Grayton Beach State Park Campground

This is a hard location to get a site. Reservations have to be made far in advance. There is good privacy in the campground, with thick brush and trees separating the sites. The restrooms were immaculate. Beautiful beach, only on hiking trail in the main part, but others nearby. There are cabins too. I give it high marks.

Park and CG was not busy or dull considering our January visit. Unique lake dunes offered trails, beach access, and paddling/fishing. CG had good amenities: water, electric, hard pads, tables, showers/rr.

Yet another great Florida State campground!  Florida does it right when it comes to campgrounds, and Grayton is no exception.  The beach is beautiful, fairly secluded and easily accessible.  If you know where to look, (just north of the campground), there is access to a wide range of bike (mountain bike or e-bike) trails.  Grab a fish taco right outside the park.  Park itself is quiet and peaceful.

Wonderful campground! Beautiful beaches. Large sites. Some gravel, some concrete. Most look very level. Older section has more mature trees and vegetation which translates to a little more shade a privacy for now but the sites are all spaced apart with privacy in mind. Some sites are in the water but ours was not. I honestly do not think there is a bad site in the entire campground. Cell service for AT&T was great. Very close to the areas of Grayton Beach, WaterColor, and Seaside (the idyllic town where the movie the Truman Show was filmed). Many great restaurants options very close. Front gate of the park closes at 7:15 so make sure you take the gate code. Bathhouse has great water pressure which is a big deal at some state parks.

We visited for our summer vacation. It was supposed to be a quick 5 day trip. It ended up being 9 days! The park rangers and volunteer staff were awesome and very accommodating. We rented a golf cart and were able to cruise to the beach, dinner and ice cream for the kids. We highly recommend renting or bringing your carts or bikes, there are a lot of things to see and places to go.

Great campground. Our sites (9 & 35) were private and shady. Location is great. Convenient to bike into several communities. Lake an beach are perfect. Picnic tables were clean. Fire pits at each site ( although there was a fire ban during our trip)

I wish we could have stayed longer. We had Site 21, not one that has direct access to the lake but it was still great. The site was fairly large and private with all the natural trees and shrubs. The site was level and had some shade. It also had a fire ring and picnic table as well as FHU.

We loved the area. Grayton Beach State Park is a great hub location to go explore the small beach towns along 30A. Perfect for biking. The beach is about a half mile walk but so beautiful. Highly recommend coming here. I wish it was easier to get reservations.

Peace and beauty. The best in the panhandle. Total hidden gem.

We were initially assigned to site number 10 which was small but fine because we were tent camping. After a quick set up we started walking around and found site number 16 open by the water with a breeze. We drove up to the front confirmed availability and moved camp. Keep in mind this is not the beach, it is a lake but also has a trail along side where we walked the dog which was nice.  Ground is gravel but not difficult to stake. Bathroom facilities were very well located in the middle of the inner loop. Our site was on the outer side of the loop but paths to the bathroom are easy to find because there are reflectors making it visible with a flashlight at night. We only stayed one night but would definitely come back and bring bikes so we can check out the cute little beach town nearby.

Grayton Beach is only one gem along 30 A. Huge park with hiking trails, kayaking, and sunsets to die for! We can't get enough of the fun, sun and hospitality of the panhandle. Sites have water and power. Sandy, large and somewhat secluded. Bring everything you need because no onsite store or even any store close.

Grayton State Park lot #35 with full hook ups including sewer on the site. We were very lucky that they had one opening for Easter weekend, and with the Reserve membership the cost was $40 total for two nights. The lots was perfect for our RV and a friend's large tent. Each site had direct access to the clean and well kept showers and bathrooms. The campgrounds were beautifully maintained and of course the beach was jaw dropping. The beach was about a half a mile from the site, a very nice walk or bike ride. Also had a bathhouse at the entrance to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back. While near Destin, visit Crab Island..the green clearr water is unbelievable..

We will be back here Soon. We all loved it. Sites were perfect. Electric perfect. Water was great.

This place was great; perfect location, quiet campground, short walk/bike to the beach, full hook-ups.  Site was clean and level.  Not far from all the offerings of 30A (but we were there mostly to camp).  Hit the beach for a beautiful sunset each night.  Biked in the forest across the street and biked up and down 30A a bit.  Definitely planning on coming back sometime.

PROS: Great big, full hook-up sites with a fair amount of privacy

Close to the beach

Close to 3oA and shops

Bike path right out front

CONS: Not too much to complain about - would be nice to be ON the beach but...

The accommodations are great. One problem.... The Huge Racoons are smart and clever

Be on your game,they will be testing you.

We stayed in site 35 at the end of December. Site was level and had privacy from the neighboring sites, with electric, water and sewer hookups! Easy walk to Western Lake - some sites even back up to the lake. Longer walk to the beach/gulf, but we found the walk to be beautiful and saw quite a few birds along the way. No pets allowed on the beach - if you have a dog, ask the rangers for the brochure listing dog beaches in FL. We drove to Panama City Beach to go to the dog beach at Pier Park, which was a nice alternative. We did the Barrier Dunes Nature Trail - note that this is listed as a loop, but when we were there, it wasn’t a loop and most people we passed on the trail weren’t wearing masks. In its current state, there weren’t any gulf views from this trail. The campground was VERY quiet the whole time we were there.

Great site and beautiful lake view on site 16. Access to the beach was a bonus (most public beach access are closed due to covid19). They have convenient kayak and paddle board rentals at the beach access for the lake. They also have a great nature trail that offers wonderful views of the sand dunes. Very close to seaside and some great restaurants if you don’t feel like cooking. Site had a picnic table and metal fire ring with flip over grill surface for cooking. They sold ice and firewood at the entrance (locked after office closes for the night). Book early and check site availability often this place stays pretty busy. Bathrooms were clean and serviceable.

You can reserve campsites in Florida state parks 11 months in advance, but I don’t plan that far ahead! We lucked out and snagged a coveted site on the lake due to a last-minute cancellation. Sites are generous and private with many trees separating the sites and it is a very quiet campground. The bathrooms/showers were clean, although the paths to them were a little jungle-like. Canoe and kayak rentals available although we did not use them. It would have been nice to have bike rentals available at the campground, but they are available in town. We walked into the town of Grayton Beach for lunch. Nice white sand beach but not as flat and walkable as others (our calves let us know the next day that this was a vigorous walk)! Because we have a camper van, aside from beach walking, there was not much else for us to do here without dismantling our camper and driving.

Just expanded the number of campsites, kayak and SUP rentals on site. From the campsites to the beach you’ll want to drive or ride a bike. Clean bathroom and outside showers out the beach.

This is perhaps my favorite campgrond. At the beach, but not on the beach. If you get the right campground, you'll be right up on the lake (watch out for aligators) but no matter where you camp, there's easy hiking access to the sugar white sands of the Florida panhandle. Paradise.

Another beautiful campground near the gorgeous gulf!

I stayed 2 nights last winter before it got crowded. cool little camp ground amidst the hustle and bustle of a busy beach town. I was tent camping and had a nice site that backed up to marsh land.

We have camped at Grayton a few times and each time has been awesome! The campsites are very well kept as well as the bathroom facilities. The beach is beautiful there. Our kids would much rather come here than Mexico beach or Panama City. The staff is also wonderful! Always very helpful and friendly.

this is by far best in Florida state parks. place has the best beach. reserve at least 10 months ahead

Excellent & very scenic location for kayaking, camping, enjoying the beach, AND snorkeling! Friendly staff, & very clean restrooms. Day use admission is free through the month too.

I love to run on the beach with my grandson here! It’s clean and so beautiful here...

Great beach campground that is away from the tourist hustle an bustle. Nice sites with a great beach.. Not but a short 20 minute drive to nearest tourist attraction
