Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Mexico Beach, FL

I have read a lot of the reviews. I think some of these people had other issues that caused them to give a bad review. Yes, this is known as a cat haven but with people who have dogs should stay in the dog parks, If they don't accept a place that cannot turn a blind eye to cats. This is an RV park and a campground and I'm not sure why people would expect more luxury than the outdoors experience. This is a beautiful getaway away from the ocean but right next door, and people would love this place if they knew the history behind it and maybe honor it a little bit more. The impact from people that don't like this place gives it a bad reputation. Why listen to someone who don't want you to know about the experience? Just want you to know what they think about it. This is a great place and there are a lot of hardworking, honest people. This is not just a campground, people are residents here and have been here a long time, some would even call it home. There's nothing wrong with anything about this place. It is a wonderful place to be.

This recommendation is based on our site location which was oceanfront.  We were there over Thanksgiving and the location with the sunset and views was worth the slightly higher cost we normally pay.  Check out the campground site map, and if there is an oceanfront site, you won't regret booking this RV resort. 

We didn't experience too much of the town, restaurants or shops, but we did LOVE Mexico beach.  It is beautiful, white sand beach and was empty on Thanksgiving weekend.  The dogs loved it!  Highly recommend this park, but definitely get a site on the ocean.

The campground doesn't have as much shade or as many trees as it had before the hurricane in 2018, but it is back open for business and is a great place for military and veterans to park their campers short or long term.  There are also some small, elevated cabins back in business and a rec center/lounge area that can be reserved for groups, which includes a large kitchen (call ahead, may be closed due to COVID).  It's close to Tyndall AFB and the Tyndall marina (requires a drive, not directly connected) where you can rent kayaks, canoes, pontoon boats, jet skis, bikes, and more (again, call ahead to verify availability and whether reservations are required).  It's about a 15 minute drive from Walmart, Win Dixie, and a slew of restaurants both fast-food and regular.  A 20 minute drive will put you in Mexico Beach, a town devastated by the hurricane but well on it's way to recovery--a real gem.  A bit further away is Port St. Joe, a quaint Gulf-side town with restaurants, shops, parks, and more.

Nice campground. Helpful staff at check-in. It has a nice pool and is on the beach. Access is across Route 98, but the traffic was minimal. There is some road noise at site#39, but it is not bad. Level site, full hooks, cable TV, and good internet speeds. Getting the RV positioned was a little tricky. While the site is long enough, the sewer connection is closer to the front of the site, so we could not park at the back. We had to be positioned to reach the sewer connection and work our rear slide around a large palm tree. Site 39 backs up to the pool and park office. At busier times, there may be a lot of people traffic, but not during our stay. Also note that there are no firepit or grills provided at the site. You must have your own grill. We enjoyed our five-night stay here. IGA grocery store in Carrabelle is the closest. Fathom’s Steam Room and Raw Bar is an old Florida open-air restaurant and bar with live music. There is a small dog park in the resort. Lots to explore in the area: Carrabelle, Eastpoint, St George Island, Lighthouse, and State Park, Tate’s Hell State Forest, Crooked River Lighthouse, or just relaxing by the pool or on the beach.

Beautiful, quiet country setting. Loved it!! Saw deer, many birds and gorgeous sunsets. Spacious sites with cement pads. Full hook-ups except cable. Able to get multiple channels with antenna only. Very nice clubhouse, pool, restrooms and laundry. Everything inside and out is immaculate. Fenced dog park with toys and obstacles. Gated RV park so only park guests are driving in. Manager, Stacey, cheerful and kind. Obviously enjoys her job. Park is within easy driving distance to 4 state parks and several small towns so we took day trips to sightsee. Would definitely stay here again if back in the area.
