Factual details and direct answers about Lanark Village Historic Gulf Coast Retirement Community & Carrabelle / Alligator Point 55+ Coastal RV Resort Corridor's services, licensing, and credentials.
What makes Lanark Village unique among Florida Gulf Coast retirement communities?
Lanark Village was converted after World War II from the brick quarters of the U.S. Army's Camp Gordon Johnston into one of Florida's earliest affordable Gulf Coast retirement villages. Its single-story brick bungalows sit on high coastal bluff land overlooking St. George Sound along US-98 just east of Carrabelle. Unlike modern deed-restricted 55+ subdivisions with high monthly HOA fees, Lanark Village homes are owned fee-simple with no mandatory HOA dues, while the volunteer Lanark Village Association (#700527) operates Chillas Hall (159 Heffernan Dr) with low-cost optional membership for social activities.

Ho-Hum RV Park (2132 Scenic Hwy 98 E, Carrabelle, (850) 697-3926) in Lanark Village is an adult-oriented waterfront park directly on St. George Sound with a 250-foot private fishing pier and active winter snowbird community, while Carrabelle Beach RV Resort (1843 Hwy 98 W, Carrabelle, (850) 697-2638) offers resort amenities including a heated pool, clubhouse, and fitness center across from Carrabelle Beach.
