Beach camping enthusiasts will find direct Gulf access at Camp On The Gulf, where some sites sit directly on the white sand of Miramar Beach. The private RV park accommodates everything from small camper vans to large Class A motorhomes, though maneuvering into the tight sites requires careful backing skills. Staff members assist with parking during busy periods.
Site configurations vary significantly across the property. The premium beachfront row offers sand-level parking but restricts pets and lacks sewer hookups, requiring pump-out service for an additional fee. "Don't shy away from buddy sites…they are some of the best/most spacious," advises Susan & Kevin W.. The second and third rows from the beach provide full hookups with Gulf views, while interior sites feature more shade from palm trees and additional space between neighbors.
The bathhouse facilities include individual rooms with private toilets, sinks, and fully-tiled glass-enclosed showers. A central laundry facility provides large folding tables and rolling carts for transporting clothes. Two swimming pools serve different needs—one covered and heated year-round, the other featuring a water slide. Additional amenities include basketball courts, cornhole sets, a playground, and pool tables.
Access challenges include navigating deep sand for beachfront sites and managing the congested internal roads during peak seasons. Golf cart rentals cost $5 daily and prove helpful for hauling gear and laundry. The campground sits between Destin and Seaside, with food delivery options available from nearby restaurants. For additional accommodations in the area, campers can explore camping near Miramar Beach.
Book beachfront sites well in advance, especially for winter months when three-month packages become available around $1,000 monthly.
Description
In 1937, our grandmother took her first trip to the panhandle of northern Florida and found pristine beauty in the crystal white beaches and the aqua blue waters. This unforgettable experience prompted her to take many more trips to South Walton with her family over the years. In 1968, our family's love for the area culminated with the purchase of this property, and we have been operating as a campground ever since.
South Walton has experienced a tremendous transformation over the decades, but our goal of sharing this area with our guests has never wavered. Whether you have been staying with us for years, or if you have never visited us before, we are excited for you to experience the same beauty that captivated our grandmother over 85 years ago!
