St. Joseph Peninsula State Park suffered significant damage from Hurricane Michael, roads, utilities and several facilities were destroyed and are not accessible. It will be some time before camping or cabins are available. For more information contact the park office at 850-227-1327.
The great thing is you've never seen a more beautiful ocean water
No algies just wild life and shells
No pets on the beach though, that's a drag I have a 4 pound dog 😟
No heat in the bathrooms so it's cold when taking a shower 🥶
Other than that, I love it there
Clean and all new facilities

This place is wonderful. S
Se stayed at the cabins and they were awesome! Clean and very well equipped. The only thing I think needs some help is the fire pit and small private beach area. There’s no path cleared out to the fire pit or beach. So it was hard to enjoy these areas at night. But that’s a small thing when compared to all the great things there are to love here. Beautiful, clear water, white sandy beaches! What else can you ask for?
Five years after hurricane damage. Everything is brand new. 40 mixed sites. Two have screened porches. About half full hook-up. Rock pad camping. Two new bathhouses. Two sets of washer dryers ($1.50/$1.00 deal). You have intimate location with gulf beach which is starkly beautiful, due to prior weather damage. Saw two bald eagles and two white tail deer. 6 to 8 cabins just north of campground, are essential air conditioned 3 story homes, with opposite bay views. They seem very high end from outside. Only major downside of the park is its remote location, 30 min from Pt. St. Joe, 90 minutes from Panama City. I can see the nickname, forgotten coast. Will definitely revisit, expect reservations will quickly become scarce.
Clean, friendly & the best of best. Staff roared cleaning the bathrooms. They were immaculate & the people staying on the grounds did great to clean up after themselves. The November trip was the best Nov we stayed with mild temps - sunny & calm bay, peninsula and gulf. Affordable to enter & plenty of staff around for assistance. We kayaked the low & high tide. Saw dolphins playing and went under my husbands kayak & saw wildlife swarm below and above. Hurricane Michael in 2018 did damage but it’s rebounding like it w always does. We waded out super far from sandy shore- then it drops way out to about 35 ft . The beach side had yellow flags and lady fish were everywhere and little seagulls swooped in. Husband fished right off water and caught/released several . Been going 20 years, still our fav but this was one of our favorites. Keep it clean and enjoy!!
