FL Panhandle Campground Suggestions Wanted

There is nothing to do at St Joe except the beach to swim or fish and st joes bay to fish and collect shells and things or just hang around the campground. Just like someone else said make sure you have plenty of bug spray and groceries it is a little bit of a ride to a grocery store

Check out Camp on the Gulf or Camp Gulf (listed both ways) in Destin Fl. they have weekly and monthly rates. Thr CG is on the beach, nice and close to shopping. Did I say it is on the BEACH. no crosing streets or boardwalks.
Already have my spot for Sept. 2015. for the month. There ie three tier pricing on sites depends on where you can get a spot.

Be sure to eat at Peg Leg Pete's!

That's a good call. Its only about a 200 yard walk to the beach from the A loop. I can't speak to the other loops as I've never stayed in them.

Oh...and Peg Leg Pete's isn't very good IMO.

We first stayed at Fort Pickens in 1962 when it was a state park. We were tent campers then. Since then we have been back so many time I can't keep track. I can say almost exactly the same thing about St. Andrews State Park at Panama City.

At our stage of life there is little to prefer one above the other, but with children (especially teens or pre-teens) St. Andrews might be the better choice because there are all kinds of "beach attractions" just a few miles away. At Fort Pickens there is a nine mile drive just to get back to Pensacola Beach.

These beaches from Gulf Shores, AL to Panama City, FL are among the best beaches in the entire world in my opinion.

I recently learned of this place and it's definitely on my bucket list to camp directly on the beach. :)

I'll second Camp Gulf in Destin. There are sites directly on the beach, but you can't have a pet, and they don't have sewer. There's a dump truck that comes by for a fee. There are other sites not directly on the beach, and these have FHU and are pet friendly. Pricey, but nice.

Maybe it's the Margarita that makes me THINK it's good! LOL

Panama City Beach Resort is nice, so is Campers' Inn in Panama City Beach, they are down the street from each other, and both are across the street from the Beach. Campers' Inn is a Good Sam resort.

We stayed at Carrabelle Beach RV Resort, Carrabelle, FL in February 2012 for a month. Except for the chilly, rainy weather (not their fault), it's an exceptional spot. A lovely, dog friendly beach right across the street from the resort; a nice pool; beautifully landscaped and helpful staff. Check it out on rvparkreviews.com - it gets very high marks.

Fam Camp in Panama City near Tyndell base is nice if you are retired Military or have a relative that can get you in. Camped there several years ago and it is really nice. Things for kids to do such as putt-putt golf, horseshoes ect.
