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!

Star Hosts in Mexico Beach
Coastal camping near Mexico Beach with fishing guide
Overview
With its brilliant white sandy beaches, Florida’s Mexico Beach is an ideal setting for swimming, beachcombing, or simply relaxing on the shore. Because most of the Gulf of Mexico has a barren ocean floor, the Mexico Beach Artificial Reef Association has built up a system of artificial reefs, providing scuba divers with unique underwater areas to explore, surrounded by local fish. Traverse the sandy dunes and stunning blue-green waters of Cape San Blas, including St. Joseph Peninsula. Hike among swamps and pine forests at Apalachicola National Forest, the largest in the state. Or camp above the rolling bluffs at Torreya State Park overlooking the Apalachicola River. From primitive campgrounds to yurt glamping and RV parks with full hookups, Mexico Beach offers camping experiences like none other.
Where to go
T.H. Stone Memorial St. Joseph Peninsula State Park
Also known more simply as St. Joseph Peninsula, this state park on Cape San Blas is connected to the main Florida peninsula by a sliver of land. Near the small town of Port St. Joe, St. Joseph Peninsula boasts miles of pristine, white sandy beaches with pet-friendly vacation rentals. Nearby RV parks offer full 50-amp hookups, plus pull-through RV sites with gravel pads. Nature trails provide great opportunities for birdwatching, including gray catbirds, northern cardinals, bald eagles, and Carolina chickadees. Head into St. Joseph Bay for snorkeling, swimming, and kayaking, or fish for speckled trout, whiting, and scallop.
Apalachicola National Forest
At over a half-million acres, Apalachicola is Florida’s largest national forest and covers a diverse array of ecosystems, including swamps and longleaf pine forests. The natural environment opens up endless opportunities for hiking and horseback riding—keep those binoculars handy for spotting bobcats and woodpeckers. Campgrounds in the national forest allow for tent and RV camping, some with hookups. During general gun season, Mack Landing serves as a camp for hunting deer, turkey, and gray squirrel. (Always abide by local hunting regulations, including rules around state hunting licenses.)
Torreya State Park
Named for an extremely rare species of tree growing in the area, Torreya State Park is set upon rolling bluffs overlooking the Apalachicola River. Dubbed the “Mountains of Florida,” the scenic steephead ravine systems here are home to miles of challenging hiking trails. Among the animals that hikers may see along the way are Barbour’s map turtles, Florida black bears, and golden-crowned kinglets. Hike into one of the primitive camping areas or go glamping in the park’s 20-foot yurt with air conditioning and large screened windows. Tent and RV campsites feature water and electricity hookups, as well as shared showers and restrooms.
When to go
With its warm, sunny weather throughout the year, Mexico Beach, Florida is a year-round camping destination. The shoulder seasons of spring and fall aren’t nearly as hot and humid as the summer, and they attract fewer tourists, allowing for a more tranquil camping experience. Hiking and other outdoor activities can be more comfortable in this milder weather, too. Look for migratory birds during the fall and winter months. Many snowbirds (people coming from colder climates) flock to Mexico Beach in the winter, too, so be sure to book campsite reservations well in advance.
