Best RV Parks & Resorts near Port St. Joe, FL

Water's Edge is conveniently located if you love outdoor activities in northern Florida. It is close to a 9-mile bike path, boat launch to beautiful St Joseph's and Apalachicola Bays, and the gorgeous beaches of Cape San Blas. It is also close to Port St Joe and Apalachicola, two small, but lovely towns with shopping and restaurants. The campground itself is okay. The sites are for RVs only and are full hook-ups. They are long enough and level - my only complaint is that they are very close together. The little store at the campground is very convenient and stocks a good, diverse supply of groceries, beer and wine. The campground is also across the street from Indian Pass Raw Bar - known for their raw oysters.

This park is beautiful. Lagoon on one side, ocean on the other. Very clean and level sites. Full hook-ups, camp store, laundry, public bathrooms. Backed up right to ocean. Couldn’t ask for much better.

This is a simple, no frills RV park with full hookups. There are no views of the bay or other scenic views but it is quiet and clean with level concrete pads. It also has one small bath house. The downside is that there are “grass burrs” everywhere in the sparse grassy areas if you want to walk a dog but there is a dog park.

Beautiful spot.wish theyd had long term

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.

Full hook ups, gravel parking, cable TV, bathhouse, store, LP gas, clean and quiet, well operated.

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

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!

Beware of your billing. They will over charge you. Just a FYI to my camping friends. We are staying at Sun Outdoors Panama City Beach. While it’s a beautiful place with lots of amenities, don’t pay extra for the LOCK SITE. We have had a reservation for over 6 months and paid the Lock Fee for Site 73. We cancelled one night on the end of our stay within there guidelines. Julie, THE MANAGER, sent us an updated bill. She increased the lock fee to$50, increased the price of each night stay AND CHANGED OUR SITE. When I called her she did cancel the site lock fee and corrected the price per night but told us SITE 73 is under construction and she had to switch a lot of people around because of it. We get here and Site 73 is not under construction and she gave it to someone else. I sent her a message and ask her why she did that and she won’t respond. BEWARE OF YOUR CHARGES AT THIS PARK. UPDATE: She issued us 10% credit for not getting the Site we chose that she moved us. THE POINT IS YOU ABSOLUTELY LIED AND DID NOT FOLLOW YOUR RULES AND POLICY. This park was EMERALD COAST RV RESORT in Panama City Beach at 1957 Allison Ave. SUN OUTDOORS took it over.

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.

Brand new but like a RV park

Seems secluded even though along Hwy 98. Pretty, wooded sites. Many align the 3 ponds in the park. There is a gazebo/ dock over one of the ponds where you can sit and relax. Turtles come up to the dock begging for something to eat. We went to Walmart just to buy proper turtle food. It was a lot of fun to watch and feed them. There is also a community fire pit, horseshoes, swimming pool, and shuffleboard. An open field serves as a place for dogs to run. There is even an outdoor dog wash. The sites are gravel and quite level. Full hook-ups. There is a cement pad for the picnic table. Some sites have a small screen house for the table. Laundry and restrooms are clean and nice. The beach is about a 10 minute drive away. There is plenty of shopping and restaurants closer, but would avoid walking due to traffic on Hwy 98. Do not attempt to check-in early as a $25 fee will be added to your bill. We were told to park just outside the office for 20 minutes until time to check-in, although we were also told our site was ready. This seemed a little unnecessary. My only complaint is the staff seemed a bit “standoffish” with any of our interactions.

If you are traveling without kids stay at the East Coastline RV park. It was so nice! 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! The pool was wonderful and the clubhouse amazing! You can cook a dinner in the clean kitchen. I liked it because it was a smaller park and there weren't any kids running around. The other coastline West RV park had a lot of families and was bigger. I would stay here again and next time for more than 2 nights! And one of the best things about the park is the view of the bay! Get a spot up front so you can watch the dolphins!

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.

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.

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.
