The Hideaway Retreat

I had a great 30-day stay here with a water View. It is very quiet. The beach is a 2-minute walk. And since it's a private beach your dog can be off leash on the beach. Full hookups. And a bath house, laundry and beautiful trees. There's also great shopping nearby. It has many pull through sites for longer rigs. The trees offer lovely shade but does not obstruct the Waterview. The water is clear and lovely and warm perfect for floating on all day

We stayed here in our first airstream trip...everyone was super helpful. We were tucked away in the corner so it was very private. We set up our chairs and enjoyed the water.
The beach on the sound is very shallow and no waves so it would be great for little kids or to get into a kayak. We were hoping to bike around but the road through town just seemed too dangerous. Unfortunately no campfires are allowed but they do have a community fire pit. We enjoyed ourselves very much...it’s a beautiful little spot. Great laundry and bath house...everything is super cute!

This place is adorable! Smaller size RV park with waterfront sites and sweet common spaces and renovated/shabby chic baths and laundry space. We loved our stay there and think we were in the best site in the park. 47.
37, 45, 46 and 47 are all on the waterfront. 47 is nicest because one side has no neighbors, you have a large side yard and direct path to the beach.
Most mornings -we were here in February- the dogs and I had the beach to ourselves.
And you can listen to the waves from your RV.
The staff are also super friendly.
Good cell service and after some repositioning we were able to get satellite tv thru the trees.
It’s winter in FL so the rates we paid definitely reflected that. It’s very pricey.
A monthly rate might be the way to go if you can stay that long. Have fun!

Great view and the lady in the office was nice but the electricity was intermittent, the park is very poorly lighted - no light on the sign at the street so good luck coming in after dark - the dock/wharf has fallen apart. It appears that a new owner is trying to renovate but it’s not there yet.

The new owner is transforming this small paradise in a very special and unique place. A truly ”boutique” campground! I’m already planning to come back soon.

We had the best time! Jeanie, the owner, is super helpful and accommodating. The booking/map process can be tricky. I recommend you call and get their help securing the best spot available. The private beach is incredible. We can’t wait to go back!

Very nice camp ground. If you have a larger rig it is a very tight to maneuver and if you are not watching closely you will miss your turn into the camp ground. (We have a 41 foot 5th wheel) This is a great camp ground with a private beach. Views are great from our site. Office personnel were very nice and friendly. They really care for the camp ground.

So I came in first thing on a Friday morning with my runaway camper. The campground staff I worked with both over the phone and checked me was super friendly and nice. She told me I had a good spot right next to the bath house. That I did, right next to the bath house that appears to have a water leak under the building and right next to a security light. The spot i was give did not resemble even remotely a camping spot but rather fresh white rock with one power stand that was to prove power to the other 6 plus “sites” along that line of gravel. She even referred to where was as over flow guest parking and my reserved site was marked by orange cones. The staff person I could back in the trailer and park along side of camper and she even left 2 cones to block it so no one else would park there.

Later that night after seeing them pack more campers in, I finally crawled into the nice cool camper and then the power goes. I got outside and I see 3 other campsites all with flashlights trying to figure out what happened. Come to find out the last big RV they shoved in there also jumped on the same 15amp breaker. So we had to figure out their pole situation since 6+ sites were all hooked..

Day #2 come back from long day of beach and new campers in and nearly parked into my site. So i pulled my truck up side ways just like many other sites were doing to even get their tow vehicles parked. The owner was backing another trailer in and told me I need to move my truck into the tight space.. hot and tired from the day I wiggled it into the spot she asked. Took a nap came back out and owner comes back up and tells me now she wants me to move my truck back the way I had it because they cant park all their vehicles... so now a bit frustrated I take off for some food. I come back 20 or so mins later, its now after hours and I find a red ford truck backed up to my camper as if they were going to hitch up and go. No one to be found around. Noooo other parking spaces so I drive around. I run by the office in which 2 emergency numbers are posted. Neither scott of the other lady ever answer their phones. Left a vm @ main office which was never returned. Finally i sit in the main road and lady comes walking up to grab cell phone chargers out of the truck and starts to walk away. I yell at her and told her this was my site and I need to park here. Her reply was “ well they told me to park here this was overflow parking”???

Day#3 i make reservations at a hotel at Ft Walton and stop in office. Showed them them the pics and told them the story. They were sympathetic and said they would talk to the owner. That was Sunday morning, today is Weds and no response. I had booked through Thursday. Left a voicemail again today and no response. Not even an attempt at an apology... This is piss poorly run and they are more worrier about making money by stacking as many rvs in as they can then making a good experience

We came in a day early and stayed in site 39, which is not an ocean front view, however less than 3 minute walk. Site 15 was right in front of pier and breath- taking view. Ladies restrooms were newly remodeled and very clean. Cute little place in the middle for campfire and family games. Pier was only partially functional, however could get right down to beach. Hurricane Sally took all piers out in Navarre. Bear walked through our campground 1st morning, not bothering a sole.

We enjoyed our stay in this cute little campground. Staff was friendly. Our dog especially enjoyed the private beach where he could enjoy being without leash.

We will be back!
