beach campground recommendations in Alabama and Florida

I want to go to Camp Gulf or Red Coconut in Florida. Both have beach front sites that are literally on the sand.

Top Sail in Destin has a shuttle that will take you to the beach. We were there this past summer and it was great. It was almost like being at a private beach because only the RV'ers were using it.

We try to only use state parks and in Florida, we've stayed at Gamble Rogers and Anastasia state parks. Gamble Rogers isn't much of a campground itself, but it's really close to the beach. Anastasia is in St. Augustine and you can ride your bikes on the beach. I would go back to both again.

Gamble Rogers. Standing on the 5th wheel roof. I'm looking for Anastasia photos.

These are all excellent:

Henderson Beach SP in Destin
Topsail Hill Preserve SP in Santa Rosa Beach
Grayton Beach SP in Santa Rosa Beach

Camping on the gulf is great but way to high in cost for the way they pack you in there. Top Sail is my favorite but I also like Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores Alabama not that far past Destin.
Good luck and any of them will be great.

Where do you like to camp when you go to the beach? Looking for something that is close to the beach. Don't mind walking to the beach but would prefer to be as close as possible. I do enjoy sitting and watching the waves roll in! If you have pictures of the area... even better!!

Thanks in advance!!!!

Henderson Beach State Park in Destin Florida. Right on the beach. Campsites are behind the dunes, close enough to hear the waves, but protected from the wind.

A boardwalk from the camp area goes to the beach.

Private, large and level campsites. Easy park to get into and out of and close to everything.

I was there two weeks ago, and had no problem getting a prime beachfront site - they had plenty of vacancies.

Can someone give me some feedback on Grayton beach?

We are volunteering at Henderson Beach State Park. Very nice. It is in Destin, FL.

Thanks! I looked at Henderson SP..unfortunately they have no vacancies for the time I'm looking for this summer. I prefer full hookups and most SP are only water and electric. Any other places? Anyone stay at Rivers End in Tybee Island Ga?

Although not on the beach as I can tell, we're staying at Rocky Bayou state park in Florida over spring break. It gets decent reviews, I hope its nice. We're going at a busy time so theres not much available.
