What a wonderful Campground!! We enjoyed sitting front row right across from St. George Bay (Best View Ever) there was a constant breeze and the sunsets were amazing!

We enjoyed sitting front row right across from St. George Bay (Best View Ever) there was a constant breeze and the sunsets were amazing! Lots of amenities, heated pool, corn hole, volleyball, pickle ball. The private Restrooms/Shower Rooms were very nice and spotless! Laundry Room was very nice and clean. It has 8 washers & 8 dryers $3 each. They also have several nice Rental Cabins available. Conveniently located near the lovely, quaint little town of apalachicola Bay and across the bay from Beautiful St. George Island. We really enjoyed our stay and we look forward to our next visit to Coastline RV Resort ❤️

I've traveled the whole country for the past year and a half. I prefer boondocking in remote places and don't really enjoy campgrounds but I do book them to reset, clean, dump, fill, laundry, etc. I've stayed in all kinds of campgrounds and luxury RV resorts.

This was my favorite campground so far and it wasn't even close. I stayed 7 nights and I actually don't want to leave haha! Everything is super clean, beautiful bathroom and shower facilities, staff is very friendly and helpful, the sites are big, level, and many have lovely water views. The price was very reasonable. I will definitely be back! Thank you!

Stayed here 8 nights at the west park The staff was amazing! So friendly. Danny, Mark, Misty and Billy were so nice. When we arrived our hydraulics didn’t work so we couldnt access the majority of our RV. Went to get ice but the office was closed (the only negative thing about the park is their limited office/store hours) Stop at the host RV and Misty contacted Mark who brought us a bag of ice. Ab...

Above and beyond customers service. The park is very clean. The spaces are not tight. The pools are well maintained as is everything we encountered. Close to nice beaches at St. George Island. Several restaurants within 15 minutes (Try the Blue Parrot on St George Island). We would definitely stay here again

Our favorite getaway! This place is always pristine. We love the restaurant (Fatdaddy's), which is practically on-site. A beautiful drive from Tallahassee.

Nice RV campground, well kept level gravel sites. Big rig friendly. Excellent staff. Lovely view of the water. Nightly price is fairly high but justified for what you get. Clearly the nicest campground in the area
