Incommunicado Gulf Front

4 sites · RVs1 acre · Port St. Joe, FL
My wife and I stayed on this very spot in January 2020 and fell in LOVE with it!  Being relative newbies to RVing, we wanted something private but also wanted a beach front vacation without spending 5K for a house.  So, we decided to start searching.  Turns out, there isn't a whole lot of RV hookup spots right on the beach.  But, we ran across this lovely privately owned gulf front lot on Cape San Blas in Florida and stayed for a week that January.  We loved it so much we tried to book it again in May of that year, but it was of course booked the entire month.  So, we booked another spot and headed to the cape in May anyway.  We wanted to see our favorite spot again, so we drove by one day and low and behold, it was for sale.  We couldn't pass up an opportunity to own something we fell in love with so quickly, so we took the jump, and bought it!  And now, we can share it with all of you.  Treat yourself to a beach front vacation in your own "home" and enjoy the journey friends.  You only live once!   GULF FRONT! Yes, you have your own path directly to the beach along with outdoor shower to rinse of your day on the sand and then enjoy the grill and picnic area for your afternoon dinner with your group. This 1/2 acre private property gulf front and equipped with 30/50 amp service, water, sewer, trash pickup, an outdoor patio, grill and misting outdoor shower. Just bring your swimming suits you'll be set. Cape San Blas, FL is one of the most beautiful and laid back places you will visit. This property is located on Cape San Blas and is right on the water (gulf side).  The cape bike path you can take all the way to the state park and explore the entire cape and all it has to offer (22 mile round trip bike path).  Also, check out kayaking in the bay or horse-back riding on the beach! Salinas Park is just a stone's throw where you can enjoy picnics with the family walk out to the bay or even drive onto the beach (permit required).   The sleepy little towns of Port St. Joe and Appalachicola have so many great local restaurants and shops and you will love the laid back chill of these old Florida towns. If you've never taken your crew and camped right on the beach, then this is the place for you. Completely private lot with only private houses around on a sandy road and your own private beach access. Enjoy your stay!

George Island.

Camping near St George Island guide

Overview

St. George Island is a 28-mile-long barrier island off Eastpoint, Florida. Unlike similar Panhandle beach destinations, the St. George Island area is so undeveloped that its nickname is the Forgotten Coast. That’s great news for campers who come here to enjoy natural white sand beaches and azure Gulf Coast waters perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and boating. St. George Island visitors share the water with loggerhead turtles, dolphins, manatee, and a variety of tropical fish. Over 300 species of local and migratory birds utilize the island too, and morning shelling on the beach is top-notch, especially at Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island State Park.

Where to go

St. George Island Surrounds

St. George Island has wide white sand beaches and a handful of markets and restaurants in town to fuel your beach days. Kayak, canoe, and stand-up paddleboard rentals are available here for adventures on Apalachicola Bay or the Gulf. There are also fishing charters and tackle shops. Camping options are limited on the island, but nearby Eastpoint and Apalachicola make great basecamps for exploring St. George Island. Both cities have RV parks with full hookups and wifi.

 

Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island State Park

At the east end of St. George Island, the Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island State Park is a must-visit day trip or camping destination. This park features bluffs overlooking the Gulf, excellent stargazing, nature trails for both hiking and biking, and bird residents like brown pelicans, bald eagles, and plovers. The campground here has RV camping and tent camping sites with fire pits, picnic tables, and restrooms. Pavilions with grills are available to all park users. There is also primitive camping here at Gap Point that’s accessible via a 2.5-mile hike or kayak paddle.

 

Apalachicola River Wildlife and Environmental Area

For a break from the beach and a deeper wilderness experience, the nearby Apalachicola River Wildlife and Environmental Area has almost 100 miles of unpaved roads you can hike, bike, or horse ride. The park’s Paddling Trail System also has close to 100 miles of waterways for canoeing and kayaking. With over 250 types of wildflowers and 280 species of native birds, this WEA is a true subtropical wonderland. Primitive camping is available.

When to go

St. George Island camping is pleasant in the fall, winter, and spring. Summer is also doable, but campers should prepare for heat, humidity, and the possibility of rain during this time—summer campers may be most happy in a setup with a fan or AC. Folks traveling in the summer or fall hurricane seasons should keep an eye on the National Hurricane Center’s Atlantic forecast for advanced storm warnings.
