The campsite near the beach offers a convenient and relaxing experience with its close proximity to the ocean, friendly neighborhood, and full camper hookups. Visitors appreciate the ample space, quiet surroundings, and easy access to local amenities, making it ideal for both short and extended stays. However, some guests noted challenges with the uneven pad and sewer hookups, particularly for larger RVs. Despite minor setup issues, the location and amenities, such as the outdoor shower and laundry facilities, consistently receive positive feedback.

The site was exactly what the ad listed! Very large site with full hook ups including a residential washing machine. There were multiple drying lines with clothes pins to air dry anything needed.
You are essentially right between Mexico Beach and Port St Joe so plenty to see and do. But the best part is being within walking distance to the beach with public access straight to the water!
We will definitely look into staying here again for our next trip to the area!

Perfect campsite!
22 ft travel trailer · With pets
My family and I loved camping here! The site is very spacious, quiet, and private. We had no issues getting into the site and were able to hook up to everything in no time at all. The sunsets were amazing! Having wifi and a washing machine was a very nice perk. The proximity to the beach was awesome and having the outdoor shower to rinse the sand off was very convenient. We would absolutely stay here again. It was myself and three teenagers with pets and I felt extremely safe staying here. I have a 21 foot camper and had more than enough room.

Always the best at Rum Runner
35 ft travel trailer · With kids
Third trip to Eum Runner did not disappoint. Weather was windy but that helped to move the clouds away. Leila has upgraded the water spigot and added a shower. Things were just as it should be. We anticipated the height of the sewer pipe so we brought an elevated sewer hose adapter. They were building a new home across the street In. the previously empty lot but the construction and painters were super nice. Make sure you park about 7 feet away from the fence to get the best leveling. It still gives plenty of room to picnic space. We'll be back soon ! : D

We really enjoyed our stay here! The location and proximity to the beach are fantastic! It was nice having a good sized place for our two dogs to hang out and the neighbourhood felt very safe and friendly. The only thing we wish we knew about ahead of time was the house being built next door. Made for a lot of noise every day.

This year, we stayed at Rum Runner for 6 weeks instead of our usual 4. It was great! The last week was very busy with Spring breakers but the rest of the time, the beach was quiet and peaceful. We love staying here!

We have stayed at Rum Runner for 3 weeks over the last two years. The location is a quiet neighborhood and close to the beach. It is a block off of Hwy 98, so you don't hear the traffic. We will be back again !

Short walk to beach!!!
20 ft travel trailer
Really enjoyed this spot. We were passing through for a few days and needed to be in between friends that were located in PCB and apalachicola. It’s walking distance from public beach, great food/ Dollar General/Ace Hardware near by and very quiet at night. I mirror what others have said about unevenness of Pad and sewer hookups being a bit high. Probably only challenging for those of us with smaller travel trailers. Having two water supply hookups, 50,30,20 amp electrical hookups and this awesome shed with RV accessories extras, a washing machine, chairs, table, hoses, etc. makes up for any of the small site inconveniences. Can’t wait to stay here in the spring/summer so we can really enjoy the area. We recommend this spot and the host was great, instructions were great and communication was timely. Thanks for a great stay!

Travel trailer camping with pets
22 ft travel trailer · With pets
Leila’s spot was great. We loved that it was only a block from the beach. The shed storage and laundry machine was helpful- especially because of the humidity and moisture over night. It was hard to get clothing dry without a dryer. (We used a laundromat in town) The black tank hook up was not threaded to secure a connection but it still worked. Red tide was high while we were there.
Overall it was a beautiful spot just steps away from a beautiful dog friendly beach. We loved the location and so did our pets. Would recommend!

Walking distance to the beach!
30 ft travel trailer · Group trip
Our family loved the proximity to the beach and to the Shipwreck Oyster Bar-walking distance to both. Having access to a washing machine was such a great bonus-saved us from having a bunch of dirty laundry to deal with when we got home from our trip. And having WiFi was great for our student that is enrolled in a summer class. Nice large site. Being a block off the main road and July 4th weekend, it was surprisingly quiet.

Corner Paradise

Corner paradise one block from the beach. Well maintained, concrete slab with full hook ups (30 & 50 Amp) plus WIFI (great for remote work). Short walk to the beach and a DG store. Make sure you visit the Ship Wreck restaurant, you wont be disappointed. Outdoor shower and washer are available. Easy access in and out. Motion sensor lights for convenience. Very nice location and will definitely stay there again.

One of the best locations we've st
38 ft travel trailer · With kids
Personally we loved it! Short walk to the beach, to shipwreck and a bike ride to store. The site is pretty level but does require some manipulation. Theres 2 water spigots both located at the front of the camper (a 25ft hose should suffice but a 50 would get it done.) Power is located at the rear as well as the septic hook up. Make sure to bring septic hose support so you can fix the slight incline.
Grass perfectly mowed, storage buikding on site made putting stuff out of sight easier and a washing machine to stay ahead of the laundry.
Neighbors are fantastic and it made us feel a little easier knowing they were around.
We highly recommend the site and will absolutely be back soon.

Absolutely, the site is convenient to the beach and restaurant. It's a wonderful community and everyone is really friendly. The wifi works great. If parking your Rv aim for the middle of the driveway so you're closer to level and bring something to elevate your sewer hose. It's perfect for us, Thanks Leila!

Very private & close to beach
38 ft travel trailer · With pets
Overall we had a great experience! Close to the beach! Wi-Fi was great! Bring extra sewer pipe. The pad is very unlevel on the fence side like 4". They have a 4 by 4 we used. It took a hour to set up. Be sure and eat at killer seafood it was brick and morter before hurricane now food truck but still fantastic.

Hate to leave a GREAT REVIEW but...

I almost hate to leave a great review because this large lot may not be available next time we want it. This is the 2nd time that we have stayed here for a month and we just love being just a block off the beach. You can walk down every night for a sunset. Our 38ft class A just fits, the large washer in the shed is awesome and Palm trees swaying in your residential lot that you share with NO ONE! ❤️

Just a block from the beach! We loved it.
Just be careful where you park on the side of the road to get to the beach, the sand is super soft and you'll get stuck like we did! Had to call a tow truck ($100 out the window 🥴).

We loved the location! Short walk to a beautiful beach. The site itself has some issues. We have a 37ft Class A and didn’t fit on the (broken) concrete pad which made leveling difficult. The sewer hookups were too far back and too high off the ground. Undecided if we’d stay here again; would look for better options first.

Great Location, Great Experience
26 ft travel trailer · With kids
Great neighborhood so close to the beach! We enjoyed riding bikes with our kids around the neighborhood and even down to the Memorial Park. Easy, quick bike ride to Dollar General down Americus Ave. off the busy road. We also enjoyed Shipwreck Oyster Bar literally two blocks away. The washer onsite was a nice bonus, and my daughter enjoyed her first experience hanging clothes on the line to dry. The storage shed is a little close to the camper pad but it does offer some extra shade. We were prepared with extra hose after reading reviews on here, so the distance to the water spigot wasn’t a big deal. It was missing the “handles” so we had to turn it on with pliers. Not a big deal for us. The big yard was great for our dog. The walk to the beach was quick and easy, and we did end up purchasing a beach wagon, which we should have done years ago! There were even extra chairs and beach toys in the shed. Leila was quick to respond to all our questions. I would be prepared with all sorts of insect repellent and a fly swatter because the biting flies were an issue both at the beach and the campsite. I think it’s just par for the course for the time of year. It was a great trip, great location, and we would stay there again!

Perfect Place for Our Beach stay
35 ft travel trailer · With pets
Rum Runner site is very convenient to beach access with just a little walk and cross over the road to the beach. Beach is awesome and very clean and unpopulated. We threw everything in our wagon,no big deal at all
The neighborhood is quiet and safe and the site is just two blocks over and one block behind The Shipwreck Oyster Bar.
We rode our bikes to dinner two nights of our stay. The site is paved but the pavement is a bit uneven so bring extra leveling blocks. The property is nicely grassed. We have a 35' TT with three slides and it fit perfectly and we were able to put out the awnings out as well with no space issues. The sewer and electric is on one side near the back and the water is near the front on both sides. It has 50/30/120 hookups. An outdoor shower and clothesline for drying towels. The water hookup on the drivers side had broken handle so we couldn't turn it on - we just used the one on the other side. The site is located btwn Port St Joe and Mexico Beach and is convenient to everything you need. The beach is dog friendly so our pups enjoyed their time as well. It was a perfect place to stay for our trip to the beach!
p.s. there is a small storage building w a washer and extra beach supplies if needed.

Great location, just one block to the beach. Sewer and electric on the back end of the driveway and will be directly behind your rig. Might need the black hose cradle to slope your hose as the sewer hook up is a bit elevated. Metal shed to store you beach chairs and what not. Sturdy clothes line with lots of room for beach towels and blankets. Friendly neighborhood!

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Rum Runner on Leila’s land. The distance to the beach was about a block from the site, and it was an easy walk to the ocean. The lot was clean and had enough space to set up yard games or other activities. It would have been nice to have an outdoor table with chairs when the weather was nice to sit outside. It was extremely hot, so not having an outdoor table didn’t impact our stay. All the hook ups were easily accessible.
We would definitely plan to stay again if we ever end up in the area.

We had a great time! The location is good, 1 block from the beach and very quiet. The only thing we didn't like is there was NO shade anywhere! None! We were baking in the sun all day till the end of the day when the sun moved over in the early evening! So bring cover! You'll need it.
