Ho-Hum RV Park

Ho-Hum RV Park, Carrabelle, FL. $55ish with taxes and discount for a non waterfront FHU pull through site. My only complaint about this park is that is was just an overnighter for us and we should have stayed longer! On the water side of US98 near the historic town of Carrabelle, this is Old Florida beach vibe at its funky best. Super friendly staff, big clean laundry room, shower houses, fenced dog park, and a 250 foot fishing pier make this park the perfect place to just relax and enjoy the views. It’s right on the highway so a little bit of road noise but we still slept quite well. We would 100 percent stay here again, probably for a couple of weeks.

Our nightly rate is based on Tier C monthly rate. The only campground on bay side of Hwy 98 in this section of the Forgotten Coast. Sites are tight but that close to the water we didn't notice, we always had a view. There is highway noise but didn't bother us. This was our second long term stay and we are coming back next year.
As always Pat and the campground hosts were awesome.

Nice little park. Pretty much all rock. Some beach and a fishing pier. Easy in and out and not to much road noise. I wanted to stay another night due to storms in the area and they could accommodate me but I had to move spots. Now as I look around the park and see it half empty I see no reason for me to move spots. Dissatisfied with that so we jest stayed the 1 night. I can totally understand if it was busy or going to be busy. But for me to move while there’s plenty of spots doesn’t work for me.

The camp itself is a nice, pleasant and quiet place to spend a few days...the staff, not so much. They were "ok", but could be a bit surly and gruff. I actually made a game of it to try and get them to smile whenever I went into the office...I lost the game more than I won. I loved camping right on the water, even though the weather wasn't the greatest while we were there. It would have been nice if there was a bit more beach to walk along... I'd go back if in the area, not sure I'd go out of my way to return though, and probably not stay more than 2 to 3 days in the future.

Loved being right on the water at this campground! We were able to walk the dog on the beach for about a mile and my fiancé was able to toss in his fishing line right off the private Ho Hum dock! I am not an early riser but it was worth it for the sunrises! Sites are nice and level, rock and sand but hey you are at the beach! Our site was tucked in so no completely direct Gulf view but there were a good amount of sites that had unobstructed beautiful front views. Would stay here again and definitely book in advance for on of those!

This is a no frills park with a great location. T-mobile data was non-existant, but the premium wifi for $1.50 per day, was blazing fast. I wish this was an option everywhere - I will always pay for good data. To be on the water was nice, but it's not really much of a beach - more of a fishing destination.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The office/store is pretty bare, so come with everything you need. There's a small beer/ice/snack store about 1/4 mile down the road.

I checked out Ho-Hum last year when passing through and thought it would be a good place to finish up the winter before heading north. Who could have imagined Ho-Hum becoming a shelter-in-place stop for a good number of families? There were close to a dozen households who had their plans change or their stays extended for the entirety of April and well into May. It became a bit of a community as we got to know each other's names, dogs' names, and kids' names. Even while social distancing there was still a good bit of interaction.

It ended up being a very pleasant extended stay. None of the other guests ever had any complaints about the park or hosts that I heard. Overall, it was a very low key, laid back park. The last 3 weekends were, however, a bit different as lots of weekend campers starting showing up again. It made us appreciate the peace and quiet we had the rest of the time with the park usually less than half full.

Ho-Hum isn't big, and yes it is a gravel lot. BUT they have 3 different grades of gravel (chunky, fine and back-fill/tailings) and take very good care of it. There were several downpours during our stay as might be expected. But other than some minor pooling, the park didn't flood and drained fairly quickly. Utilities were basic but worked fine. Cable was fine and the free WiFi worked OK, but the very affordable premium WiFi was terrific. Electric came in a $0.14/kwh. The washers and dryers have seen better days (2 or 3 of each worked OK) and cost $1.50 each. Great mail/FedEx/UPS service - there was a large table set aside for all the deliveries. T-Mobile and AT&T service was decent though I used my booster most of the time if not connected to park WiFi

Otherwise, it was all about the beach, the water, the tides, and wildlife. Folks spent lots of time fishing from the great pier or from the shore. There is a smaller beach to the east but a much longer one to the west (right) as there were no houses (aside from one) in that direction. Dogs could be off-leash on this beach, and depending on the tide, you would go quite a good ways. Lots of shorebirds, dolphins, probably turtles, occasional shark, stingrays, snails, hermit crabs, crabs, and burrowing things. While the wind did pick up most days, early and late were great times to go out and paddle, some even going across the channel to Bird Island.

Carrabelle has a basic grocery store, gas, a few restaurants, etc. Apalachicola is 30 minutes west, and Tallahassee is over an hour northeast. But there is a huge amount to do all throughout the area. And don't forget the local BBQ and Tupelo honey.
