    Perry KOA

    One of the Best KOA/Private Campgrounds We've Stayed

    The campground(CG) was easy to find. Check-in was quick and very friendly and we headed to back-in site E-27 for our overnight stay. This premium site is probably one of the most spacious in the CG, especially on the utilities side, where a swing bench looks out to a huge field. There was a nice patio, furniture, and propane grill that unfortunately, due to the January cold weather snap, we did not get to use. There’s a large tree on this site, so satellite could be iffy, but they have cable TV, plus you get a good amount of OTA channels. The sites in this KOA are well-spaced in comparison to others we’ve stayed in the past. They have a nice camp store that even has a humidor with cigars. They also seem to be the town’s“go-to” place for propane fills. Water pressure was good at about 50 PSI, and we got 3 bars on Verizon. We were in the far back corner of the CG and had to carefully plan our departure to avoid tight turns and other campers departing to get to the exit. Perry has your major amenities. Get a site in the back area away from the road noise. As this was easily one of the best KOAs and private CGs we’ve stayed in, we would definitely come back.

    Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island State Park Campground

    Very Nice and Secluded

    Very nice and quiet camp site. Each site is very private, and the camp is very secluded. After entering the park, it's a four mile drive. The closest large town is about one hundred miles away.

    The beach is walking distance, but no pets are allowed on the State Park Beaches, but pets are allowed on the public beaches outside the park.

    There's not much shade for tent campers.

    This camp ground is hard to get into, so it's best to book early.

    Lastly, although the camp ground have electric outlets at each site, 20, 30, and 50 amps, the closest high speed EV charger is 56 miles away in Mexico Beach, about one and a half hours drive.

    Tallahassee RV Park

    Very Nice RV Park

    We stayed nine days in Campsite 39, a gravel pull through with more than enough room for our 27' truck camper and jeep tow vehicle. We used 30 amp power and it was steady. The power, sewer and water connections were conveniently located. We were impressed by the cleanliness of this RV park; there are many pine trees and the staff worked hard to keep the sites and roads neat and raked. The laundry is reasonable at$2 wash and$1.50 dry and all the machines were clean and worked properly. We did not use the pool, restrooms or showers but they were all clean and in good condition. A Walmart Supercenter, Publix Market, Costco and Bass Pro are 4 miles away. Wakulla Springs State Park is 23 miles away and worth a visit. We enjoyed our time here and will stay again.

    Great spot to stop

    Carrabelle Beach RV Resort

    Relaxing on the beach

    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.

    Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island State Park Campground

    Beach Lovers Paradise

    Let me say first that St. George Island State Park is perhaps the main reason we purchased our small travel trailer in the first place and found groups like The Dyrt for insight for other places to explore. We visited St. George Island in May on Florida’s“Forgotten Coast” but the State Park on the island really stole the show. 

    The first thing you’ll notice about both the island and in particular the State Park is how remote it is. The beaches are seemingly empty even during busy seasons. It has one of the most beautiful beaches in the entire state of Florida and as Floridian’s we are pretty particular. The beach is lined with beautiful sand dunes from one end to the other. The island is narrow with a single road maybe 5 miles long. The road was closed after the camp ground as they are still repairing the park from the last hurricane that hammered The Panhandle area of Florida. Not sure what's taking so long as State Park HQ is in Tallahassee only an hour or so away. 

    The park has one camp ground and sites are very hard to come by. One visit and you’ll see why. Facilities are very well maintained with a friendly staff which is true for most Florida State Parks. There was a good mix of people camping in tents, small trailers and big rigs which is nice as many places in Florida are dominated by people who camp with everything they own and have rigs bigger than our house. 

    You bring your own fun here so just chill on the beach. If you have kayaks or paddle boards bring em. If you have bikes, those would be good too. Fishing(check). You could probably catch dinner as there is little pressure on these waters. There is some hiking but just walking on the beach is great. Nice flat beach at low tide with hard packed sand from the outgoing tide will make it a great walk. 

    Be sure to visit Apalachicola across the bay. A really good place to eat is the Owl Cafe and if you can get there for a Sunday Brunch, all the better. Very local, very southern, very authentic. 

    We will be back for sure whenever we can secure a camping spot that fits our schedule. Hope it won't be too long!

    Ochlockonee River State Park Campground

    Smaller quiet wilderness campground

    We came to this campground after staying at St George Island state oro to complete a 2 week trip. We read the reviews of the small spaces for big rigs and we confirm it as we arrived.. although it is a fact we still made it with our fifth wheel on campsite#9 designated for a 35’. If the site had the front bushes trimmed out it would make it easier since it’s a curve to back it. But at the end we just back straight and the privacy of it was worth it.. it’s just back of the river and canoeing area and although we got rained at arrival since hurricane Sally approach same day we were able to see what we came for, quiet, peace, small not crowded campsite and got to see very close the unique white squirrel. Rangers at main gate were very friendly and gave us great information and tips due to heavy rain and winds expected due to hurricane Sally approaching same night. We walk thru a couple of trials and everything was well maintained. Also used the women’s restroom and although is not new the toilet and sink areas were really cleaned and the toilet paper was actually of a great quality. ( impressive knowing this to be badly rated restrooms). The tide creek Picnic Shelter is well maintained , lots of parking and there is a lot to do if you bring the kids including swings and slides. Canoeing, fishing, fire rings and all the uniqueness of the palmetto bushes and oak trees. If you like to be alone in the woods and no heavy city population this is the park to come. Did not got to enjoy the stars because of all the rain from hurricane path. We never experimented any bad winds during this Hurricane situation and the rain went so well for our taste of resting before heading back to our 7 hour trip back home. And yes looking forward to come again but will try other better sites for our fifth wheel now I know which they are.

    Ochlockonee River State Park Campground

    Small sites, Friendly Neighbors

    1/29/2021 This campground is spotless. Concrete pads are level and electrical hookup looks new. Our truck camper fits perfectly, but big rigs are a tight fit.

    Although many sites are close together we found the other campers to be friendly, and interesting conversations abounded.

    We saw the white squirrels. On our walk through the nature trails we saw a doe (not the resident white deer).

    We were only able to get one night because the campground was full.

    What a Pleasant Surprise

    I have camped at many KOA campgrounds, and periodically, I've come across a shining star. This is one of those times. The staff at check-in was terrific, friendly, and just loved what they were doing. The campsites are well-spaced. The facilities are clean. My site A9 was a back-in site, newly added, with a gravel base, perfectly level, full hookups, and 96 channels of crystal clear cable TV. The internet speed was over the top. I was there for two nights and even got to spend time at the local bluegrass festival.


Guide to Panacea

Panacea, Florida sits along the northern Gulf Coast in an area known as Florida's Forgotten Coast. This coastal fishing village maintains cooler temperatures than southern Florida, with summer highs averaging 88-92°F and winter lows rarely dipping below 40°F. RV campsites in the region range from basic gravel pads to premium waterfront locations with concrete foundations.

What to Do

Fishing opportunities: The Ochlockonee River provides excellent freshwater fishing access. At Ed and Bernices Fish Camp and RV Park, campers can use the boat ramp included with their rental. "We kayaked and loved and I mean absolutely love being on this river. Did some swimming and fishing off the side. Caught some huge brim, they were delicious," notes one visitor.

Beach exploration: The beaches near Carrabelle offer relaxed shorelines without crowds. "We stopped here for a few nights while traveling and exploring Florida. We could see the beach from our spot. We found a museum .02 miles away and crooked lighthouse to explore," reports a camper at Carrabelle Beach RV Resort.

Wildlife viewing: Gulf waters provide opportunities to observe marine life from shore. At Coastline RV Resort, "You can watch dolphins in the bay. They keep the facilities very clean," according to one camper who enjoyed the waterfront setting.

What Campers Like

Waterfront access: Camping directly on the water ranks as a top attraction. At The Old Pavilion RV Park, "If you get a spot on the water is a must do. Literally 5 feet from the gulf of Mexico. Sunsets are the most spectacular you will ever see. Tons of birds. Fish jumping."

Clean facilities: Many RV campgrounds in Panacea maintain well-kept amenities. "The bathrooms were spotless. I felt like I walked into a spa when I opened the door calming music started and the lights came on. The showers are big!" notes a camper at Coastline RV Resort.

Fishing infrastructure: Purpose-built amenities for anglers exist at several parks. "The park and bathrooms are very clean. A fish cleaning station. Bring your toys for the river, we had a blast," reports a visitor at Ed and Bernices Fish Camp.

What You Should Know

Site variations: RV sites across Panacea campgrounds differ significantly in size and layout. At Tallahassee RV Park, "Sites are gravel, very level. Many pull thrus. Sites are close together. We have a tiny trailer but sites are full hook up and can fit larger rigs."

Seasonal considerations: Winter brings more visitors to the region. "We stayed here for a month June to July. We have enjoyed our stay. There is a small pool that is open mostly all the time. Very friendly people. Gravel lots, not huge but big enough," reports a camper at Panacea RV Park.

Price fluctuations: Rates vary significantly based on location and timing. "Only single complaint was $52 (included a discount) seemed a bit high. But in all honesty I would stay again, it really was a nice spot," notes a Tallahassee RV Park visitor.

Tips for Camping with Families

Beach access considerations: Some campgrounds offer better family beach experiences than others. At Ho-Hum RV Park, "Great little campground if you're looking for views and not amenities. Dog friendly and fine for kids but be mindful that there's not much to do except fish and walk on the small beach."

Kid-friendly activities: While swimming options exist, parents should know limitations. "This park isn't the fanciest but it has some of the best views you can find. It seems to cater to folks without kids as the beach isn't much of a beach and there isn't much to do other than look at the gulf," reports a Ho-Hum RV Park camper.

Wildlife observation: Children enjoy spotting marine life. "Great views, tight spaces, super clean, not recommended for kids for long stays," notes another Ho-Hum visitor, suggesting shorter stays work better for families.

Tips from RVers

Leveling requirements: Many sites require equipment for proper setup. At Seagrass Hideaway, "This large private lot, surrounded by mature trees, offers privacy as well as shaded areas, tucked away on a cul de sac, minutes from the serene, unspoiled beach."

Hookup locations: RVers should check specific utility placement before parking. "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," advises a Carrabelle Beach RV Resort visitor.

Local regulations: Some rv campgrounds near Panacea prohibit certain activities. "No frills. Non bathhouse... Full hookups 20 bucks with passport America. Cash only. Lots of sport fisherman," notes an Old Pavilion RV Park visitor regarding facility limitations and payment options.
