Lucky Charm RV Park - Old Town, Florida

PFR *****
Campground ****

See previous reviews November 1, 2015 and January 13, 2017.

 The last two times we stayed at this campground we LOVED it because of the really huge grassy sites, and how pet friendly they are.  They are still super pet friendly, but this time they put us in one of their new sites.  This site is a long pull-thru, but not NEARLY as wide as the other sites.  Also the grass is very sparse and full of very loose sand.  The parking pad is ground up asphalt and pretty soft.  Our jacks made indentions in it.

Site #62
$30/night
Length of stay - 1 night

St. Andrews State Park, Panama City, Florida

PFR *****
Campground ****

The first time we stayed in this same site was 11/2/15, (original posting below).

The clearing area in this site is much larger than the last time we were in it.  We used all 7 xpens, and had plenty of room.  It is still quite secluded from the sites on either side, and easy access to the water.

A mamma deer and her baby came to visit us before we even got set up.  They were very tame.  A squirrel also came down the palm tree and acted like he had been hand fed.

We have a better wifi receiver and an OTA antenna booster now, so we had better reception on both.  But, there are too many trees around to get any kind of satellite reception.

Site #114
$28/night
Length of stay - 14 nights
OTA - 21 channels including MeTV
Satellite - None
Water pressure - 60 lbs

This is a very beautiful park!  Each site is surrounded by natural foliage and trees, with a lot of space between each site.  The site we got backed up to the water.  Our site had a gravel pad that was about 6' wider than the rig, and sandy ground past that.  The site was wide enough to use 4 xpens.  We had intended to only stay 2 nights, but decided to stay an additional night.  We did not have an option to stay past that, since that site was already reserved.  I had made this reservation several months ago, and this was the only site available, that would accommodate our rig, for the time period we needed.

I called the park a couple of weeks before we arrived and asked about their pet limit policies.   She said they did not have a limit, and asked how many we had.  I told her that we had 6 well behaved, very small, dogs.  She said that would be fine.  But, when we checked in, no one even asked if we had pets.

The man across the road from us, turned out to be a Sat diver, and had many mutual friends with Rick.

Site #114
$28 per night

Grayton Beach State Park - Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

PFR ****
Campground ****

There are no pet limits listed on the web site or in the rules they gave us at check-in.  But, Mike said the guy asked if we had pets, and when he said we had dogs, the guy said, "Two?".  So he said, "Yes.".  Our site was pretty secluded, so no one ever even saw them.

Our site was tiny gravel bits surrounded by vegetation on 3 sides.  If it had been warmer weather, we could have put out all 7 xpens, but we only put out 5 because it was too cold to stay outside very long. There are walking trails and beach access.  The park is peaceful and well kept.  Half of the sites are FHU.

After we got set up, we discovered that Rick and his family were here, just a few sites down from us.
