    From full 50-amp RV hookups to bay front tent sites, and even primitive camping into the eight-mile seclusion of St. Joseph Peninsula State Park, Gulf County offers numerous opportunities to get outdoors.

    St. Joseph Peninsula State Park, with miles of white sugar sand and natural beauty, was selected as America's #1-Ranked Beach, in 2002, by Dr. Stephen Leatherman. Two diverse areas are available to tent and RV campers, Shady Pines and Gulf Breeze, offering guests 119 full-facility campsites with water and electricity. Eight cabins on the bay side offer alternative overnight accommodations. A boat ramp with overnight docking is available, and showers and restroom facilities are on site. There are multiple primitive camping options at the state park for youths, groups and individual campers.

    Dead Lakes Campground, in Wewahitchka, offers tranquil, yearround camping options. There are ten sites with electricity hookups and ten primitive sites. Pets are welcome for an additional $2 fee and a boat ramp is available.

    Indian Pass Campground is located at the tip of Indian Pass overlooking St. Vincent Island. Campers have cabin, primitive camping and RV camping options. The waterfront cabins sleep two to five people and feature kitchenettes. Amenities at Indian Pass Campground include an in-ground pool, bath house and general store.

    Presnell's Bayside Marina and RV Resort offers RV campers a place to park on a nightly, weekly or monthly basis. The campgrounds overlook St. Joe Bay. There are waterfront picnic areas and a shaded playground.

    Magnolia Lodge and RV Park is a quaint location directly on the Chipola River offering four RV sites with full 50- amp hookups and one duplex rental. There is a smoke house and ice available on site.
