- jplante4Explorer IIWe liked Jetty Park. Nice beach (although the campground is not ON the beach), cruise ships going by all the time, and if you time it right (we didn't) a rocket launch. The NASA rocket museum is close by and there are several restaurants on the harbor wall.
There are 2 sections. The eastern end has more shade and is closer to the beach.
Edit: Went looking through my pix for a pic of the beach but all I had was cruise ships. - dockmasterdaveExplorerOr go on the facebook page for Florida RV Camping.
The same question comes up there regularly. - JoeHExplorer IIITurtle Beach RV park and Coral Sands are both on the beach
- Mark_and_LindaExplorerI hope you find a good one near the beach. I sure wouldn't camp on the beach...just my thoughts. Weight...etc.
- FloridaReLoadedExplorerYou can't get much closer than these sites, easy walk to the beach. You can hear the waves from your site most nights. T H Stone Memorial Saint Joseph

I know there's at least one campground where your RV is right on the beach in the sand....can anyone provide a name for the campground(s)?
Thanks
East coast of Florida >> Beverly Beach Campground in Palm Coast
West Coast of Florida >> Red Cocunuts in North Ft Myers - ChiefcpoExplorerCheck out Narravra beach, Sanabel island (spelling incorrect but close)
- travelnutzExplorer IIShired Island Campground about 25 miles SW of Cross City FL on very good pave roads. It's small and is true camping right on the sand beach on the Gulf. Has a long very nice fishing pier out into the Gulf for fishing or the great sunsets or just exploring or bench sitting watching the world go by. Not fancy at all but very unique. Has very simple flush Bathrooms and electric at the site but no fresh water for RV tanks so bring your own with you.
We were there again about 2-1/2 months ago for a beach visit before we headed back north as usual so we know what is there presently. Not expensive at all and county owned. It's between Horseshoe Beach and Suwannee small towns. The mouth of the very long wide Suwannee River is at the little town of Suwannee, FL. - mikestockExplorer

Camp Gulf, Destin fl
Thank you! That is the one I was trying to find. But oh, the prices!
Stayed there several times in our first popup in 1971. It was called Holiday Inn Campground. The price was outrageous back then too. I believe beachfront sites were $12/night.
The place was isolated. There was one roach motel about a mile west and Destin was the next developed area with one grocery store and a few fishing boat rentals. No condos.
