Henderson Beach St. Pk.

It looks like a decent site. Henderson Bch is a great park and Destin is designed for tourists. Good seafood dining is plentiful. See details and pics here;

Has anyone been to Henderson beach State park enough to know about site #47 D?
Also what about sight seeing in the Destin area? Thanks, planning a late April trip.

It helps others to reply to your post if you put the State in your subject line as the rules indicate.

The National Weather Service only recognizes one town in the continental United States by the name of "Destin". That narrowed it down for me.

We stayed there this summer. Beautiful area, Henderson has no sewer hookups though....otherwise it's a beautiful park. Very friendly rangers and work kampers..Click on the links below. Under Big Rig Campsites, scroll down to Henderson State Beach Park under Destin...Dennis

We do Destin every year but opt for Topsail Hill SP just down the road (we like FHU).

I agree with you 1000 percent, but don't see where it listed in the rules. Can you point me in the right direction?

We love this park, in fact we will be there last week of April. The beach is one of the best in the US. Rent a boat and cruise the bay with many bars and restaurants on the water. There is a party spot under the bridge with shallow water and it gets lots of boats anchored and partying. The restaurant row at the bridge allows dogs. I have chartered an off shore fishing boat and limited out on king fish within sight of the high rise condos. If you are into the beach life you will really like Destin.

Almost all the sites in Henderson State Park are decent. It is one of those places that have only good and better sites in our opinion. All of the sites are only a short walk from the beach across a boardwalk. Be sure to check and see what time they lock the gates if you are planning a late arrival.

We have already made a two week reservation there for early November. Have a great time!!

Love the park! There are no bad sites at Henderson! Site 47 is very close to beach path, and bathroom. All of the sites at Henderson are big, and most are private. If you haven't been there, you will love it!

Thanks a lot No negative comments, that speaks well for the park. We drove through this park about 12 yrs ago while visiting Pensacola and I remember thinking how nice it was.
