Stories from the community

5 nights at 30A Bay Hideaway

Private and peaceful spot. Great place to relax and enjoy the bay.

Weekend Trip to Twisted Trails Camping

We just say for one night on our way to St. Andrews state park, and we had a great night of sleep. Full hookups. Nice and clean. Thank you!

4 nights at Maggie's Musical Farm

Spacious, basic, and quiet, with occasional road noise. Very natural environment with trees and a small orchard, access to potable water to rinse and drink. Wooden fence around property, we felt very safe! Lighted and clean port a potties and 2 wonderful hot showers. Detached kitchen with power outlets and fridge a super plus! The most incredibly warm and welcoming hosts ever, Maggie and Mike are very responsive hosts, and gave us excellent advice and suggestions for our nearby explorations, they made us feel at home. Beaches between 40-60 min away depending on which beach.

Weekend Trip to 30A Bay Hideaway

Love camping on the bay. Everything is always well-kept and just as pictured. We really enjoy kayaking, bird watching, fishing,… we used a cast net to catch our own bait and caught fish off the dock. We saw crabs, stingrays, and even a gator swimming by this year. The sunrises and sunsets are great. This is one of our favorite places to camp. Thanks for sharing your great place!

5 nights at Sand Between Your Toes

This is our second time staying at this property in the last year and a half in Robin our 32 foot Class C Jayco. There is a very large fence around the property for complete privacy from surrounding neighbors. We always bring our ebikes with us so we can visit our kids at a local resort property on the beach 2 miles away. Public beach access is less than one mile away. If we needed groceries, Publix is 1.1 miles away. There is sidewalk access everywhere including some local restaurants. Brian is a great host and always quick to respond to any questions we have. Thanks again Brian!!

Weekend Trip to Panama City Beach RV Resort

This Panama City RV site was just what we needed along our road trip! The sites were super clean, as were the bathrooms and showers. We easily walked to the beach across the street, check in was easy and the folks were all really nice!

5 nights at Sand Between Your Toes

This camp is very private and quite. We enjoyed our time here. It's close to the beach and restaurants. I would come back if I visit the area again. Thanks Brian !

2 nights at Maggie's Musical Farm

nice spot. the hosts were great! ..................

Weekend Trip to Sand Between Your Toes

place was easy to find, has everything you need, and in a quiet area very close to the beach!! would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a more private stay.

1 night at Maggie's Musical Farm

I had the site to myself so that was a treat. The location was easy to find and super private. Enjoyed the hot shower and the stars at night were unreal! Thanks to Maggie for having me & I will return for some music during the season 🙏🏼

Weekend Trip to Sand Between Your Toes

This was a great spot, close to everything the world’s most beautiful beaches has to offer, yet far enough away to have a nice peaceful rest. Brian was very kind and quick to respond to any questions that we had. Host provided and nice little book with everything you needed to know about the property as well as restaurant recommendations along with menus. We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again!

Weekend Trip to Maggie's Musical Farm

Welcoming and friendly host/very pleasant grounds.

Weekend Trip to Wildcat Creek Educational Ctr

We had a wonderful time! Mr. Bill offered us several spots to pitch our tent and we chose right next to the creek so we could hear the water through the night. And it was fabulous. We heard Chuck-Wills-Widows singing along with the creek cooing while we relaxed by the fire. It was a short walk to the bathroom but it was worth it. Mr. Bill was friendly but respectful of our time and space. He offered us a tour and coffee and we were happy to hang out and learn from him. His property is eclectic but for conservationists like us it is a delight! We will visit again for sure. I would recommend bringing extra lights to hang on the trees, we had a few and it was super helpful finding our way in the dark.

7 nights at 30A Bay Hideaway

This is our fourth year visiting The Bay Getaway. Our grandchildren love coming each year to kayak, catch little crabs in the shallows, climb up onto the treehouse, and run and play on the huge lawn. We love the birdwatching, the beautiful sunsets, the quiet, and the privacy of this spot to give us a safe environment for visiting with our grandkids. Love this place!

1 night at Maggie's Musical Farm

Fantastic place with a cool history. Definitely worth the visit and very reasonably priced.

1 night at Maggie's Musical Farm

Sweet piece of land with an outbuilding that serves as a ready-made kitchen. Portapotty (2) very clean. Didn’t use showers, but saw everything you’d need to feel refreshed. A safe, easy-to-reach space to camp while seeing area (panama city beach). Maggie, the host, is welcoming and genuine. she

1 night at Maggie's Musical Farm

Wonderful location, great hosts. Bring an instrument.

Weekend Trip to Maggie's Musical Farm

Good comfortable place to spend the night. I can tell it would be so cool with the music! With the help of ear plugs I was able to forget about the road noise, and get some rest. Thanks M&M!

4 nights at Sand Between Your Toes

Nice quiet lot with full hookups. Not far from the beach and on the safer end of Panama City. Owners provided firewood which was a nice touch. Owners were friendly but not over bearing. Would definitely come again.

5 nights at New Deer Point Lake Front RV Pad

Loved the view. The cottages were full the whole time, but we still felt like we had the whole site to ourselves. It is out from the hustle and bustle, but still close to everything you need. One of the neighbors has dogs, but they only barked when someone pulled up. I didn't get to catch a 27 lb bass because the wind would not cooperate, but i feel like a record breaker is in there somewhere. Sadly I did not see any alligators.. lol

Mike & Maggie bought this beautiful property 40 years ago. Their house, The Cracker Shack, is 100 plus years old and is the second generation home of the Gainer family who settled the Econfina area in the 1820's. It's made of heart pine and the fireplace was carved from the limestone in Econfina Creek.

30A Bay Hideaway

1 site · RV1 acre · Miramar Beach, FL

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!
