
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! 

Camp On The Gulf

We had a good time camping here. The beach was beautiful. We did see a lot of jellyfish in the water so be aware of that. We even caught one in a fishing net. The week we were there they had a different activity for the kids each day. They had painting sand dollars, bubba the alligator show, face painting and even an Easter egg hunt. They have 2 pools one is covered and heated with a hot tub. They have basketball courts, corn hole, a playground even pool tables. The staff is super helpful helping you to park because the spaces are tight. We also rented a cart buggy to haul our stuff to and from the beach for $5 a day and it came in handy taking laundry to the laundry area. The restrooms were very clean and they have individual shower rooms that have a toilet and sink too. We enjoyed ourselves and will be back here to beautiful Destin.

Spring break visit

Parking your rig is TIGHT. Like super tight. 2 nice pools and all other amenities like Wi-Fi, laundry, sewer, etc. Easy access to local shopping and dining.

Gulf front camping with good amenities.

We love this spot. We stayed in spot 117 with my rooftop tent, Setup perfectly. Power, water, and cable if needed. Bathrooms and showers are very nice. Beach is a very short walk away and gorgeous white sand with clear water. Friendly staff. Will stay again. 

Loved it. RTT friendly

Wow, what a nice place. I’m sure the experience would be even better if it were not the middle of a pandemic. This place offers a lot. Salt, sand and sun. What more does a family need? The laundry was lacking and of course some of the facilities were closed due to social distancing. The campground is in a great location to shopping and the grocery. A clean private beach and 2 separate pools in the campground offer all the water fun kids can possibly have. The campground also has some really good food trucks that come through in case dinner would be to much after a day at the beach. 

IN THE SAND! 

We visited here in August, of course with the COvid-19 scare everyone was cautious.  The sites are tight but most are very level and have full hookups.. the sites at beach side do lot have full hookups and you pay a premium for the site but also have to pay again to have your sewer pumped out.. the sites just at the top of the beach sites have a great view but no trees or shade.. the sites beyond the pool and activity center have trees and shade.. short walk to the beach.. the staff is nice but firm on rules, maybe a little over zealous due to the congested space.  Don’t park your golf cart in the wrong spot! I would suggest a less congested time to visit. Early Spring or late Summer/fall. 

Beautiful location 

Just as nice as a resort but here you have direct access to the sand, because you can park directly on the beach! No need for shoes if you get a site on the sand. Sites are very tight here, but daytime staff escorts help you back into your site. Lush foliage and palms provide some division between sites and facility buildings. The showers and laundry houses are well above average and super cute, actually. The first beachfront row books out far in advance, but the drawbacks are that you cannot have dogs on that row (or on the beach) and you have to maneuver your tires in deep sand. The soft, white sand here is a dream on your feet but quite a challenge to park a big rig on. Still, you see plenty of Class A and toy haulers here. I stayed in site 705 on the second row from the beach and it was ideal for dogs. Beach front site 805 never showed up so I had a direct view to the waves for two nights. With everyone’s AC units on, you cannot hear the waves as you might have hoped, but the stars were very visible. This beach is really spacious and clean (besides being anti-dog), and the steep $125/night is justified when you step directly from your RV into the sand. The downside was really just the tightness of the sites. My neighbor’s awning nearly touched my camper on one side and I could not open my umbrella due to my other neighbor’s slide out. I would have been in trouble in this site had I had slide outs too. The two pools (water slide), kid-friendly food truck, and clubhouse seemed to keep the hordes of children entertained. Conveniently located near Sandestin on Miramar Beach between Destin and the cute resort town of Seaside. Lots of delivery food options nearby and Holi Indian Kitchen was particularly delicious (and vegan friendly). Can’t wait to return and stay longer next time.

Park On the Beach!

My daughter and I had a great stay...until the tiny biting bugs got In Our Dodge Ram Promaster and we couldn’t get them out. We had to spray our bedding down w bug spray but it didn’t work so then we had to bag all the bedding into trash bags and sleep on the mattress without blankets. We couldn’t open the vents or the bugs would come in so we slept with all the windows/vents  closed and inhaled the bug spray all night. We both woke up after a fitful night of non sleep all swollen from the chemicals. 
Besides that it was the best RV park ever! A bit crowded but we had a nice spots that was at the end near the beach backed up to a fence so it felt fairly private. The bathhouse was nice. A lot of private showers. Just don’t try to use them at peak time before dinner because it will be busy and u will have to wait for one. 

On the beach! But buggy.

Plenty of trees, swimming pool and the staff was very friendly. 

Nice and clean

This campground is really beautiful. Has two pools and everything else! Has the most beautiful beach in itire golf of Mexico ! The only set back, is the price : $ 257 for directly on the beach,  and the rest are : $ 185 . It is very pricey!

Super nice !

This park has something for everyone. Up top away from the beach the level sites have plenty of shade. Beachfront sites are tight but you have the ocean at your doorstep. Campgulf has several cabin and glamping options to give the non-camper plenty of options.

Location Location Location 

Great camp ground! Facilities are clean and everyone has been so nice. They are currently going through management changes. But the staff has still be great. Depending on the size of your RV, get ready to test out those driving skills. Some camp sites are in tight areas to maneuver. But all the space you need once your setup. My family had site 215, while staying here. Walks to the beach are not to far at all. WiFi is not the best, but better than some state parks we have visited. Our site had level solid ground so it made setup easy as well. If you ask my thoughts on Camp Gulf… I’d tell you we are already booked again for next year. 

Camp Gulf

Super cool RV park. It has a heated pool and a hot tub. Fantastic playground over sand. A turtle pond, laundry facility, bathhouse and on the beach. We loved it in December. ￼

Awesome RV Park

We had an awesome time at Camping on the Gulf (Camp Gulf). My husband and I took our 4 kids and they loved it there. They can’t stop talking about it and are ready to go back. The campground is right on the Gulf of Mexico with some sites right on the sand. We were in a pull through and it was a bit tight and small, but really that was my only complaint with the campground. The sites in the back of the park were roomier and had some shade, which I think made up for them not being as close to the ocean. The bath houses were awesome!  They had individual bathrooms with a toilet, sink and fully tiled shower with glass enclosure. These were by far the best bathhouses I have ever seen. There is a large laundry in the middle of the campground and it was very clean with a huge table for folding clothes on and large rolling carts to put your laundry in when you take them out of the washer or dryer. There were also 2 pools, one of which was heated. This was great because it was still pretty cold at the beginning of April. There is a large water slide beside the main pool. They also had lots of activities for the kids. My kids made lots of friends and really hated to have to leave. In addition to campsites they also have glamping tents which looked really neat and cabins/tiny houses for rent.  Additionally they offered golf cart rentals and had a food truck located inside that park. We ordered nachos from it one night and they were great. 

Spring Break at Camping on The Gulf

Short walk to the beach. Sites are close together $200/night 

Great campground in a fantastic location. Can’t be closer to the beach. 

loved it

We had great but tight camping just 10 steps from the beautiful sandy beach. Lots of great and clean amenities. Very nice people running the campground and very nice people around us. The beach is beautiful.
