The Pavilion: A spectacular community center featuring a zero-entry pool and a state-of-the-art fitness center (coming 9/26).
Water Access: On-site boat ramp and day-use docks with direct access to West Bay and a short boat ride to Shell Island.
Outdoor Adventure: Launch your kayak or paddleboard from the community docks, or enjoy the private campsite with permanent tents and a fire pit.
Trails & Recreation: Over 7 miles of interconnected boardwalks and trails for hiking and biking, plus pickleball courts and a playground.
The Preserve: A sanctuary for over 100 species of birds and local wildlife, ensuring your backyard remains a peaceful natural wonder.
Located just minutes from the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP) and the sugar-white sands of Panama City Beach, RiverCamps offers the rare 'best of both worlds'--a secluded woods-to-water sanctuary within easy reach of world-class dining and shopping at Pier Park.
