      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.

      The name of this resort is wrong in the Dyrt app. It's Carrabelle RV Resort. We stopped here for a few nights while traveling and exploring Florida. The resort was nice. Our site was #18. We could see the beach from our spot. The bathrooms were clean. Everyone there was super friendly. They had a nice size pool but I didn't use it. We found a museum .02 miles away and crooked lighthouse to explore.

      Beautiful park

      We stayed a week here and had a great time. The only complaints weren’t the parks fault. The yellow biting flies are the spawn of satan. I read they are most prevalent April-June and they were horrible. I wish the new pool was open, but I understand that’s out of their control. We loved our site and it had some shade, but not all sites do have shade. The sites are relatively level and very clean. The park is in a convenient location and quiet.

      A gem to be kept a secret …shhh

      Site #1. May. No one else there. Pretty hot during the day - 90s and around 70 at night. But the spring is about a 5 min walk and one can swim whenever. Already made reservations for next year. Beautiful and quiet only 3 sites. Sites good size. Picnic pavilion is excellent.

      Right on the beach

      This site was great and right on the beach. It is close to the road but you’ll hardly notice. The Host was great and was very accommodating. The only negative was we had to dig up the sewer connection which is right by the water hookup.
      2 warnings the site has no shelter from the wind and a storm could damage your Rv which happened to us and bring a good rug for the outside because you’ll get sand everywhere.

      Beautiful beach stay but could use some improvements

      Pros: -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:

      • our site was difficult to back into down a small hill and not very level.
      • there are large trees and they could do some branch trimming. Our rig is 32 feet and was rubbing on branches when trying to exit.

      Nice, quiet, well maintained, friendly, wooded CG

      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.

      Good times

      The place was very well kept and nice. Great views and nice employees who were very friendly and helpful. WiFi is very spotty and Verizon is very weak. AT&T phones worked well. Wife was not able to connect for a work meeting, but other than that the cable tv works well. No beach area or fishing from shore. You can rent a boat to go out fishing. Price was reasonable.

      Cheap w/ Passport America

      Pros: quiet, level site, full hookups that all functioned, friendly work campers.

      Cons: Very dated facilities in need of updates. Rec room is a "wreck." There are signs of patchwork repair and stalled projects everywhere. Very few services or businesses within 20 miles.

      ATT IS GREAT! I did not try the wifi. I did not check out the laundry or exercise room.

      Remote and quaint

      Somewhat 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.

      An adventurous paradise away from the ocean paradise

      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.

      Convenient and very well kept

      We were scheduled to stay here a few years back, but our trip was canceled due to a hurricane. The campground kept the credit on our account and we were finally able to use it! The staff is very friendly,and the campsites are well kept. We didn't use the bathhouse, but the laundry room was very neat and tidy and thw machines were clean! Would definitely stay here again!

      Right on the ocean! Sunsets, views and dog friendly beaches

      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.

      Fantastic spot

      This spot was plenty big for our 40’ Class A and toad. RIGHT ON THE BEACH! You do get some road noice, but to us being right on the beach offset that. It has full hookups, picnic table and fire pit. We will definitely try to come back as we love Cape San Blas.

      RV by the Sea

      Literally right on the beach

      Small site. There are two hookups there, so if you have a neighbor it’ll be a little tight. However, you’re so close to the beach, that white noise from the ocean will give you plenty of privacy.

      We stayed in November so it was cool. But still great. We slept with the windows open. It was glorious.

      The dogs had a great time chasing crabs on the beach and my daughters were able to find several perfect sea shells.

      We had an amazing time. Cape San Blas is secluded. You’re about 10 miles from a grocery store and restaurants (we planned meals). But there is a general store that is surprisingly well stocked. It doesn’t have everything, but it’s got the things you might need to fill out any missing staples from your pantry.

      We loved it. Will stay again.
