Panama City Beach campsite...How mucchh???

Hey all,

Myself and my wife have just bought a pop up camper, preparing for our epic US road trip in April 2019.

Im sure i will pop up with different destinations, but were struggling with PCB. Were looking towards free and $20. Checking google it seems tough to get under $40.

Any Suggestions? even close by that we can drive into PCB the next morning.

Thanks in advance for any help.

    Try a little farther south at St. George Island State Park. Loved it. Only a few people on the beach. Only bad was the mosquitoes. It is away from tourist area.

    ST Andrews state park is one of our favourite parks ever. I think it is around 30$ per night, but well worth it.

    Check out St. Andrews State Park in Panama City. I want to say I paid around 25 bucks a night last time I stayed there. Sites have water and electric. You can get some on the water and others in the shade. Actually, most of the sites are in the shade which is rare on the gulf coast.

    You are looking at a very popular, tourist site and lots of people are wanting to camp there. If you are wanting cheap, you need to look further from the "destinations".
