As our first destination after starting as full time RVers, we were excited to get to Florida and be on/near the beach. We’d done a lot of research on options and there are several good RV parks in the area but we were very happy with the park we selected.
Location – This park is close to Carrabelle and about a 30 minute drive to Apalachicola. The BEST aspect of this park is that is literally across the street from a wonderful beach. The beach extends several miles to the east and is very wide. Local laws not only allow dogs on the beach but they can even be off leash (although our dogs are not ready for that adventure yet!). Anything you need can be found in Carrabelle including groceries at the IGA, various liquor stores and of course, the country’s smallest police station, a phone booth (never got a pic of that though!).
Layout of park – The park has pull throughs, back ins, pull ins and also some cabins. It is very well maintained with wood chips, shrubs and trees to help separate sites. All sites and roads are paved. Sites at the front and near the back are the most level whereas the ones in the middle were very angled to one side (bring blocks or something to help level out one side!)
Amenities – The park has a fenced dog run, nice laundry room and showers, activities room and lots of planned things going on. Cable was very good whereas WiFi was about what you’d expect. There is a beautiful pool and deck including covered area although it was too cool for us to use on this visit.
Other – Most folks were staying for the winter, having arrived around or just after the holidays and staying until spring. Everyone was SUPER friendly and welcoming, more than we had probably experienced anywhere else over the past year.
Personally we prefer this park over the others in the area. Coastline looked nice and is much closer to St. George Island and Apalachicola but there is not beach across the street and many of the sites are dirt/gravel. Ho Hum has it’s positives if you want no-nonsense park but again, it’s all dirt/gravel with little in the way of amenities.
