RV by the Sea

4 ReviewsAdd Review

This private campground provides two RV sites with full hookups directly on Cape San Blas beach, about 10 miles from the nearest grocery store and restaurants. Reservations are available for the $150 nightly rate, and the sites accommodate large rigs up to 40 feet with room for a towed vehicle.

The proximity to the Gulf creates constant ocean sounds that mask road noise from the nearby street. Campers park just steps from the beach where dogs can chase crabs and families collect shells along the shoreline. The exposed location offers no wind protection, which reviewers note can pose challenges during storms. Sand becomes unavoidable, so bringing outdoor rugs helps manage the fine particles that drift into camping areas.

Sites include picnic tables and fire pits, though the sewer connection may require some digging to access near the water hookup. "Cape San Blas is secluded," observes Joel P., reflecting the area's distance from major services. A well-stocked general store provides basic supplies for campers who need to fill gaps in their provisions.

The location works well as a base for fishing, with young anglers reportedly catching small sharks from the beach. Plan meals in advance given the remote setting, and consider the seasonal wind patterns when booking your stay.

Campers regularly cited the exceptional beachfront location and spacious sites as major draws. Great hosts and full amenities enhanced the experience, though some road noise was noted alongside the compensating ocean sounds.

Right on the beach

This site was great and right on the beach. It is close to the road but you’ll hardly notice. The Host was great and was very accommodating. The only negative was we had to dig up the sewer connection which is right by the water hookup.
2 warnings the site has no shelter from the wind and a storm could damage your Rv which happened to us and bring a good rug for the outside because you’ll get sand everywhere.

Fantastic spot

This spot was plenty big for our 40’ Class A and toad. RIGHT ON THE BEACH! You do get some road noice, but to us being right on the beach offset that. It has full hookups, picnic table and fire pit. We will definitely try to come back as we love Cape San Blas.

Literally right on the beach

Small site. There are two hookups there, so if you have a neighbor it’ll be a little tight. However, you’re so close to the beach, that white noise from the ocean will give you plenty of privacy.

We stayed in November so it was cool. But still great. We slept with the windows open. It was glorious.

The dogs had a great time chasing crabs on the beach and my daughters were able to find several perfect sea shells.

We had an amazing time. Cape San Blas is secluded. You’re about 10 miles from a grocery store and restaurants (we planned meals). But there is a general store that is surprisingly well stocked. It doesn’t have everything, but it’s got the things you might need to fill out any missing staples from your pantry.

We loved it. Will stay again.

Hello Joel,

Thank you for the great review! We appreciate it! And so you know, it used to be 2 spots but we only rent out 1 of the spots. The city will only allow 1 RV on the spot. Thanks for sharing your amazing pictures. Looks like a great time had by all!

Come back again soon!

Best Regards,

Amazing spot!

Amazing location! Super great hosts, the site is very spacious and close to the beach (right over the dune). The shells at Cape San Blas were plentiful and the fishing was even more fun as our 6 year old caught 2 baby sharks here. We will definitely be back to this hidden gem. We had an amazing time and can’t wait to go back!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you park RVs by the sea at St. Joseph campgrounds?

Yes, RV by the Sea offers prime oceanfront RV camping at Cape San Blas in the St. Joseph area. The campground has full hookup sites that accommodate large RVs, including 40' Class A motorhomes with towed vehicles. The location is literally right on the beach - just over the dune from the ocean - allowing you to enjoy the sound of waves while camping. There are two hookup sites available, though they can be somewhat close together when both are occupied.

Where can I rent a motorhome near St. Joseph?

While RV by the Sea itself doesn't offer motorhome rentals, you'll need to check with RV rental companies in nearby larger towns. Port St. Joe, Panama City Beach, and Tallahassee are good places to inquire about motorhome rentals that could be used to camp at Cape San Blas. National rental chains like Cruise America or online peer-to-peer rental platforms may have options available. Contact the campground hosts for recommendations on reliable local rental services that offer vehicles suitable for their sites.

Are pop-up camper rentals available in St. Joseph?

Pop-up camper rentals aren't directly available at RV by the Sea campground. For pop-up rentals in the St. Joseph area, check with outdoor recreation shops and RV dealerships in Port St. Joe and surrounding communities. Local outdoor outfitters sometimes offer camping equipment rentals including pop-up campers. The campground can accommodate various RV types, but be aware that the site is exposed to wind with no shelter, which may be a consideration for pop-up campers. Always call ahead to confirm pop-up compatibility with the campground hosts.
