Camping on the Gulf is right on the beach in Destin, FL. There are two basic section of the campground, the upper, grass section and the lower Beach section. The upper grass section has very nice sites with level concrete pads and patio. The sites give you ample space but most sites have very little vegitation for privacy between sites. All of these sites are perpendicular to the road and the road is kind of tight. It can be difficult to bigger rigs in these sites but the campground always has at least one staff member assit with parking (sometimes this is a good thing and some times, not so much). Bath houses are very nice and decently roomy and each is built like a family room with potty, shower and sink in every stall. The lower Beach area sites are mostly sand and have full hook ups except for the 10 to 15 sites that are directly on the beach which only have elec. and water. There is a pretty good camp store and activity building with a secondary store, two pools, fitness center and business center. They are very strict on the speed limit in this park (even on a bike). Because this campground is so tight, it has a little "stiff" feeling and is not as kid friendly as some others but is a nice place, especially if you want to be right on the beach. It is pricey, approaching or over $100/nt for beach sites during prime season. Upper sites during prime season run around $70 or $80.

Parks are about 5 miles apart I think. Thought I would post what I know about the parks we frequent in case passers through are looking for info.
