If your'e in need of hookups this wont apply...much of the Texas coast is free...on the beach...up to the water if you so choose and bait casting, no problem...surf fishing, no problem...some of the best Gulf beaches any where.

Shrimp Festival starts on Oct 10th thru the weekend, best get reservations soon. Gulf State Park was pretty full last year.
Come on down and enjoy.

We have stayed here for a couple weeks for last 2 summers. PaPa Roccos across from site is a good hole in the wall eatery. The Hangout is great entertainment. Putt Putt golf 1 block from sites.

Luxury Rv Park is great. Close to the beach. Short walk or bike ride..

If you are speaking of the Panhandle Gulf beaches.....then for fishing, ou an't beat the St. Joe Peninsula State Park. Otherwise, for access to beach, large sites, and amenities nearby, Henderson Beach State Park is our favorite. Have a great time. Phillip

thanks everyone for the replies. we like to throw our nets and get bait , then surf fish, and ride our bikes. sounds like the state park is the way to go. we talked to a woman at perdido bay, full hookups and cable but almost 100.00/night. kinda steep i think. only planning to stay a few days before going up to ft. payne to visit family we haven't seen for a while. thanks again.

You can always go to Gulf State Park, a block from the gulf. In october you should not have any problems getting a spot. The park has come a long way since all the hurricanes. November 1st starts their snowbird rate, that is worth checking out if you are planning on staying longer. Semper Fi

This is as close to the gulf as you'll get camping, great place!

there are not any campgrounds directly on the gulf that i am aware of. we have stayed at luxury rv resort which is about 3/4 mile north of the beach. it was really nice but had zero trees. (would not stay here in summer). we stayed the first of august at gulf state park and it was an extreamly nice campground for a state park. you also get free parking at the public beach with your stay. the entrance to the actual campground is about 1/2 mile north of the beach. we had a pull through site on it was very nice.
there are some high dollar campgrounds up on wolf bay but someone said they are class A only.
