Presnell's Bayside Marina and RV Resort

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Bayside on the Gulf Coast of Florida, Presnell's Bayside Marina and RV Resort sits along the water in Port Saint Joe, giving RV campers full hookups including electric, water, and sewer alongside direct bay access for kayakers and boaters. Sites vary considerably: oceanfront spots face open water with sunset views to the west, while inland sites get more shade but lose the water sightlines. Not every site has shade, so checking the campground map before booking pays off.

Cleanliness comes up consistently across reviews. The restrooms, laundry, and clubhouse are well maintained, and sites are kept in good order. Cell coverage is uneven. Verizon signal runs weak on-site, while AT&T tends to perform better. The WiFi is spotty enough that remote work is unreliable. There is no beach area or shore fishing, but the marina rents boats for those wanting to get out on the water.

One seasonal detail worth knowing: yellow biting flies are reportedly severe from April through June. Visiting outside that window makes a meaningful difference in comfort. Rates run $60 to $70 per night, which feels reasonable for waterfront sites but steep for sandy inland spots. Pets are welcome. Campers exploring the region can find campgrounds near Port St. Joe to compare options across the area, including Gulf Front @ the Cape to the south and Wild and Free Cape San Blas RV to the southwest. If a waterfront site is available, it's worth reserving early.

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.

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.

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.

Nice place - Def stay again!

Nice, clean, very friendly campground! Stayed on the water. Good access for kayaks. Pool is nice. Clubhouse is clean and well maintained, as are the sites. The only drawback is the tightness of the spots. Right next to your neighbors - but that’s just utilizing real estate. It’s going to be that way in Fl.

Nice Bayfront set up

It was a little pricey for a sandy site, but the facilities were super nice. Restrooms, laundry and club area were clean, modern and well equipped. The marina looked very nice and clean.
