Best Campgrounds near Port St. Joe, FL

Super easy booking and checkin. Lots of great work done on the property and a beautiful location.

We had a wonderful stay. The place was very clean. The staff at the office were cheerful and very pleasant. The dog park area in back had good grass and was clear of poop and such.

The view. Wow! Just wonderful. This is my new favorite place to stay along the Florida Panhandle coastline.

Beautiful, clean, amazing state park! I would highly recommend spending time at this campground!

Possibly the best kept secret in the area.

Loved my stay at this location. Trash needed to be emptied and ticks are definitely out at this campsite but only in the woods so get fire wood along the dirt road on your way in to avoid the ticks and sticker bushes. Other then that people i met there were great, no drama and bathrooms were decent.

As the title states. At midnight on our second night at 50 Rake Creek, two separate vehicles raced right past our tent and parked down by the water access. When told that it was a reserved private campsite that I paid for, they became aggressive and argued that it was not private. Both vehicles did three point turns, narrowly missing our tent and shining headlights in our faces and spun tires out of the campsite. We felt unsafe and like they might return to retaliate so we had no choice but to break camp at midnight and make a 5 hour drive through the night back home. 

During the day, multiple vehicles miss the small sign that says "primitive campsite" at the dirt road entrance and drive down the road looking to fish or explore. Most of them quickly turn around when they realize its a campsite. 

I have emailed the state forest asking for better signage indicating that it is a paid for, reserved campsite or a gate with a code. If it weren't for the music blaring, tire spinning, aggressive individuals who argued that it was not private when I asked them to leave, I would not be making such a fuss about it. It seems that we campers with a reservation busted up their usual backroad drinking spot. 

Lovely campsite that we had decided was the best place we had ever camped with a short 15 min drive to St. George Island until we were essentially run off in the middle of the night.

Spacious and quiet camping area. Camped here for a weekend in mid-February and there was only one other person here, despite the free campground just down the road being full. Temperatures ranged from the 70s during the day to the low 50s at night. At only $3/night, you can't beat the peace and quiet! These campsites include a metal fire ring and picnic tables. There is also a pit toilet that is surprisingly clean, trash receptacles, and water spigots. The campground is popular as a hunters camp during deer season, and features a boat ramp, so there is some occasional fishing traffic through the grounds. Only downside is that most of the fire rings seem to double as garbage cans by other campers as they are leaving, despite the nearby receptacles. So expect to pick up someone else's trash before you can build a fire. Otherwise, the campground is very clean.

Still recovering from the many storms that have directly impacted them over the last few years. Clean and nicely maintained facilities. Staff was very friendly. Beach is amazing.

RiverLanding is the cleanest, friendliest, and most beautiful park. Nestled along the banks of the Apalachicola River, it is just a beautiful site to see. Staff and owners are very kind and helpful. I recommend this park 10/10! Hands down one of the best I have ever been to! Don't miss out and stop by if your ever in the Panhandle area of Florida. You will not be disappointed!

10 campsites all fairly spacious (too big for just me as I am solo tent camping). CG overlooks a small lake. Nice open day use waterfront area. Swimming area as well. The lake has a hiking trail encircling it. Showers had hot water, I was surprised. 2 mi dirt road to get to it. I recommend.

Nice park and CG. Park is under construction with improvements . Trails, paddling access. , shelters, concession, food available. CG has back in, and pull thru sites with fire rings, water, electric, pads. Good views of Grand Lagoon. Wildlife viewing is good and park has interpretive center.

This place is great! A beach within a short walk, palm trees,clean bathrooms, wildlife, sunsets………… And the Florida State Parks system is contactable and friendly!!! There are hike in spots for those with tents who want to. There are very nice screened in cabins available.

Florida State Parks did a great job redoing this campground after Hurricane Michael in 2018. Brand new facilities, excellent camping pads, and good beach access. You can still see some of the hurricane damage which is a testament to the severity of Michael in the area.

Great State Park. Under a little construction can’t wait to see when completed. Beaches. Views. All hook ups. Quiet and at the end of Panama Beach away from the big tours areas.

I truly believe that it is the soul of the RV Park that makes it wonderful. The owners and managers of this park are absolutely incredible. The most accommodating kindest, most friendly people I have ever run across in all of the travels I’ve done which is many and my RV! This place has not been on the map before it is new and it has only had about a month in operating at this location. I kind of accidentally ended up here when being evacuated from hurricane Milton in Clearwater and somebody else from another campground that turned out to be a bust suggested we go here because it was an unknown location. Well Joanie, the owner was packed, but she fit us in anyway she made a parking space she created a connection. She figured out how to get water to us and welcomed us with food and music. The park inside has tables and chairs and little beautiful hanging lights a big fire pit and a really nice bathhouse with laundry room… We were instantly welcomed and various churches brought over food to all the campers here who had been evacuated from their homes… the place is beautiful and clean and sits on the prettiest river the Apalachicola river. It’s pet friendly and lots of dogs and kids with a big bounce house for the kids to play on guys came over from churches with guitars and played music just a wonderful place to beif you’re on your way back down to Florida evacuating run don’t walk to this campground because there’s lots of space here that is unfilled at the moment just because she isn’t well known.
