RV CAMPGROUNDS ON THE OCEAN AND THE GULF OF MEXICO
Chuck and I decided we want to live on the Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico as much as possible.
FACEBOOK RESULTS
The results are in!!! I asked a Facebook Fulltime RVing group for a few suggestions. Well, it turns out the post was a hit and everyone wanting the list of RV Campgrounds on the Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. It was really fun putting the list together. I wanted to share it with everyone.

Flying Flags Avila

Avila Beach CA 93424 USA
(805) 888-0158
https://www.flyingflagsavilabeach.com/
Notes from Facebook – “Every site has an unbelievable view. The park is on a hill. You walk down the hill (through the rv park), cross the road and there is the beach. we have learned after that trip that some sites are better view with less rvs right below you. You. An ask them for recommendations. The staff is awesome.
We take our e-bikes but you certainly don’t need them. You can walk out on the pier and have the best fish and chips. Breakfast at Fat Cats.
The negatives about the spot are: Not a lot for kids to do. Perfect for adults wanting a view and relax. They have entertainment on the weekends. They also have minimum night stays. Summer is 7nights. However, it’s so nice. Quiet, not a lot of turnaround”

https://beachroservpark.com/
Notes from Facebook – “It’s super tiny, only 1 pull thru. But, it’s dog friendly, with two fenced off leash areas within feet of your site. The beach is a mile away, but it’s a walk thru protected marshes. And the beach is worth the walk. Owner/manager Melissa, is amazing! Laundry Express on Main Street (we have a washer/dryer but sometimes like to spoil ourselves) is brand new, super clean, and efficient. Staff is especially friendly. Our experience was probably enhanced because we’re off season, I suspect the peak summer months might be chaos, but I highly recommend stopping by if you’re on the North East Atlantic coast.”

Be sure to get your camping pass in town I believe the grocery store sells them. Plenty of space for big rigs. The police do ticket if you don’t have a pass so be sure to get one.”
