My County health department inspector told me this spring that he had just started RV'ing with a travel trailer and had been to Presnell's Bayside Marina & RV Resort on 30A south of the town of Port St. Joe and was pleased with his stay. Google reviews are all pretty good too. Be sure and visit the lighthouse.

The State Park is rather popular and mostly full other than an odd day or two here or there. If you need to boondock, drive to Apalachicola and as you approach the US98 bridge over the bay, take the last right before going up the ramp to the bridge (Columbus St) then a quick left on 4th st/High st/Market st/Water st, same street, four names, this takes you to the boat ramp and a large grass field commonly used for boondocking, Battery Park.

If you need a campground continue on across the bay bridge and continue East on 98 thru Eastpoint and about a mile out of town on the left is Coastline RV Campground and just a few hundred feet further down is Coastline RV Resort (much nicer) both same owners, have been spending lots of money on improvements.

Same web site for both of them. This is on the bay, so no beach, but a short drive out to the island.
El Jalisco Eastpoint Mexican Restaurant does a very good breakfast, along with the Mexican lunch and dinner. Nice folks.
Drive out to St George Island, don't forget to check out the Lighthouse, day trip at the state park. Just before you head out to the island on the left is Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve Nature Center, which has some real neat displays. If you have kids with you, don't miss it.
