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 ...

Fort Pickens is National Park Service - 14 nights at a time - 2 nights out between stays - and no more than 14 nights between March 1 and Labor Day - no more than 42 nights in a year.
The COE sites are also 14 days - but you need to check with the individual CG - some allow longer stays in the cold weather months.
Salt Springs has a 180 day stay limit for some sites between Oct 15 and April 15 - but you can only reserve 21 days on-line. Currently the Salt Springs sites are all listed as walkup only. Need to call the park if you want to stay longer.
What I read is that it is very crowded this time of year.
There are a lot of seniors who do the 14 day shuffle between to COE campgrounds on the same lake. Burns Run East and Burns Run West are popular on Lake Texoma - about five miles apart and 50/W/S is $24 regular / $12 senior pass - 30 days camping for $360.
Some months the electric bill alone for my home near Dallas is that much.
