    RV Camping at St. Andrews State Park in Panama City, Florida
    Hey folks, here's our video of St. Andrews State Park Campground. This awesome Florida State Park is right on the beach and the campground less than a mile from the beautiful emerald green waters of the Panama City Beach. You're virtually a few minutes from everything in Panama City Beach.
    We parked our Retro 189R travel trailer in one of the campground's water front (full hook-up) sites on the Grand Lagoon for a relaxing weekend and peaceful evenings at the campground. At and near this state park campground you can have all sorts of fun with camping, cycling, fishing and if you like you can even take a short ferry ride over to Shell Island for some snorkeling or shell hunting. You can relax at the beach or hang out at the campsite toasting marshmallows. With high temperatures in the mid 70s, this Florida State Park was an excellent place for us to relax in December.
    We camp as much as we can and we record all of our camping adventures while traveling in our Retro 189R.
    We do this for...
    every campground
    every site
    every time.
    Go ahead and subscribe to the channel so you can see what wonderful campgrounds are out there.
    Happy Trails & Happy Camping

      Hey Julie
      We have to agree, its one of our favorites too. We've talked about spending more time in that area. Two weeks sounds like the perfect amount of time there. 🙂

    Sorry you didn't get to see the alligators. I live in Panama City and can assure you that the gators are there in that park. Last time I was at the park there was a large alligator laying in the sun right where you both were walking :)

      One day I'm gonna walk up on an alligator and Angel is going to have some funny footage of her hubby running like a madman! 😆

    Would you please comment on how difficult the drive is from the Interstate to this park. We recently upgraded to a 40 ft. 5th wheel. My husband has reservations about driving in a lot of traffic and switching lanes towing this monster. Thanks!

    • @RetroRVRecon
      @RetroRVRecon  Рік тому +2

      Its really a piece of cake. The only thing I would advise is to be in the correct lane about a 1/2 mile before you make your turn. The closer to the coast you get the thicker the traffic. Y'all should be fine. Those Florida folks are nice to campers, in my experience.
      Thanks for watching!

    When you are outside, I can see the microphone on your hat. I can hear you perfectly. When you are in the truck it has to be silent in the house, or I have to get out the head phones to hear. Use the microphone in the truck 😁. On a side note, looks like you have enough subs to monetize. CONGRATS! My second 1k seams to be climbing much quicker than the first

    • @RetroRVRecon
      @RetroRVRecon  Рік тому

      Hey Mike.
      Thanks for the feedback. We're still working out the kinks with the microphones.🎤😳
      We were also impressed with the sites. We were impressed with the whole St Park!😃
      And... yes! Thank you very much, we were excited about our milestone.☺☺
      And a belated CONGRATS to you too!!
      Thanks again Mike for the feedback and comment and thank you very much for watching our video.😀😀

    Merry Christmas to you guys. I am glad there is a you tube channel for us who have Retro's. 2018 Riverside Retro 285FK here. Where can I find a copy of the prices for the different sites, the ones by the coast are amazing. Sites #58 and #59 would be amazing. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to the next video.

    • @RetroRVRecon
      @RetroRVRecon  Рік тому

      Hey Bob, thanks!☺🙂 and Merry Christmas to you too!!
      We're glad to hear from fellow Retro RVrs. The 285K, wow that's a nice one. We stepped in one a few months back, just to see how big it is. At the time I had know idea the Retro came with slide outs.
      Since I'm not 100% on the prices I added a link to the St Park (campground) in the description. And yes, #57 / #58 / #59 are indeed amazing (Although I have to say, site #92 is my favorite!)😁😀
      Thanks Bob for watching our video and for the comment.👍🙂

    So explain how somebody is renting sites out. Are you sure that they aren't just renting the RVs?

    • @RetroRVRecon
      @RetroRVRecon  Рік тому +1

      Hey Toby
      I think there are several different options for the person that wants to rent a camper. You can check with several web sites that offer this service. I'm not 100% sure how it work since I don't rent my camper.🙂
      Thanks, Toby, for watching our video!

      Maybe a few but to me most of the sites have plenty room to back in.
