The campground no longer has trees or much shrubbery due to the destruction. But the location was fine for an overnight stay on our way to Topsail State Park. I can't remember how much we paid. The site wasn't perfectly level but a couple of mats fixed it.

We ended up here after a last minute trip was planned and all the other parks were full. A little bit more than we wanted to pay but they accommodated us and let us even change sites after we arrived and scoped out our favorite.

A little bit more than we wanted to pay but they accommodated us and let us even change sites after we arrived and scoped out our favorite. The sites are close together and there are no longer any trees . The people are friendly, the pool is blue. They are laying down new gravel every day. There are several sites that would accommodate our 45 foot trailer and we were able to park our semi truck in the lot where everyone else was parking their boats. Plenty of room for everyone. We spent most of our time at the condos that the kids had rented. While we paid more than we wanted, we sure paid less than they did and got to sleep in our own bed: priceless.Right before we left there was quite a downpour which turned much of the place into a lake. It made unhooking everything into a soggy mess, but that could probably be said about almost any campground.Note: this place is now known as Mexico Beach RV Resort, some sites are dirt, some are gravel.

I would have no problem with this place if they would call it as it is. Literally a dusty slab to park on w hook ups. Not a resort. Lots of long term tenants. Rough terrain and kind of a dump. I understand rebuilding but it should be advertised as an RV park until it has the resort completed.

Please keep in mind that we left the weekend of Memorial and they were busting their butts to get everything back together for the busy weekend. So a lot of things that we dis not have (yet paid for) in May, they now offer or said they would be offering soon. There are no fences specified dog areas, so if you're not a dog person or want to go for a walk...watch where you step (we didn't have an issue, but this was an observation). We did not have laundry (until memorial weekend), and even though we booked months in advance, we were not told about this until it was 2 weeks ahead and time to pay our deposit. We were already on the road and did not want to have to change our plans. So we dealt with going to Port St Joe (the nearest place to do laundry and its expensive). No hot tub, which is kind of a bummer. No wifi (which we should have had for the price and since it's a "resort). We ended up using up the data on 3 different devices in 2 weeks. TV would only work some of the time. Dumpsters are in the front if the park only, not dispersed . The pool was gross and unkempt until right before memorial weekend, so not sure if they'll keep it up again after that or not. They finally added a few umbrellas and nicer lounge chairs too. However there are only 4 tables, which does not seat very many guests. The concrete around the pool got SUPER dusty and gross the Friday before Memorial weekend, you couldn't even sit on the edge of the pool without sitting in dirt. I finally hosed an area off to sit since there were no tables available. One of the employees or their adult kids (whom I'm not sold lives in the park has their whole family with like 6 kids splashing and playing in the pool for hours).The pool seems decent size until you have 13 kids in it and there's no room for adults. They do not have a kids pool. They only set up laundry, bar and food services in time for memorial weekend so regular guests and long time residents didn't have these services for 5-6 months. Seems kind of crappy. We left the Saturday of Memorial weekend and they hadn't gotten the permit to sell booze for the bar, not sure if that's been done as of now. The roads and parking for the spots is kind of consfusing because they arent really marked. It's set up wonky and so it's so confusing that the employees even get it wrong. We pulled in what seemed like would be the correct way and were told to turn around. Then when guests arrived a month later, they did the same thing and said that that's how the employees told them to park. Which was incorrect and left 1 site without hookups this way. The good: cell service is great with a cell tower the next property over. The regular residents and employees are very nice. Now that they finally put in new washers and dryers, that should be nice for those that get to use them. Having the bar and restaurant back up will be great (but will also make everything super crowded, so I hope they figure out the site pull thru and pool situation). Its only about 1/2 mile from the beach. The employees busted their butts for a few weeks trying to make the place nice and get the bar/restaurant up and running for Memorial weekend. This should have been started way in advance, but it is what it is. We just feel jipped and I'm sure the full time residents do as well. We all pay the same money and want the same benefits. I don't mind kids and they deserve to have fun too. But it would be nice to enjoy the pool without crazy chaos... not sure what the owners could do about this short of putting in a kids pool. For $1420 a month and them being a "resort" there should be a better pool situation, hot tub, laundry and wifi. But that's just my opinion.

Recovering from a hurricane like Matthew is difficult and I love to see beauty rise from the devastation! You can see this here! The people here are wonderful. Kind, helpful and accommodating.

Kind, helpful and accommodating. They are renovating the campground and you can see progress! The pool is beautiful. The sites are so easy to get into. You are centrally located to some of the best kayaking and fishing anywhere! I’m so happy to support this campground and help rebuild a beautiful beach community. It was so quiet! No hard lights keeping you awake. Overlook the necessary construction and support this park!

Lovely not touristy town. Campground is roughly 6 blocks to the beach with lots of public access/parking. Store across from the road for essentials and adult beverages and post office.

Campground is roughly 6 blocks to the beach with lots of public access/parking. Store across from the road for essentials and adult beverages and post office. Dog friendly beach access right next to Mexico Beach. Still rebuilding from hurricane Matthew, but things are starting to open back up. The campground is under new ownership and improvements are in the works. They were repairing the pot hole covered road in as we were leaving and already made a big difference. Get your groceries and gas before, as they are few and far in this area. Nearest Walmart 45 minutes away. Campground is simple but quiet. Quiet enough to work from rig several days. Verizon and Sprint both had decent service. They have a tiki bar and pool and do live music certain days. Must try the fish tacos food truck just up the road! You are on the time change line, so be mindful when planning activities or restaurant hours. We loved the campground for the price and absolutely adored the area. Big rig friendly. Restroom/shower house was very clean. Laundry facilities only has one working washer, but again new owners are working on updates. They do allow mail/package delivery, just list your site #. Everyone was very friendly and although there are a few parts that could use a little clean up, we had no issues while staying. Wifi was not accessible to us and they are honest about that. Will definitely return and look forward to seeing the improvements.

We were told new management took over very recently and they have many big plans to repair this rv park. That being said it is completely destroyed at the current moment. Huge potholes, glass everywhere even in our rv site, trees destroyed, huge trash pile. It is looking rough right now. Dirt sand mixture that is very unlevel to park ...moreWe were told new management took over very recently and they have many big plans to repair this rv park. That being said it is completely destroyed at the current moment. Huge potholes, glass everywhere even in our rv site, trees destroyed, huge trash pile. It is looking rough right now. Dirt sand mixture that is very unlevel to park rvs on. Water puddles everywhere but a rainstorm had just passed the area. There are some actual single wide permanent trailers in the back. To one side is a small canal and beyond that is someone’s property they have bringing dump trucks in to truck out a pond or something. They have plans to pave and reconfigure soon. We had trouble maneuvering our 38 foot around the grounds with the odd fences and potholes. Management was pretty nice. Hopeful in the future this place looks amazing.

We used our Passport America lifetime membership and stayed at the Rustic Sands Campground in a 50 amp full hookup campsite for $24.00 per night. Cellular service was blazing fast attributable to the adjacent cellular tower. Verizon cellular service clocked in at 39.4 Mbps download speed and 12.0 Mbps upload speed. AT&T cellular service clocked in at 115 Mbps download speed and 33.3 Mbps upload speed. T- Mobile cellular service clocked in at 120 Mbps download speed and 47.3 Mbps upload speed.

I book here after canceling El Governor due to lack of flexibility in checkout time. I was here for a triathlon and the other place insisted I be out by 11.

These folks said no problem and let us roll about 12:30. If you’re looking for shiny new resort your in the wrong place. It’s more of a fish camp atmosphere. That being said, it was clean and the management was friendly. WIFI was suitable but we were close to the office. It’s about a 3/4 mile from the beach. I’ll come back and stay a little longer. There was entertainment at night but we didn’t partake.
