Coastline RV Resort, Eastpoint, FL

Coastline RV Resort is located on the ‘forgotten coast’ of Florida’s Panhandle. Located in the town of Eastpoint, FL directly off US 98 which hugs the Gulf Coast with sunset views of Apalachicola Bay. The bridge over to St.George Island and more camping opportunities is a short drive away. This area is beautiful and offers a multitude of interesting venues to explore. Notably St.George Island, historic Apalachicola lost in a time warp with good restaurants, Crooked River Lighthouse, and Carrabelle Beach with its beautiful sandy dog friendly beach. 
This is a new rv park, built in 2013. This is the sister park to Coastline RV Campground approximately 1 mile West on US 98. This can only be considered a resort if one wishes to incorporate their restaurant 1 mile West adjacent to the Coastline RV Campground. The resort has wide, easy navigable gravel streets with paver patios The first three tiers of sites all face the Apalachicola Bay and have views while the tiers in the rear, behind the clubhouse, have no or limited views. The grounds are well kept with no trees and minimal landscape plantings. Backing into our tier three site with our 45’ motorcoach was simple since the wide streets provided ample turning room. Between the first three tiers facing Apalachicola Bay and the back tiers sit two buildings, the office and the clubhouse. The office contains the welcome center, a modest store and a rental unit called ‘The seaside Suite’. The clubhouse, with a beautiful crystal clear pool located next to it, contains the modern, sparkling clean showers and bathrooms. It also has a full kitchen, small exercise room, lounge area, and laundry machines. The end of the clubhouse has a screened porch overlooking the pool and the Bay. Alas, the pool is not heated so when visiting at the tail end of April the water was way too chilly to even contemplate wading in. One of the few parks where (even though they state that they clean sites before check-in time) the sites are actually cleaned; we saw first hand where the site next to us was cleaned, charcoal grill cleaned and emptied, grass edged around pad, and the picnic table scrubbed down-wow.
WiFi is provided, and as in most parks it is satisfactory streaming with occasional buffering.  We used our Winegard Rayzor Automatic local antenna to receive the few local TV stations.
A newly opened restaurant and part of Coastline located 1 mile West, adjacent to the Campground, the Pesky Pelican, offers good seafood dinners.
A welcomed feature on their website is a reservation app which is unique in the rv park/campground industry (we have only seen this at a few other rv park websites and it has been offered at national park reservation sites for reserving tent and rv sites for some time). This apps provides a picture and short description of each site (including the suite and cottages) and is so convenient as a particular site can be chosen and reserved in a matter of minutes. No more time spent on the phone as the booking agent attempts to decipher if any sites are available and does not guarantee any particular site. This is the future just beginning to surface.

The takeaway: A pleasant rv park, right on Apalachicola Bay, not a resort, well maintained with acceptable WiFi. Wide gravel streets, views of Apalachicola Bay, clubhouse with all amenities along with a pool and access to their own pier on the Bay (still damaged at time of our visit from hurricane Michael), and beautiful sunsets over Apalachicola Bay. A unique on-line reservation system allows the guest to pick and reserve a particular site. Stayed April 2019. Go to  www.rickpicks.com for other reviews, critiques and essays.
