Grayton Beach is conveniently located right off 30A. It's really a convenient location to retail and grocery shopping while still offering seclusion. Check in was quick and easy requiring me to quickly pull the side after entry and pickup my parking pass and directions. The Park staff was friendly and polite and my first impression upon entry was that Florida takes pride in their parks.  

This was my first trip to Florida in the Airstream as well as to a Florida State Park. When booking I wasn't aware that Grayton is one of many highly desirable parks that require booking 11 months in advance! As luck would have it I booked July 11th for a night on the July 17th. During the trip I had to bounce around a bit from park to park to complete the trip because of the short notice. If you are flexible and don't mind moving around I found you can make it work. 

The Pad was 37 located on a corner surrounded by nice foliage. The turning radius and parking associated with this campsite is limited. Visitors with larger camping units may have difficulty maneuvering units into the campsite due to the limited turning radius at the site. My rig is 42' in length and I had no issues with the turning radius. Pad spacing is decent and I never felt cramped. Once setup I disconnected the truck and parked off to the side of the lot. Hookups are well maintained. Sewer is level with ground so there wasn't a need to to hook up the Camco Sewer Hose Support. 

Site 37 is located directly in front of the bath house which is just a short walk down a wooded path. 

Beach access is a short walk or bike ride. I really enjoyed the privacy and of course the white sand and emerald water. Destin is acclaimed for having some of the whitest sand on earth because the primary ingredient is white quartz crystal that was sheared off the ancient Appalachian Mountains by glaciers during the last great Ice Age. They washed into the gulf and were ground down by wave action over the many millennia into a white powder that’s so fine it squeaks when you rub your feet upon the surface of the beach. 

I paid $40.03 for one day which is a steal for this kind of experience. Florida does a wonderful job with their parks. If I can find a spot next year we plan to visit again.
