Best time to visit St. Joe State Park
Late spring through early fall, roughly April to October, offers the most comfortable conditions for RV camping, with warm days, open swim beaches, and fully operational campground facilities. Summer weekends and holidays draw heavy OHV and family crowds, so midweek visits or shoulder months such as May, September, and October provide milder weather and quieter campsites. Winter visits are possible for dry camping, but expect cold nights and reduced services.

Beautiful RV, very spacious. Owners were very sweet and fast to respond to communication.
Lorelei B. - May 2025
We rented this camper for a weekend trip. Ralph is very nice & responded quickly to our questions. He was very accommodating to our pick up & drop off times. The camper was just like the pictures except the outside was faded a little which did not matter to us. It was clean and well taken care of. It was well stocked with cooking/eating needs. It even had a coffee maker, toaster, condiments, outdoor chairs, & much more. The bed was very comfy. I would rent it again.
