recovering. The natural communities on the peninsula, such as coastal scrub, have evolved over millions of years and countless storms. Tall dunes provided extra protection. The resilient coastal ecosystems in the park are some of the best suited to rebounding after hurricanes. The south end of the park reopened in January 2019. Staff and volunteers made an incredible effort to clean up debris and make the park safe for visitors. The northern area of the park is currently closed to visitors. Natural sand infill has narrowed the channel created by Hurricane Michael’s storm surge. Across the channel, in the northern half of the park, roads, utilities and several facilities were destroyed and are not accessible. It will be some time before camping or cabins are available. The south end of the park still offers many of the experiences that make St. Joseph a great destination. Swimming, snorkeling and beach-combing are still popular activities. The concession is offering rentals of kayaks and paddle-boards, and a boat ramp provides easy access to St. Joseph Bay. The Division of Recreation and Parks' Office of Park Planning continues to assess the park’s condition. The Office of Park Planning shares opportunities for public comment on their webpage. For the most current information on available amenities and conditions, visit St. Joseph Memorial Peninsula State Park or call 850-227-1327. Please remember, for your safety and to protect the park’s ecosystems, please obey all posted signage. ______________________________________________________________________________
From what I understand, the park is currently closed to camping and cabins due to hurricane damage but some areas are still open. I am reviewing anyway to help encourage public support to rebuild the access to the park and reopen.
This park had smaller sites that were close together; however, the thick vegetation between sites gave each one a very private feel. The ground is dirt/sand (with a paved road leading to sites). The beach is absolutely wonderful. The restrooms were very large, clean, and well kept. There are bike trails leading down boardwalks and paved roads, and a large playground. All of the staff we encountered were very polite and helpful.
As we left, a very heavy storm came and the site flooded as we were packing up. Of course, as most daily gulf storms go, everything dried up rather quickly.
Abundance of places to explore and great fishing. We have been visiting for a few years now. Feels like home!
Great, short walk to beach access. Lots of activities on bayside as well, including kayak rentals and put-ins. Two large, clean bathrooms with showers at Shady Pine campground. Recycling available and dumpsters in good order.
You need to book this place way in advance, within minutes of these cabins being available for reservation. Reserve even if you don't know you'll be able to go; cancellation is like $17 or something.
Cell reception is spotty with At&T.
Beach is a pretty hilly 10 min. hike or so - so you will need to be organized and not be hand carrying big coolers; you'll need backpack. But not many people make the hike; you'll often have the beach to yourselves.
Lots of wildlife around - deer, armadillos, etc.
If wind is blowing from the north (shore toward beach, from behind you if you are looking at the gulf) the beach may have nasty biting flies, so drive 45 mins and go to St. George beach. Usually wind comes off the gulf though and keeps the bugs at bay.
We love Cabin #7.Cabin 8 has steps down to the bay; all others are a straight walk out.
Downstairs "beds" are not really suitable for adults; I wouldn't try to put more than 2 adults in a cabin and expect much sleep.
Bring kayaks and SUPs! You will be right on the bay, and St. Joe bay is great paddling with tons of fish and wildlife. We've seen manta rays, tons of cownose rays, huge schools of Jack Crevalle, turtles, and caught many species of fish...redfish, snook, seatrout, etc. Even saw an alligator way out at the end of the peninsula once!
if you want serenity and lots of beach to yourself this is it. it is located out on peninsula and there is no thru traffic. day use area but so much beach you have lots of solitude.
