I was there opening day last month. Complete renovation of the campground. Be prepared to take an extra 3" sewer hose extension if your not using Sanicon. All utilities are rear of the sites not close to your wet bay. Hwy 71 dumps into St. Joe and Hwy 98. 71 is a good 2 lane but watch out for logging trucks and the police after crossing the bridge just before St. Joe. Just hang a left on 98 then 30A and you'll be there in 15 minutes. Try the shrimp place next door. They'll steam the shrimp while you wait. Hope the pool is finished. Have fun.

Well we made the trip down Fla. 71. It is a good 2 lane highway with very little traffic . Just miles & miles of pine trees.. If you are looking for peace and quite this is the place. Even though it is a marina there is very little noise. The town of Port St. Joe is a quaint little town with small narrow streets but good for walking and browsing the old shops. The seafood we had was less than desirable, but being from Louisiana I guess we expected it to be on line with what we are use to here. We did find a good barbq place on hwy 30E out towards the state park. The campground was good and the utilities were located reasonably close to our wet bay, only 1 3" hose length away. It is further away than I like for a one day trip, 466.7 miles, but traffic wasn't bad. If you are in that area I would would stay there again but I would call for reservations as there is a lot of fishing in that area.
