I was really excited to stay here. I absolutely love tent camping, but sadly they do not have tent sites. The app is incorrect.

I’ve been on a road trip for the past six weeks, mostly tent camping as I go. I stopped by here, after seeing the listing on Dyrt, without a reservation. So lucky for me they had a site available. This is the nicest campground I’ve been to yet, I was so taken with it that I’ve already decided to return some day just to camp. The tent sites are all separated and private, the facilities are clean, and best of all they have access to the most lovely beach! The beach backs onto the preserve so there is no development for miles. It’s a truly unique experience!
Traveler
a nice little campground on Hurricane Lake. the restrooms are clean. the tent sites have running water and the rv/tent sites have water and electric. very quiet expect for the frogs. a good place to fish where they built a dock out in the water so if you don't have a boat you can still fish away from shore.
Traveler
Awesome stay. We actually tent camped here. Great facilities. Listen to the waves at night. Clean beach. Tons of fun.
LegendKeep in mind, this is a Preserve. Good trails, coastal dunes with lakes, fishing, paddling, beach, cabins, and tent camping including Glamping!
Ranger
Roomy clean and very pretty area. Lots of amenities! Quiet and things for the kids too. Cabins and tent camping plus pull thrus.
ScoutThis is the cleanest and nicest campground I have ever been to. The gravel at your tent site is raked like a Zen garden. The bathrooms are pristine, and cleaned daily. There is a coffee shop on site. A tram to take you to the beach. They provide water and electricity to each tent site, which is framed by vegetation and private. The beach is private. There are several long trails and lakes. You can see the stars, and hear the waves from the campground while you sleep. It’s really wonderful.
Traveler
best, cleanest camp ground. Loved the clean bathrooms and location. tent sites were very nice. over all great.
ScoutI didn’t stay here. It seemed nice, but $75 for a tent site?!! Also next to a busy fast road.
TravelerThis is a campground inside a resort city, space is limited but it has beach access and a great location. Store is very well stocked and all the employees were very friendly and courteous. bathhouse is showing age but was clean and well kept. Was there for an event weekend and despite every spot being full we never felt crowded, stayed in tent site #99, all sites are very shady as they all have trees between them. We had lots of rain and the tent site was well drained. Only downside is the sites have lots of roots in them, be prepared if you are not using an air mattress.

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.
GuideThis is one of the nicest capsites I have ever been to. I love the privacy of the pod style tent sites, and the beach is gorgeous.
GuideWe tent camped at Henderson Beach in May 2020. The sites were large gravel with firepit, picnic table and full hookups.
They do have a senior discount, so don't forget to ask. No need to mention the beautiful beach, the grounds are well maintained as are the showers. Over all this may be my favorite place in Florida. Shopping and restaurants are literally across the highway, so many things to do. A must for everyone!
GuideChecked in Friday 01/17 and extended my stay from 2 nights to 7 nights. I’m enjoying the solitude. I’m at a tent site, no WIFI. T Mobile is 4 bars.
ScoutTopsail is one of my favorite campgrounds. We visit every year. Amenities I love are the free beach tram, the swimming pool, and free WIFI at the camp store. You will see a lot of people riding bikes here and you can rent them if you don't have your own.
You cant drive to the beach boardwalk and it's about .7 miles from the tent sites. We actually love this because Topsail beach is pristine and clean. The free tram runs every 30 minutes until 7:30 pm daily
tent sites are very clean and the bathhouse is scrubbed daily at 6 am. This place is one of the best if you don't mind the short walk/ride to the beach.
Guide
They have showers and laundry and Place to get books to read!! Perfect for RV and tent camping. Like 27 thru 33 have views of the Bay!! They have electric and water hook ups for rv and tents!! Lots of trees great place and really close to the bay and easy to get to the beach!!
Guide
Tyndall's family camp offers all the amenities you hope for when camping. You can also simply tent camp if you prefer rather than camping in an RV. Its conveniently located near the base and also near the bay for fishing and other fun water recreational activities.
LegendSo, we are usually tent campers but on this night we decided to try a cabin rental and we were SO happy with the decision. The tent sites had little shade and I think it would have been very hot in the summer sun! The campsites looked to be pretty private which was nice to note. The beach was wonderful- a very enjoyable place to spend time :)
TravelerThe tent campsites are clean, have water and electricity. The restrooms/showers are very clean and kept up also handicapped accessible. There is a tram that brings you to and from the beach. There is a swimming pool and games to keep you busy. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
ScoutGreat spot! Cool shorter hiking trails to take you to lakes or the gulf, or as we call it Lake Florida now. For hammock campers the tent camping spots are okay for hammock camping. I made due but I was in spot 21 and there are no trees accessible enough to hang a hammock up how you would want, BUT they had a couple 4x4s in the ground so I used one of those and a tree, everything went up properly. It was windy, rainy and around 30° and I was extremely comfortable.
Fire pits are great, it looks like all spots have a picnic table.
All in all great spot. I’ll be back soon!
GuideThe trails are all well maintained and beautiful. They have paved and non-paved sections. There is a ton of biking in the park. I’ve seen a rabbit, hungry squirrels, and deer. The facilities are pretty nice. They have toilets, showers, and laundry really close to the rv and tent sites. They also have trams. The people that work there and the people that visit are normally really nice.
ScoutWe were at one of the few 'tent' campsites in the park. Our site was back off the road in the brush - very private even with a trail just on the other side of the bushes. Either ride your bike or take the tram the mile to the boardwalk and beach. Clean showers, friendly staff at the camp store.
GuideMy daughter and I stayed one night in our Dodge Ram Promaster. The bathhouses were busy so we walked over to the tent camping area and used their bathhouses. From our spot it was actually a closer walk. They said it was a short walk to the beach but it took us 20 minutes. We rode the tram back because it was such a long walk. It would have better to ride a bike there, which was what most people did. Overall a nice park with cozy lots.
ScoutWe love Topsail Hill! We stayed for the first time in July 2020 in a bungalow. Met some folks on the beach that convinced us to try tent camping. We just returned from a week long tent trip and it was wonderful. The facilities are very well maintained and having a laundrymat on site helps out a lot! We did bring bikes and purchased bike trailers since the tram is not currently running due to COVID. You can rent bikes and trailers there, but we found bikes with gears to be helpful on the hills.
LOVE this place, the staff and the volunteers - and will be back soon!
RangerWe stayed with two small tents in T6, which had some shade but was also adjacent to an open field area, which would be great for kiddos who want room to spread out and play games. There was also an easier area to park in and enter the site from the back. Perfect hammock trees at this site. The park was also lovely. Highly recommend bringing your own bikes to get to both the beach and to explore the lake areas with a bit more biking. We didn’t get to hike as it was already pretty late in the year (quite hot). Hit the beach at sunset for lovely views and grazing deers. Would definitely tent camp here again!
GuideWe arrived at a very clean, gravel campsite with a picnic table, fire ring, water & electric access, as well as a clothes line. Because we were tent camping, the gravel made it difficult to pitch our tent on site. Luckily, we had enough space and privacy on our site to unload the car and sleep in the trunk of it. The bathrooms were kept very clean, and the showers were fantastic! The beach itself is kept extremely clean and is beautiful. The volunteers do a wonderful job around the campground. Here you will find a family friendly stay! I would for sure visit Henderson Beach again for the clean facilities, beautiful beach, and local attractions.

This is for military, retirees DoD eligible employees and families. We booked 5 months in advance for a 1 week stay. Small pool, splash pad, laundry facility and bath house are all nice. There is also boat, kayak and paddle board rentals available and docks to crab and fish off. It's a small park with only 20 or so sites no tent camping sites. Each site has a concrete pad, water, 50 and 30 Amp service as well as sewer hook ups. At $35/night in Destin its well worth it. On sound side which means calmer water usually. Close to beach access and all the touristy things Destin has to offer. We will definitely be back!
