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.
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.
It was reasonable and the people who ran it were very nice. Nice store
Nice big sites, excellent hosts, very clean. Would definitely return.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Stayed here last year and fell in love with the park! Woke up every morning to a gorgeous view of the water. Owners are sweet people and very proud of their park.
Only seven camp sites all of them next to one another. River runs along the border of the camp there is a boat launch.
Quiet camping , clean and not crowded. No cell signal, peaceful near the river.
Showers were clean and well keep. The campground was nice
Very nice and clean area just a little buggy.
This is a beautiful spot. The pavilion is very nice. The outhouse was very clean. Nice quiet place to stay.
Stayed on sit 58 right on water, full hook up, Bathrooms clean, Wi-Fi good but you have to sign in with the company providing it 7 dollars a day, great access to beaches, good fishing along beaches and jetties, plenty of places to walk and ride bikes
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.
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!
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.
We camped here in 2022 and loved it! Water views, tons of trails, both walking and biking, deer cane right into our campsite a few times and we saw so many on our bike rides. Beautiful campground, well maintained! One of our favorites!
This is one of our favorite state parks! Make reservations early, they book up quick! You can make reservations 11 months in advance but we have scored a site setting up a cancellation notification.
The jetty area is perfect for young kids, it’s shallow enough for them to play and very little waves. Water is beautiful!! Be sure to bring your own chairs and umbrella, they are expensive to rent.
Campground has full hook ups, big rig friendly, laundry (bring your own quarters) and clean bath houses!

Moveable wooden and metal picnic table

No park WiFi

Short and sweet this park wasn’t for us. Aside from the overly friendly wildlife.. the large over 5ft rattle snake taking up residence in the space next to ours(which I know we are in the wild) made it a no go. The park is dated and not very spacious. Very small sites, bathroom was horrible and we got a refund minus a cancellation fee and called it a day. Never even set up our gear. Ymmv but for us this was a no go and the first state park in Florida we just left without staying. Sad on Mother’s Day but we did enjoy our local favorite.. blue parrot.
Amazing state park on the water. The campground is modern with nice clean bathrooms, laundry machines, vending machines, park store with cart rentals and other items. The spaces are close together but great. Nice level gravel pads, full hookups including sewer, and most have fire pits and picnic table.
Great campground, much to do in the park & around the park. IMO, best beaches in the USA.
So, it is a small but beautiful park with all the amenities you expect from the big parks just with ducks. There are some nice sites and some really narrow ones. There is enough to do and enough room in the park that the size of your site really doesn't matter in the long run because... ducks.
Sometimes it isn't just the way a park is but, how a park reacts to issues.
One of the seasonal employees was cutting the grass with a weed eater. It was throwing stones and broke a window on my rig. They immediately took responsibility and offered to have someone fix it locally ASAP. The window had to be ordered from the factory and would take 4-6 weeks to get to us. They tried to see if they had open sites until we could get the window fixed and have their local guys repair it. Unfortunately, they did not have room for us but, they are going to be reimbursing us for the expenses for the fix. Still waiting on the window as of this time.
Love working with good people.
Oh yeah, did I mention ducks?
Free duck eggs!
The staff was nice upon entry. We are overnightting here but the view is incredible. We arrived right around 3pm and the park was busy but nothing crazy. Pets are welcomed here as long as they respect boundaries, same as kids per the notes. Which we appreciate on both sides.
Pool looked clean and enjoyable by others.
