Statewide · Florida
St. Andrews State Park is a Florida State Parks campground at Panama City Beach on the Panhandle, and it is one of the few Gulf-front public parks in the region where getting a bigger rig in does not feel like a puzzle. Roughly 176 sites sit in two pine-shaded loops within a short walk of a protected Gulf beach and a calm lagoon, so it suits families with young swimmers who want sheltered water first and open surf a few minutes away.

St. Andrews State Park is a Florida State Parks campground at Panama City Beach on the Panhandle, and it is one of the few Gulf-front public parks in the region where getting a bigger rig in does not feel like a puzzle. Roughly 176 sites sit in two pine-shaded loops within a short walk of a protected Gulf beach and a calm lagoon, so it suits families with young swimmers who want sheltered water first and open surf a few minutes away.
The practical picture is standard Florida state park: water plus a mix of 30- and 50-amp electric, no sewer at the pad, and a dump station on the way out. Most sites take rigs to about 40 feet, and around 123 of the sites are RV-friendly. Rates run roughly $28 to $36 a night before utility and booking fees, which is a fraction of what private beach resorts charge. The trade-off is availability: reservations open 11 months out and summer dates fill quickly, so we book on the first eligible day rather than hoping for a cancellation.
