Carrabelle, Florida
A 5 PAW review from Chili and Cedar! Ho Hum RV Park is a dog-friendly stay on the Forgotten Coast. Dogs are welcome on local beaches in Carrabelle and St. George Island.
Key Takeaways:
Moving on down the coast 90 miles west of Port St. Joe, we checked into the Ho Hum RV Park for a 5-night stay. The name tells you this is not a resort – it’s a small, ocean front RV park we absolutely loved. We stayed on an inside lot for two nights (there was some road noise off Hwy 98) and then moved to an ocean front lot for the remainder of our stay. Our RV sat just feet from the ocean providing a lovely ocean breeze and the calming sound of waves. The gravel lots were level and provided enough room to set up our screen porch. The park bath house and laundry facilities were clean and well maintained. The regular internet was slow so we upgraded to premium internet at $1.50 per day. Cable was provided as well. We found the hosts very helpful and dog friendly! There was a grassy area for the dogs and a half mile of beach accessible from the park. We caught some amazing sun rises but there were no real sunsets from the park, just some beautiful pink and purple hues reflecting off the water. We opted to take our dogs to Carrabelle Beach about 5 minutes away to a dog friendly beach. The beach was level and uncrowded and we walked 2-3 miles every morning with the dogs.
What to do:
Enjoy the laid-back friendly atmosphere of the Forgotten Coast. Visit the historic Village of Carrabelle and enjoy local seafood. Visit St. George Island with pristine, dog friendly beaches and restaurants. The St. George Island State Park has a nice RV park and dog friendly walking trails but the beaches in the State Park are not dog friendly. We enjoyed the Blue Parrot Café on St. George Island – awesome seafood and dog-friendly seating on their spacious decks.
Red Dog Review:
5Paws! Very dog-friendly atmosphere in the Ho Hum RV Park and surrounding area. Short walk to potty and lots of other doggies. We loved our walks on the beach, running from the big waves and sand in our toes. The Blue Parrot Café was our favorite – we each got a bucket of ice water to keep us cool.
