I can't believe this place is not the #1 campground in the United States. This is the nicest, the most unique, the most fantastic park in North America that I have found, and I know that opinion is shared by many. If you are looking for a campground that is right on the beach- not across the street, not a mile away, but right on the water- this is it. If you don't like sand, you might reconsider. If you want a shaded, well landscaped site, this is not the place for you. But, if you want the beach, there are NONE better. I've been camping here for almost 20 years, and this is, by far, my favorite campground. Maybe my favorite place! Far enough out of Destin to avoid all the crowds- it just doesn't get any better. It's not cheap in the summer, that is for sure. But, there is a reason why people are willing to shell out $165 a night for a CAMPSITE!! Not all are that expensive,but if you want to be the closest to the beach during the peak, summer weeks, that's what you'll have to pay. Not a week, but a night. And, there's no sewer- you'll have to pay $10 every time you want your tank pumped out. The fact that you have to reserve a spot about 1 year in advance to get the pleasure to spend $165 a night for a tight campsite should tell you something. Well worth it. Lifetime memories. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is the only park on the ocean in Destin. That is the only reason to pay the $100+ per night. Try to get a spot closest to the beach along the sides. The spots near the highway weren't as nice. The spots are very close with no landscaping in between for privacy. Pools were very clean, nice, with perfect temp. Bathrooms were very clean with nice hot showers. We were steps from the beach, which was a plus. The breeze from the ocean helped keep the 'no-see-ums' away. Staff was nice, 1/2 mile from outlets, big campground. I would have rather stayed at Topsail in a site in the 100's -very nice sites but not on the ocean. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Would have given a 10 rating except for a few things. WiFi was very weak. Had to cross my fingers every time I would try to log on. Also, the water pressure was extremely poor. The pool was closed the whole time and that is one thing I wanted. You don't necessarily want to be on the beach for the whole week you are there. I found the staff to be friendly and helpful. We stayed in the upper park area. It was well worth the price. Very shady and comfortable spot. We have a 40 foot rig so our steps came out onto the grassy area instead of the pad which seems to be made more for a fifth wheel. But it was OK with a little rug. Would definitely stay here again. The beach was just picturesque. Beautiful. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I don't know what the previous campers were looking for, but this is a very nice military campground. The staff were friendly and helpful, camp and showers were clean and well kept. We would not hesitate to return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I can't believe the previous write-ups. The RV Parking is no more than a parking lot resembling a RV park. Sites were so small that accommodating a 40ft 5th wheel AND a one ton truck was nearly impossible. Had we stayed we would have been right on top of our neighbors with no room for an awning. Entry into park was very tight and narrow as were the roads inside the park. All concrete and asphalt does not make for great living. We had a month booked here and ended up going elsewhere for the extra room. Had I been in a motorhome with a small toad and not staying very long I would have stayed, but not for an extended time. Attendant at the desk was not very friendly, A smile goes a long way when greeting people for the first time, maybe he didn't know how to smile. We would not come here again.... We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The campground is nice and clean with every amenity, but it is has a very narrow cobblestone road. We have a very large truck and a 36 foot fifth wheel which made it almost impossible to back into the site. Everything else was very nice. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We have been enjoying this park for the last six years and plan to return. Although small, the landscaping and overall appearance of the park is outstanding. During our last visit, we were also impressed with the managements cooperation and flexiablility. I must admit, the cost is getting out of control. With the basic high price, the registration fee, water fee, and the need to purchase "travel insurance" to recoup anything in case of a cancelation the park may be pricing itself out of bussiness. The "no refunds" policy needs a relook! Anyway, I hope they can get there prices back in line so we can continue to enjoy the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A very clean park but tiny sites. They are very narrow with very small patio. I barely have room for my hammock and almost no room for my toad, as I am on a curve and afraid my toad will get hit by a big rig trying to make the corner. As said before, the park is no5 in Destin, but east at Miramar Beach and is a 5 minute walk to the beach. It is not in sight from the campground. It seems to be very payment orientated. No refunds within a month of arrival and very pricey to boot! We are here only because of short notice of a wedding we needed to attend. There are quite a few open sites and it's spring break. Maybe too costly? We won't be back. It's just not worth it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We full time and have a granddaughter in Destin. We never want to pay the high rates for on the beach parks so we were glad to find this park. It's a short walk to the beach and set back from all the traffic of the beach drive. Sites are large and easy to get into. Staff is great. The only drawback is finding the park. The town has not let them post signs on the road to the park so print the map from their web site and you will be fine. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We just came back from this campground in Destin and we thought that it was very clean and quiet. Restrooms were immaculate. Children are allowed but there isn't much for them to do there in the resort itself (no playground or pool). The lovely beach 2 blocks away was beautiful. You access it through the public entrance on the right side of the Beach House Condominiums, it was very close . Liked that there was more space between the sites compared with Destin RV and Camping on the Gulf. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is 3/10 of a mile from the ocean off Alternate 98. Large cement pads and grassy area at each site. The rating was 9, instead of 10, only because there is no swimming pool or picnic tables. The rate is excellent for this area. We will definitely stay here again. We stayed in a motorhome. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I would give this park a ten but.... no sewer hook-ups and a little road noise since you are right off the inter coastal hwy. If you do have to dump your tanks during tour stay the park designed the dump station wide enough where most rigs can do a u-turn and drive back to your spot. Other than that the park was spotless, staff was extremely friendly, bath/shower house were clean and the beach was amazing with no crowds. My wife and I will definitely return. We were in spot 6 and were amazed at how much space there was between campsites. Also, you leave the park and you are right in the middle of shopping,restaurants and entertainment. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I cannot give it a 10 since it does not have sewer. But it is a very nice camp ground. The sites are wide and well spaced with nice new picnic tables and gravel surface. Easy to get level. The bath houses were spotless. It is about a 1/4 mile walk to the beach over a new boardwalk. the beach is wide and clean with white sand. the only negative is that there is some road noise. the park is located right off the main highway and there is shopping and a WalMart right at the entrance to the park. There is no cable or wifi. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed at this park at the end of April. It is a wonderful park. The location could not be better. You get the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere while in the campground, but just outside the park gate is all that Destin has to offer - great seafood, shopping, and entertainment. The sites have plenty of space, fire rings, and clothes lines. The staff cleans each site after a camper departs. They even rake the gravel and scoop out ash from the fire ring. The white sand beach was always uncrowded even though the weather was warm and sunny. The only thing to be aware of is that it is a long stroll down a boardwalk to get to the beach. The boardwalk and beach are ADA accessible, and the walk is really very nice and relaxing. Each morning flags are posted showing water conditions in the area. There are also fresh water spray off areas at the entrance/exit to the boardwalk leading to the beach. For pet lovers, like us, the park has poopie clean up bags located around the campground loops and bathroom areas, so it makes it easy for pet parents to clean up after their furry children. Be aware, dogs are not allowed on the beach, and we were told that dog owners can get a hefty ticket if they ignore the no dogs on the beach rule. My family cannot wait to go back! Make sure you book early, the campground was full to capacity each night we were there. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
