There are a number of SPs along the gulf coast from Pensacola, east to Sopchoppy, Fl. If none are available, call the City of Sopchoppy and check on the city park, Myron B Hodge. They have about 28 sites on the Sopchoppy River, 16 FHUs and 12 W&E for same price, $15/nite. Mostly, only locals use the park. It's a small town, quiet park about 5 miles to the beach. Wakula Springs SP is nearby. No camping permitted, but a great day trip to one of the largest natural springs in the world. Kids of all ages would enjoy. The fish houses along the coast that serve the dives and public are supplied by a small working waterfront. The seafood will be fresh. Roadside stands offer fruits and veggies in season and you can also pick up some local gourmet sauces and preserves. I recommend the Tupelo Honey from the area. Superb table quality, distinctive flavor, and resists granulation. The pace is slow and the traffic is relatively lite along the "Forgotten Coast" (Mexico Bch to St. Mark's Lighthouse).
Double ditto. Nice little town too. Less Disney, more Mayberry.
