Gulf Coast
Can anyone recommend a federal campground on the gulf coast that has the senior passport discount this time of the year. It doesn't have to be on the water, just some place to get away from this damn ...

Davis Bayou Campground of the Gulf Islands National Seashore is located near Ocean Springs, MS - just across the bay from Biloxi. It is a first come/ first served campground for $22 per day / $11 senior pass.
Isaac Creek is a COE site on the Alabama River Lakes about an hour north of Mobile. 50Amp sites are $18 per day - $9 with the Senior Pass.
Eastbank on Lake Seminole Georgia is a COE site just north of Chattahoochee, FL. 50Amp sites are $22 per day - $11 with the Senior Pass.
Down into Florida there is the Salt Springs Campground in the Ocala National Forest, the three COE campgrounds on the cross Florida ICW Canal and the various campgrounds in the Everglades NP.
I haven't camped in any of these - but the COE sites look really good to me.
We have camped many times at Ft. Pickens--going back all the time to when it was a Florida State Park (1962). We have also stayed several times at Issac Creek while visiting friends in Monroeville, AL. Year before last we stayed at Salt Springs Campground in Florida. These are all excellent choices.
