Emerald Coast RV Beach Resort, Panama City Beach

This is where rude, obnoxious managers rule with an eye on making your vacation the woarst experience in all our travels. We were appalled by the level of ignorance of the manager and the nasty, dirty bathrooms. Too expensive and not friendly. We were given the wrong directions to our site, then they screamed at us. It was horrible.

Attractive small park - beautifully landscaped. Limited space for big rigs. Pull in area to register can accommodate only one big rig towing a vehicle and there is not designated area to unhook tow vehicle. Pleasant office staff suggested we pull through the gate and stop further down the road to unhook. This we did, leaving our tow vehicle at the side of the narrow roadway. We proceeded to the assigned site with our rig to find it was occupied so backed into the site beside the one we were assigned and called the office. We had been given the wrong site number and were advised to proceed to the correct site. Prior to doing this we moved our tow vehicle into a vacant site so we would not continue to obstruct the narrow roadway in the event another camper was trying to navigate. With some difficulty we did manage to get our 42' rig turned around so we could back into the correct site. We then walked back to move our tow vehicle only to be approached by one of the "Managers" who (in the best words I can use to describe) told us in a very snotty tone that we could not park our vehicle in the spot we were in. We explained that we had been given a wrong site number and had only placed the vehicle in the spot temporarily out of consideration of other campers who might be arriving. The manager continued to tell us we couldn't park there and we couldn't leave the vehicle at the side of the road either - don't know what we were supposed to do with the tow vehicle while we backed our rig into the site!!!!! This was definitely unnecessary stress in addition to the site fiasco. The other manager later came to our coach and further belaboured the mixup until we showed him the map we were given with the incorrect site number circled. He also asked to see the vaccination records for our dogs as he commented that a couple of residents had already been bitten by "Canadian" dogs! We were definitely getting the message that Canadians were not welcome here. Following these events we observed the people in the park and really have to say they did not seem to be very happy or friendly. This seemed to be a strange observation as our 5 months in Florida campgrounds - Naples and Fort St. Lucie - have been wonderful experiences - absolutely great, friendly people whether campers, campground managers or staff. I do hope Emerald Coast RV Beach Resort is the only blemish on our trip. We definitely will not come back and will definitely pass the word to all we meet.

The park is kept clean. Great friendly people in the park, not to mention the staff. It is just a great place to be. We were there the entire week and had a blast. It is a very clean family environment. Very close to all the attractions that Panama City has to offer. The staff is great and very helpful. Thanks.

After our first trip here 4 months ago, my wife and I enjoyed it so much that we planned our vacation for the 4th of July week at Emerald Coast RV. With the tropical plants, clean environment, close proximity to attractions, and most of all the friendly people that work here, this is a great family RV Park. I would rate it at the top of the list for the North Florida Area.

conveniently located park and very well run!!! Landscaping very nice and well maintained! Clean spaces large and even near the ocean front and Zoo. I can see why this was voted #1 resort!

my wife and 3 daughters + dog spent 4 days at camp wilderness disney before coming to emerald coast rv resort. we loved it so much we decided to stay an extra day...wish we stayed all week in panama city...be back in 2 months.
