Campground recommendations for the FL panhandle

Hello,
We are looking to go to the panandle somewhere around Pensecola-Destin-Panama City (flexible). Have never been there, so looking for recommendations from those who have. I'd like to stay near, but not on, a beach, close enough to go back and forth a couple times a day. Would like to camp where it feels like a campground, ie, quiet, shade trees, etc. with full hookups for 40ft 5th wheel. Oh, and we have a dog. And a teenager. Other site-seeing in the area is welcome..
Thanks!

    Drove thru this campground years ago when it was called Magnolia campgrounds I believe, and it was pretty run down or maybe not even open, but beautiful trees. Looks like the new owners have done a great job!!

    I've also been checking out state park campgrounds on the panhandle. if they are anything like Wisconsin state parks:
    1. find out the booking window.
    2. be on your computer and ready to reserve within 1 second of the window opening.
    3. pray (a lot)!
