I have reservastions for henderson beach sp for a stop over (2 nights)on our way to disney. I also have reservations for topsail sp (2 nights also) for the trip home. topsail was quite a bit more for the same amount of nights. is topsail that much better? kind of curious what the big difference is.

FHU...cable tv...pool...etc... haven't been to henderson, but I don't think it has all that.

Topsail was a private campground that the state of Florida bought and is a great park. Henderson was built as a state park. Henderson is a great state park and compared to other state parks would rank right up there.

Have been to Topsail several times, very nice reminds me of Fort Wilderness. I will be there Jan. 9-12, 2014 for an Airstream Rally. Go to the back loop the one hundred section, I think I am in 167 this time so look around there.

That's a hard one to call. Henderson's main fault is no sewer and smaller. "BUT" it's in the middle of everything if your wife likes to shop like Miss Sue. Sites are crushed limestone and roomy with large bushes separating you from your neighbor. Very quiet except for traffic noise from US98. No cable but you can get Ft. Walton, Pensacola, Panama City and Dothan?? on your antenna and good satellite reception. Topsail is more remote as you can't really walk to anything outside the park but there's a Wally World just down the road and good restaurants within 5mi. It has it all, paved sites, 50A, sewer and cable. Quite a walk to the beach on a private path which the tram also runs. If you have bikes they will be appreciated. Same beautiful beach just 5+ mi. difference. Much more traffic within the park unless you're on a site near the rear. *And it has a pool. Both are great parks and hard to make a choice so take whichever one has an open space.EnjoyDave
