Best Tent Camping near Destin, FL

While it’s closer to Alabama than most of Florida, Destin is a Florida destination you’ll want to make a note of. The main draw is water on both sides, with the ocean on one and the Choctawhatchee Bay on the other.

You’ll find plenty of beach campsites here, but the best camping near Destin, Florida is at Henderson Beach State Park. Set up at a campground with a good view of the Gulf and enjoy a warm weekend in the sun with your tent or RV. If you want to be on the other side of the Choctawhatchee Bay, head towards Seminole, FL and camp at the Fred Gannon Rocky Bayou State Park. You can still get waterfront views when camping here, but you’ll likely see fewer visitors around.
