This is one of our favorite parks. We were there twice last year. Boat lauch available. Water and electric only; dump station in park.
If you like walking on the beach, reading, fishing, or bicycling, this is the place for you. All restaurants, fast food, grocery (other than two convenience type stores) or other things are about 30 miles away. Take everything you need with you.
Ocean Breeze loop is pretty easy to see on Google Earth, more open with some concrete pads; best in summer months because of the air circulation.
Piney Woods loop has more growth between sites and more shade; lots of bugs in the summer due to lack of sea breeze penetrating the forest. Best in winter because the trees can block the cold winds. Some concrete pad sites as well.
There is a tackle shop next to the only gas station on the peninsula, but he closes the Sunday after Thanksgiving each year and I am pretty sure that he opens back up in March.
Hope this helps.
BTW, we like Henderson Beach in Destin too; just much smaller but near all the shopping, eateries, and conjestion.
