Best Campgrounds near Port St. Joe, FL

320 Reviews

Port Saint Joe camping gives you both natural beaches and good facilities. Carrabelle RV Resort has full hookups and isn't far from the shoreline. Great State Park works well for tent campers who want nice views and trails to hike. The park keeps its bathrooms clean and has water available in convenient spots, making your stay more comfortable. Summer camping here means hot weather and you might get caught in afternoon rain showers. Most people find camping better in fall or spring when it's cooler and less crowded. Take some time away from your campsite to check out the small downtown and the clean, uncrowded beaches. Port Saint Joe works well for camping trips whether you bring an RV or pack a tent.

    Indian Pass Campground

    Quiet and Relaxing

    This is a very low key campground., tucked away on a dead end road. Beautiful water front sites. Campground is just a tad compact when it comes to vehicle maneuverability, but very manageable. Wonderful and helpful staff. Will be returning.

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

    Beautiful location, but sooo many bugs

    This campground was really enjoyable. Sites are a decent size, close to each other but the trees and shrubbery provide enough privacy. The bathhouses were pretty nice as well. Spacious showers and hot water. The only downside to this location was the bugs— definitely recommend mosquito nets and a thermacell. We only stayed one night, but the management did spray for bugs around sunset.

    The activities on the island are amazing too. There were a couple boat ramps to launch kayaks from, lots of wildlife, a beautiful beach, and the stargazing was phenomenal.

    Whitehead Landing NF Campground

    Nice quiet off grid sites

    Decent Verizon signal, no T-Mobile. Non-potable water spigot. There’s a nice little boat ramp on the river.

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

    An itchy week

    The campground is easy to access with mostly level sites. Some sites have shade from overgrown brush/trees, enjoyed having the divide between sites. Easy access to the beach. BUT, the bathhouses need a lot more attention. Stayed a whole week, and the cleaning done was very minimal. It wasn't because campers were being destructive after a cleaning, it was clear it just wasn't being cleaned daily. My main complaint is, to no fault of the campground, was the amount of mosquitoes and other biting insects were unbearable. Insect repellent didn't work. Be careful of fire ant hills, they are everywhere. Bring all necessities because options are limited for shopping in the area and considerably more expensive than normal.

    Raccoon River Campground

    Great location in PCB

    We had a great time camping for 5 nights… we liked how close we were to the beach and even walked from the campground (although you do cross a busy road). There was beach chair rentals and being I. Such close proximity to the pier it was nice for the beach days. The campground is dated and have 3 little ones under the age of 6 and the playground was to “big” for them. I really don’t want to sound like I’m complaining we love camping and this was a great spot being in PCB. Our site was VERY small and now we know better where we will stay when we come back!!!
