Perdido Key, destin gulf shores

Hi all. Need some recommendations for a campground on the beach in this area. We have 8 kids so would prefer a little bigger sites. Playgrounds. Definitely campgrounds where we have a whole days worth of stuff to do. State campgrounds work well too.

Thanks.

    We have camped at Topsail in Destin and Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores. Both are beautiful! Topsail has a shuttle to the beach, but you can walk to the beach at both campgrounds. Both have a pool, but the pool at Gulf State Park is much larger. Both towns (Destin and Gulf Shores) have the usual tourist things to do...putt putt golf, go-carts. Gulf State Park has a zip line course that is a lot of fun, as well as an extensive system of bike paths. Of the two, we prefer Gulf State Park.


    The zip line is gone but it is still a very good park


    The zip line has been moved to the Wharf in Orange Beach. Just re-opened this weekend.
