We stayed here over a weekend. The campsite was level, and provided adequate privacy. No problems backing in our 34 foot Excella.
Showers were clean and warm. There is a small laundry that you can use.
The beach, like most Florida Beaches doesn't allow dogs. Most of the beaches in Port St. Joe do though. There is basically only one walking trail other than the beach. That trail is less than a mile but gives you good views of the bay.
We had an Omincell boosting our Verizon signal, but we had a good signal the whole time.
Sunsets were spectacular.

Not much that I can add other than the fact that this CG is a great place to take it easy or find adventure.
The camp hosts were friendly, helpful and kept the Shady Pines loop immaculate!! We took a tip from Wander Wasi and found a spot between sites 90-100. 92 had been a tent only spot in the past but it has water and electric now. It appeared that all sites did. 92 was a bit tight but we have a truck camper so it worked. Path to the beach was across from our site and it was a quick 1-2 min. walk over the dunes to a huge,white sand beach. You can also follow trails to the bay side of the peninsula.
We would highly recommend this CG for respite or fun or both!!!

Can I just say that I love this park. The beach was so close and so beautiful. There were plenty of roads to ride bikes. The campsite was lush. The bathrooms were decent. Free wifi was available. I will be back.

We absolutely loved this state park! We were able to snag two nights as a walk up (Thurs-Sat), this park books up far in advance. We called when we were about an hour away and they had one spot, so we took the risk and drove out there. It's a pretty drive out to the barrier island. Follow the other review and come stocked, there is nothing nearby...there is a grocery and small town in Port St. Joe...but nothing down the street so-to-speak. We were actually in the Gulf Breeze Loop and loved it...BUT, it's because we had a great site...site 11...which gave us tons of privacy and we had a beautiful view of the marsh behind us...it is gorgeous! The sites around us were great...but I would not choose the rest of the sites in that loop if given the choice. We were surprised that the beach on the bay was much more calm than the beach facing the gulf. The beaches were pristine...one with miles of endless sand and very few people, the other was spotted with shells and horseshoe crab remnants....a beach peddlers paradise. We enjoyed hiking through the preserve. I would go back in a heartbeat and will plan to stay much longer the next time we are in the area. This is one now one of our favorite places in FL. Be sure to visit Shipwrecks Restaurant one night for the best oysters and cheapest happy hour prices you will find for seafood and drinks. The oysters and crab cakes are amazing. Our site had Electric & Water, a fire pit, table and clothesline poles...and a sufficient amount of plants to create a favorable wall between our neighbors. Note, this campground is in the Central Time Zone, although half of your electronics will say you are on East Coast Time.

We were able to snag a couple of cancelled nights at St. Joseph State Park and enjoyed this quiet and practically empty beach in Florida...in April!
This state park is definitely a destination in itself as there is not a city nearby or any entertainment to speak of. Stock up before heading this way because we only found on small grocery/gift shop with an okay selection at unfair prices. Also, send all emails and make phone calls before heading this way as we were unable to get any usable internet.
The good: The beach. Absolutely pristine. And a few people here and there. And a very short walk from our campsite across the dunes via boardwalk to the beach. $24 a night for 30 amps and water.
The okay: The sites are tight. Some are setup awkwardly. Our picnic table was behind our rig and we had to park our truck creatively to fit it in the site although we were in an appropriately sized site. We stayed in the Shady Pines loop and would recommend any of the sites 90-102 which are just across from the beach with no neighbors across the street. (There isn't a beach view from any sites due to the dunes). We did walk through the Gulf Breeze loop and didn't like it at all. Much less vegetation and much less privacy.
There is a nice boardwalk that connects the two loops which passes through marshes, dunes and controlled burn areas where baby palmettos are making their comeback. We took the dogs for walks along this boardwalk but of course, they aren't allowed on the beach.
There is a concessionaire at the marina which rents out kayaks to use on St. Joseph Bay, not sure on pricing but we were perfectly content just hanging out on the beach!
