Private, gated waterfront estate on the shores of Choctawhatchee Bay. Close to the activities on 30A and the Gulf of Mexico (7 minutes) but secluded enough to feel like you have your own private piece of paradise with amazing sunset views. The bay is full of life: watch mullet jump, catch crabs, watch for dolphins and sting rays. If you enjoy fishing, try night fishing on the dock, too. Bay charters come to the waters around our dock on their excursions! If you bring a boat, Cessna Landing is just under 2 miles away with a very nice boat launch. Tie your boat to our dock for the duration of your visit. Boating, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing, swimming, sunset watching, bicycling and campfires are a few things to enjoy while at the 30A Bay Hideaway. Sunset viewing deck, bay beach/dock, fire pit and an outdoor shower and sink with hot water and an outdoor mini-fridge are included in the listing. Owners are not onsite during rental periods and the property is limited to one RV site so you can be sure you will have the property all to yourself!

Florala State Park
20. Florala State Park
State park 45mi from Santa Rosa Beach · 28 sites
Day-cationers, we found your Gulf getaway. Florala State Park is close enough to several major areas that you can come down here for a short-term getaway if need be, though campers are of course more than welcome. White sand beaches and water that has been deemed some of the cleanest in Alabama, creates a real allure for fishers and swimmers alike. Birders can keep an eye out for osprey and bald eagles, or just hike the beautiful winding trails. Swing by a historic Victorian mansion on your way out, or grab a bite to eat at one of the many Southern-style family restaurants. With a great location for a great getaway, what's not to like?

Great overnight stop. Can tell it would be a great spot to stop for awhile. Met at the entrance and after a couple of hours to see if I needed anything. Nice walking property. Clean wash house with everything you could need. Other very happy campers.

Maggie and Mike are spectacular hosts going to extra mile when you stay. They are musicians so I was fortunate enough to turn up when they had a concert on in their yard. The provided food and refreshments.
Very helpful and thoughtful people. We had great conversations about food and swapped a curry I made for some fresh honey from their hives.
Leto could go off leash and the site is easy to enter and exit. Would recommend staying here to anyone in the area.
Thank you.and see you again.

It was our first experience using Hipcamp, and we couldn’t have hoped for a better one.
We spent the evening around the fire with other campers, sharing stories, it was such a fun and memorable time.
We hope to come back again soon!

We always love staying at Gateway Trails! Suzette and Jay are the absolute best hosts and make it feel like our home away from home. The boondocking spot was an easy in and out for us and the bathroom/laundry room was so clean and nice! Can’t wait to come through and stay again!

Maggie’s Place was perfect. I met Maggie personally and she was so warm and inviting. I loved my stay and would definitely stay again. The bathrooms were wonderfully clean, and the little kitchen area was a great bonus for tent camping. If you’re looking for a neat, unique place to stay, this is it!

Excellent directions. Peaceful location. Ease of backing into the spot. We woke up, opened the door and listened to the doves and other birds singing while watching the sunrise and drinking our coffee.
Would definitely recommend!!

I stayed in Glamper 1 and had a good experience! Very close to the water, very cool natural shower and water spout, it’s definitely a little bit of an elevated camping experience compared to the average tent. It was peaceful, I felt safe, and overall I had a good experience.

Thanks to the Reviews here AND the quick Reply to my HipCamp message ~ booked an unexpected getaway. WHAT a great place to start the new year and experience the 1st full moon. The hosts were super accepting and accommodating of my late arrival. It's only an hour away to put your toes in the sand! And that sparkling clean, hot shower is a huge bonus after a day at the beach. Even got a guided tour of the property. Peaceful & private ~ perfection! The hosts' care for the campers promotes an obvious feel of community. CanNOT wait to go back in the spring!

Beautiful property! Fantastic view, Great location. We loved kayaking in the bay and visiting nearby state parks and beaches. The heated shower, outdoor sink, and level RV pad made camping easy! The owners were very responsive and helpful with some questions I had prior to arrival as well.. If we travel to the same area again, we would happily return to the Bay Getaway.

I loved tent camping at Maggie’s. Everything I would need was provided: hot shower, clean port-a-potty, and a partial kitchen. Maggie and Michael are the bests hosts I’ve met in my 5 months of traveling. I was met and shown around when I arrived. These two have great musical talents and a lot of stories that I really enjoyed and learned something from. I would absolutley stay here again and may even make it a must stop when in the area.

We've been sojourning here for almost five years. We drive our camper from Kansas City to the Everglades for the winter and stop here at the Bay Hideaway to and from to visit our six grandchildren that live in the area. It is a perfect Hideaway, with no 'stranger danger', a huge lawn to play on, a shallow bay for the kids to have fun catching crabs, a very long dock, a tree house, not to mention the quiet and the gorgeous views. I love the porch, and the trees and marsh for the excellent birdwatching. In the four days we were here this visit we saw over 15 types of birds including a Clapper Rail, a Bald Eagle, and lots of shore birds. Crystal and Nathan have been helpful and a pleasure to communicate with... very highly recommend staying here!
