Weekend Trip to Dead Lakes RV Park and Campground

I've stayed here twice now and I will say under the new management it is a complete 180 from last time. The park is actually kept up with. They were having a farmers market when we showed up. It is super quiet and priced fair. Only issue is they double booked my spot but they had it taken care of within minutes.

Had another great night of star gazing on Kelsey’s land. It’s almost Halloween so it was nice of her to greet me at the gate.

10 nights at Bayside Bungalow

This was the perfect spot! Covered pole barn to keep you out of the rain and a super nice screened room. Fenced in area was perfect for the dogs. Perfect location between the beach and town.

1 night at Waterfront Full Hookup Campsite

Better than expected. The view overlooking the water was amazing, with beautiful sunrises and sunsets that made it worth every penny. The spot was clean, quiet, and easy to set up. The shower house was small but well kept. Bring a 30 to 50 amp adapter as it states in the listing. Great stay, would definitely come back.

7 nights at Bayside Bungalow

This pole barn camping spot is in a great location half way between Port St Joe and Cape San Blas. It’s large enough for almost any RV or camper. Full hookup, a screened porch, and one of the best features is that there’s a pay ice machine right beside it that also has filtered water…$3 for 20 pounds of ice, and .25c for a gallon of water. Lindsey is very responsive, and a joy to correspond with. We will certainly stay here again!

Weekend Trip to Maggie's Musical Farm

Maggie & Mike are wonderful camp host. They are the friendliest, most helpful, kindest amazing people that we were blessed to meet. They ended up being the unexpected highlight, instead of an overnight stop over, towards our destination. Home is where the heart is and Maggie’s Musical Farm is an all warm embracing heart, a sanctuary for the soul.

2 nights at Retroville 1960s Drive In Rv Park

Retroville was exactly what we were looking for as we made our way down home from a two week road trip. First off Dowlin and Denese are amazing hosts! They were so friendly and welcoming, great communication throughout, and gave us all the information we needed to make the best out of our short stay. We loved the retro style of their welcome center, nostalgic toys, newspapers, pictures, and decor. We were close to all the hot spots along 30A and the site was quiet and clean. We will definitely be back

Easy to get into for sure. Plenty of room, even for a rig with big slides. Very quiet place. We really enjoy it every time we go.

5 nights at Bayside Bungalow

Our family of five, along with two dogs absolutely loved this location! Although it's not directly on the beach, it's close enough to to enjoy everything and peaceful. During storms that passed through the covered spot was perfect to keep our RV safe and the corn hole was an enjoyable amenity as well! We only wish our stay could have been longer. The only issue we ran into was eating out on Sunday evening in the area, most things are limited and close early, so we drove into Panama City to eat out with family as we just arrived and didn't feel up to cooking. Mexico Beach was our go to beach spot. We enjoyed the light house on St. George Island and got way more sun than we should have. Thank you again for your gracious hospitality! Would recommend 10/10 to anyone looking for something out of the hustle and bustle of PCB.
