Sure, hotels are nice, and renting out private lodgings via Airbnb or VRBO can make for a good experience. But if you’re one who likes things their own way and enjoys a bit of adventure and independence with your travels, then nothing quite matches up to RV camping. This is especially true when your destination is someplace like Cape San Blas, FL with its many gorgeous beaches, waterways, parks, and local bars and restaurants with patios. In other words, this is a place to be outside, and RV camping offers the best type of lodging to do just that. Especially when one considers all of the great RV parks in this area! Just take a look at the following snapshot of the best RV parks in Cape San Blas, FL to see just where you’ll want to take your road warrior on your next tour of the Florida Panhandle:

Old Salt RV Park is located in a beach neighborhood of Port St. Joe. Though, they aren’t technically on the beach itself, guests of Old Salt RV Park can enjoy a short and easy walk to the white sands of Mexico Beach from here. This RV Park features 28 generously sized spaces, each of which offers 20 and 50-amp electric, sewer, and water hook-ups as well as featuring a fire ring and picnic table. We also love Old Salt RV Park for the community spaces they’ve built up, which includes a comfortable outdoor, but roofed pavilion area set beside a gas and charcoal grill. A 24-hour laundry facility and upscale bathhouse further offer home-like amenities for all guests.
3. Indian Pass Campground

Aqua Bay RV Park also makes traveling easy with their onsite bath and laundry houses and with water, sewer, and power available at every RV site. We only wish that Aqua Bay RV Park had a bit more trees or similar shaded spaces, but as it stands their affordable lots and convenient access to the water make it deserving of a spot on this list of best RV parks in Cape San Blas, FL.
