About Us

---

Playa del Rio is a boutique RV Resort located on beautiful Perdido Key, Florida, an island located between Pensacola, Florida and Orange Beach, Alabama.  The PDR is the only RV Park on the Gulf Coast with its own Private Beach Access on the Gulf of Mexico just across from our entrance and its own Private Boat Marina on Ole' River on the bayside end of the resort.  Located less than one-half mile from the AL / FL state line where the world-famous Flora Bama is located makes the PDR the perfect vacation location conveniently located near everything you need.  You can spend your days at the resort fishing, crabbing, boating, swimming, kayaking, combing the beach for shells, soaking up the sun or just napping in a hammock.  Or, you can venture out to one of the many local attractions, amusement parks, zoos, museums, lifestyle centers, golf courses, shopping centers, music venues, or selections of great bars and awesome restaurants.  

The Playa del Rio RV Resort has 26 back-in RV sites and accepts up to 42' Motorhomes, 42' Fifth Wheels, 38' Travel Trailers (end-to-end size) and self-contained Truck Campers; and the Playa del Rio Marina has 9 boat slips and accepts up to 34' boats.  We do not offer any boat or trailer storage.  The Playa del Rio loves pets, and we have a small dog park for your little family members!  The Playa del Rio has a 24-hour laundry facility and a beautiful waterfront riverside pavilion for your enjoyment with a cooking pavilion, picnic area, crab and fishing dock and lots of places to relax and enjoy paradise.   For your convenience we have an ice maker and offer ice to our guests for your boating and beach time.

All of our sites are Full Hookup sites with 30/50 Amp Power, Water, Sewer and Cable; and we have complimentary WIFI throughout the resort.  The Playa del Rio is ... Just a Little Laid Back RV Park at the Beach ™  ... where ... It's like Living in a Postcard ™
