Hello, new van dweller here. Which of these would be best for someone in an Odyssey? Parking space options; But close to the beach? While I would love to stay on the beach, without an RV, don’t think it would be ideal.
Thank you!! We have a rooftop tent on the Jeep and looking for places to camp this fall!! We live in St Pete and love the gulf coast!!
Great Video as usual. I started viewing your best campgrounds for the week in January as well as your videos. Your reports and your viewers reports really hit the awesome campgrounds out there. I know for a fact because we have stayed at a lot of them already. I am making my list of the places we want to go and the best campgrounds to stay at while we are there for when my boyfriend retires in two years. It is a very long list and continues to grow. Your site has helped me so much for our future plans.
and I thank you so much for this. On this video we have already stayed at Padre Island National Seashore, St Joseph Peninsula State Park and St George Island State Park. Fort DeSoto County Park is on my list but we have not been able to secure a spot there yet. Now I have more Florida spots to add to my list. This summer our big trip is to Acadia National Park, Cape Cod, Shenandoah National Park and lots of places in between. I suppose I need to start submitting reviews when we find a great campground. Again, Thank You for your awesome site and your followers awesome reviews.
Is the Nile River salt water?
Got to figure out a tickler to look at your lists when planning travels.
Great Video!
Awesome video.
Thanks
Great stuff..as usual
Crocodile? Crocodile? Lost me!
I love beach camping. Since freeman park has changed their rules we can’t camp there in the summer. Any suggestions for the east coast beach camper?
Put price next time
way better than living there, "in a house", also how do you guys get groceries and food? This video sounds amazing and I look forward to doing something like this in the winter time.
Alligators; not crocs…..
Now I know why my sunrise/sunset pics don’t look so great lol Thanks for this tutorial Cinnamon, it was great.
That’s valuable information. Planning to visit beaches on 30A , Florida.I subscribed
You mede a nice video
We are headed to Gulf Shores St Park in May with the camper, we can’t wait! We are super excited to check out Alabama!
GREAT VIDEO! Heading to the gulf coast in our tiny camper for our maiden voyage in HOURS ! And we are totally winging it! Got gas for the generator!
Crocodiles or Alligators?
So you don’t go to the parks, you just regurgitate reviews.
Ok Florida
Your reading other peoples review? Heck I could have done that myself.
State Parks aren’t part of the Forest Service or are they?
I had no clue they were crocodiles in Florida I thought it was only gators I just learned something
Hey what’s up campendium just have a question if you don’t mind answering are all these beach sites free for boondocking specifically st George island, fort destoto & st joseph state park
Excellent information ❤️😎👍🎥🚌🎶🎬🌎 thanks for sharing and safe travels
ya right ft. desota 65 bucks plus a night
Awesome video! Always great seeing your work! Keep it going!
St. Joseph S. P. was absolutely my most favorite place on earth!!! Too bad it is gone!!!
Camp Gulf has a few sites right on the sand, but the majority are set back a bit, but still close to the water. It’s a very small RV Park and it’s crazy expensive. Expect to pay $100-200 per night and be prepared to put up with the $500,000 coach crowd. Of course you could just go down the street a bit and stay at Henderson Beach State Park for a fraction of the price. Topsail Hill and Greyton Beach State Parks are also nearby. All have water and electricity.
Really got nothing on Australia aye 🇦🇺
Another Florida beach campground on the Gulf you missed is Top Sail State Park. It has full hookups. Located between Ft. Walton Beach and Panama City Beach.
Sorry no thumbs up or down here. I don’t mind you using the reviews on the campendium site to make a list like this but tell use more about the campgrounds (which I don’t see on the Campendium web site either) and that would be facilities aka amenities, such as restrooms, showers, water, power, sewer, etc. A couple of these locations, you barely mention, let alone give details on.
Love your Videos !
………I need some good beach camping…..!!
By the ocean…on the gulf 🤪
Great idea on where to go!!
Odd question for you…. How long have you had an Airstream?
Update on Rutherford. Not dissing you or anything – just certain places have been overtaken by events – review from Josh Spurlock 1/2/21 "I’m sure it was beautiful before hurricane delta took it out. The roads are washed out such that you cannot get to the beach and all the builds and pavilions are scraped to the ground. We stayed off to the side of the main road coming in as it was getting dark when we arrived. Mosquitoes were thick as I’ve ever seen. Sunset was pretty though 🙂
St Joseph Peninsula State Park was destroyed by Hurricane Michael. It is now an island with no access.
Florida has gators not crocs
Bolivar Flats is usually the worst place you can set up the mosquitoes are awful you need to go about two to three miles farther down the beach where all the other RVs go
