Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had a FABULOUS stay here. We booked a short weekend trip in the cabin. It’s a very beautiful space, inside and out. I was pleasantly surprised at how close the river is. There are multiple access points to the river. Nancy was friendly and informative. We appreciate that we can buy wood on site! Everyone was respectful and quiet during the night. We are happy this place is pet friendly!
We are from Pensacola and were thrilled to find an RV park that includes tent sites with water and electricity. The Retreat is a super easy drive from Pensacola. The manager, Nancy, is a wonderful host and keeps things running smoothly. She was very flexible and gave us options for us to find just the right spot to set up camp. We loved the pretty grassy areas, fun playground for the kids (including a jumpy castle), and the wooded pavilions were a great place to ride out the rain storm! At night, the trees are lit up with twinkle lights and it is so pretty! The bathrooms were very clean. We were fortunate the campground was not packed, because with only 4 toliets and 2 showers, it could be a problem. Many of the tent site areas are very close together. If there had been more people there, it would be too close for comfort for me! Overall, we enjoyed our stay. It was peaceful and relaxing-which is always our main reason for camping.
My girlfriend and I are on our bi-annual spontaneous camping road trip, we pack the car and head out without any direction or plans, we figure it all out along the way. Our adventure brought us to The Retreat and we are so happy it did. From the moment I talked with Nancy on the phone I knew it was going to be super laid back. She checked us in as if we were staying at the Ritz Carlton, she told us everything there was to do and Randy was awesome as well. Extremely friendly and welcoming. We did tent camping with power and water and it was well worth it. Our campsite had plenty of trees to hang the hammocks, was super close to the Styx river that this time of year is incredibly refreshing. The showers and bathrooms were super clean, to be honest the entire place is EXTREMELY well kept. Thank you for helping us have a super relaxing 2 night stay!!
I traveled from MS for a day pass and to use their river access. Even if I wasn't using their amenities, restrooms, play areas etc..., $10 was a good deal. They have a dedicated area for day trippers to park and relax. Unfortunately I didn't really get a chance to try my kayak. The current was so strong from all the recent rain, I gave up. It started to thunderstorm also so I'll just go with that excuse. As such I just hangout for awhile, using the picnic areas to read and rest until the brewery nearby opened. The camp grounds looked good. Everything was clean and free of trash and debris. Staff was friendly and helpful. It wasn't full but lots didn't appear to be too close together. I only saw a handful of spots on/near the riverbank though. Worth a detour or stay.
