Florida gulf coast campgrounds
Can anyone tell me of any campgrounds that are located directly on the Gulf? I know about Camp Gulf, but it is so expensive. How about somewhere further south? Any information is appreciated!

If you want to see the "real" Florida forget about RV resorts in the southern part of the state. The only real thing left down there are the alligators and mosquitoes. Real Florida is along the Gulf Coast from about Crystal River to Pensacola, mid-state from Ocala to Milton, and north Florida from St Augustine to Fernandino Beach. You can camp on rivers with huge white sandbars that rival any beach, explore beautiful springs, drive on canopied roadways, visit quaint little towns, the whole nine yards. Deep in the Everglades is still "real" but hard to get to. lizzie
Go to THIS LINK and click on the regions to see the parks on the coast. The only one to stay away from is Topsail - INMO.
The real Florida is still alive and well, you just have to know where to look. Hint: it's not in South Florida apart from 4 state parks in the keys and a big swamp they call the Everglades.
