Campgrounds in the area

[kathydwells]

Does anyone know of any Campgrounds in the area besides, Grayton Beach State Park, and Topsail? My dad and stepmom want to come up while we are there in July and want to find a place to camp. Topsail and GBSP, are full up. Are there any in the Panama City Beach area or Destin that anyone knows about. Or any other in the Santa Rosa Beach Area? Thanks for any info.

Camping on the Gulf over by the outlet mall:

Camping on the Gulf .... Holiday Travel Park ... Destin, Florida

Other state parks on the beach nearby are St. Andrews on the far east side of PCB, and Henderson Beach in Destin (which I think now has camping)

Rocky Bayou SP in the Niceville/Bluewater area is a bit of a hike from central and eastern SoWal, but about 15-20 minutes from the Crystal Beach area of Destin.

What do they need? RV hook ups? I don't have plumbing and electric hook ups, but if they need a back up plan, and have plenty of garden hose, they can park at my house for a week, right beside the water. Plenty of room to stretch out.

Thank you!

SJ, how sweet of you to offer. I will find out more info from them. They have a 5th wheel and would need electric and water. Also they will be traveling with an old doggie, and 3 cats. The cats stay in the RV all the time, they don't go out. China the Chow is very old and she just hangs with them. I will pass on the info that beachmouse posted and see if they can find something. If not, I may be getting back to you. ;-)

Really?? Since when? I just drove by there & saw RV's parked. Maybe they are empy? The website still works also... Hmmmm...

My kids want to camp there - they will be sad to know if this is true...

Hmmmm...the website is up and they are taking reservations. The week my dad would want it is booked though.

I love St. Andrews State Park campground.

Don't take my word for it. Take a few minutes and try to give them a call. The land was just worth more for things other than camping, even though it appear to be pricey for camping. They have been getting people out of there for a year or pretty close to it. give them a call.

Called them and found out they are open and they have no intentions of closing. "Not ever" according to the person that answered the phone. Apparently they get this every year. The person I talked to was quite nice about it and laughed it off.

Tebo - check your info before mentioning. This is how rumors get started...
