Couldn't talk my wife out of it. She insisted on going back to Destin for spring break 2017. I wanted to head further south. But unfortunately, I was able to squeeze 4 nights in at Grayton Beach SP (amongst 2 different sites) and 3 nights at Topsail Hill Preserve SP. Oh well will give some new content to the YouTube channel. lolLooked at Camp Gulf, but at their rate of anything from $85-192/nite, we are staying 7 nights for less than $280. Can't beat the savings. Gas there and back will cost me $500 let alone....lol

We are more campers than RVers and Grayton Beach is our absolute favorite SP in that part of Florida. In our opinion you can't go wrong with that choice and while you're in that area check out Eden SP. Not very far from there and only a mile off 98. Just a day use park with a very nice old Victorian mansion and great grounds to walk through for a pleasant day.

If they could move Topsail to Grayton's location, then it would be better. Our daughter didn't want to do Grayton because it doesn't have the pool or the wifi. Plus the fact that when we mentioned that we could ride bikes into Seaside, she really hated us...lolThankfully Topsail was a lot harder to get into...We will have to check out Eden SP. Anything to give us some good video content.

We did Topsail last spring. Make sure you stop at the Donut Hole for b'fast.Did you try to get into Henderson Beach SP?

x2 onEden State Park for a nice 2 or 3 hours. 4 or 5 dollars per vehicle.

We don't make it out for breakfast. Tend to sleep in too late and by the time we all get up, showered and ready to go, it would be nearly lunch time...lolI get up at 4:30 in the morning every day for work. When I have a day off, I don't get to sleep in much past 7am. Sometimes it's nice not to have to get up until my body wants me to...
