Camping Wedding Florida State Park

Check out Topsail State Park. It's in that area real nice.

St Andrews is in Panama City, I would recommend Topsail Hill State Park.

I too would check out Topsail, the have a nice meeting room building by the lake you could use. They call it the "Club House"

For anybody not wanting to tent, they also have nice rental cabins.

Topsail would be my first choice and Henderson next.

This is interesting. Her requirements are close to beach, more secluded campsites for campfires. For those that do not want to camp, we figured we would give them a list of hotels in the area. The cabins sounded great until we found out you cannot rent them by the night, only by the week.

Just talked to them on the phone, they rent by the day and week with a two night stay minimum on the weekends

Something strange here. I saw the "weeks only wording" also. I went to the reservation system and tried Oct. 1 for one night only. The system showed me multiple cabins for one night.

A call to the park may clear this up: (850) 267-8330

If you would consider going further south, Myakka River State Park outside Sarasota has a nearly perfect set up for your needs. They do weddings there often. No beach though.

Thanks but she/ they really want it on the beach. I will call them about the cabin rentals. Thanks for all the hep everyone. :)

There was a wedding at Henderson Beach State Park on the beach while we were there a few years ago. It was very pretty. The campground there is nice too.

There are several nice hotels and condos close by. The Henderson Inn is also adjacent to the park. I have never stayed there but it looks very nice.

Thanks everyone. She ended up choosing St Andrews SP. We were really waffling between Henderson and Andrews, but we were able to reserve a block of campsites at the very end of the park away from everyone. She likes the privacy that these sites have to offer. She also likes the rustic look of it. We were able to book the last pull-through they had available at the other end of the park for our rig. No problem as we will just ride our bikes down to them. This is for next October, so the park is filling up quick.
