    Live Oak Landing

    Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, but still conveineant

    This campground is off the beaten path near Destin (about a 30 minute drive), but is still very convenient.  It's got all the amenities and then some. Cabin rental, ice, pool, fishing, boat dock, clean bathrooms, playground, etc.  There is a nice gas station/small store just up the road too.  It's on a dead end road, so there is little traffic.  Even saw a couple of small gators by the boat dock! Very nice place, would stay there again!

    Topsail Hill Preserve State Park Campground

    One of the best.

    Great campground with full hookups! Longer hike to the beach than Henderson State Park but everyone seemed to have adapted with beach cart trailers behind their bikes. Beach tram runs when not on COVID shut down. Some sites are close together but the south loop sites had more privacy. Great biking in the park and along 30A. Also has many nice cabin rentals. Beach is absolutely beautiful!

    Beautiful well kept state park

    Amazing state park on the water. The campground is modern with nice clean bathrooms, laundry machines, vending machines, park store with cart rentals and other items. The spaces are close together but great. Nice level gravel pads, full hookups including sewer, and most have fire pits and picnic table.

    Henderson Beach State Park Campground

    Quiet and secluded for the beach

    My family and I stayed here for one night in July 2020 as our midway point from GA to Texas. We stayed in site 44 and it was private and near the bathrooms. All the sites had gravel, a picnic table, and and a fire pit as well as a clothesline. There’s a path to the beach from the bathhouse. The bathhouse was very clean and there were men and women restrooms as well as private bathroom/showers.

    We fit 2 tents at our site. It was so humid and muggy I cowboy camped on the gravel with my picnic blanket and sleeping pad. Everyone else slept in the tents without the rain fly’s for some ventilation. It was a nice, clean, and quiet park and we felt very secluded in our site. There was WiFi and cell service (2 bars for Verizon).

    Each site has electric and water. There’s a dump station near the entrance/exit of the park. Overall, lovely experience and I would definitely stay here again.

    Topsail Hill Preserve State Park Campground

    Ranger Review: High Hopes Hammock at Topsail Hill Preserve State Park

    Campground Review:

    If you are ever in the Florida Panhandle, you have to stop at Topsail Hill Preserve State Park. I have been coming here for years as a visitor and the past four volunteering in the campground because I love it so much. The campground used to be a private RV park so there are lots of amenities with really nice campsites but once you leave the campground there are over 1,600 acres to explore and 3.2 miles of pristine white sandy beaches to walk on. The park is divided into three sections: the RV park, a 22-site tent-only section, and 32 one and two-bedroom bungalows and cabins for rent.

    There are 156 RV sites that are level and a mix of paved and crushed gravel with full hook-up and cable television (75+ channels). Park roads are paved and easy to navigate in any size RV. There are plenty of tall trees for shade and bushes that provide privacy. There are no fire pits but you are allowed to have a fire if you bring your own pit. The fair majority of sites are back-in but there are a handful of pull-thru sites and all are level. The water sewer and electric hook-ups are all well-placed at the site and there is a light at the end of each driveway. There are 22 tent sites with an elevated gravel tent pad, fire ring, water spigot, and 110 electric hook-ups. Most of the tents are set under tall pine trees while a few are more in the open and are sunny. A concessionaire offers “glamping tents” with beds, lamps, carpet, chairs and outdoor furniture. There are also one and two-bedroom cabins that can be rented year-round.

    Within the park is a free wifi hotspot, a non-heated swimming pool, beach access with tram service, club house, camp store, bike/kayak/canoe rental, laundry, amphitheater, shuffle board, and a host of park activities and ranger-led tours. The restroom and laundry facilities (which are only $1.50 per wash/dry) are clean and seemed adequate to handle the crowds. The campground is located ¾ mile from the beach which is accessible via a walking/biking trail or a tram operated by the park. During the winter months the tram runs every two hours, but during peak season it runs once an hour. Once you are on the beach you have miles and miles of unspoiled white sand and blue water to enjoy. There are also numerous ponds and coastal dune lakes scattered throughout the campground for the fishing enthusiasts. The coastal dune lakes are a globally rare ecosystem occurring in only a handful of places around the world and definitely worth exploring (which you can do with watercraft rental).

    Nearby are thousands of acres managed by the state forestry department which have miles and miles of hiking trails. The park is located within a mile of a Walmart (with food), gas station, Subway and other restaurants. Within 5 miles are tons of shopping opportunities, movie theater, restaurants, grocery, etc.

    What we really liked about this campground are the level, paved, full-hookup sites and the fact that it is in a state park so you have access to miles of hiking/biking and a gorgeous beach. The beach here is the most beautiful in Florida and can be completely empty in the winter. The not-so-good things about this park are the cost and how crowded it can be in the peak season. During peak season this park is very busy and you have to book very early. The cost is $42/night (unless you are a Florida senior resident and then it is half price) which is high for state parks . . . but compared to other private parks in the area that is reasonable.

    Product Review:

    As a Ranger for TheDyrt I occasionally get outdoor products to test and on this trip I was able to test a High Hopes Hammock. I was pretty excited to receive a hammock because I am one of the few people I know that does not own a hammock putting me a little behind the times. One cool feature of this company is that for every hammock purchased, they donate either a hammock, various survival supplies or money to organizations helping the homeless, impoverished countries or those affected by natural disasters.

    High Hopes offers many different colors of hammocks many of which are bright and fun and the large selection made it hard for me to choose because I like so many of them. The hammock is lightweight at just 1 ½ pounds and tucks nicely into a pouch attached to the side of the hammock. The hammock fit perfectly into my small day pack so I took it with me on a long hike and set it up when I wanted a break. I chose the hammock and strap bundle which is $10 more than just a hammock but definitely worth it (bringing the total without tax to $59.99). The straps are 9 ½ feet long with 15 loop holes so you can make this fit in a lot of different locations where trees may be pretty far apart. The hammock is large at 9 ½ feet long and 6 ½ feet wide and easily fits two people or you and your furry friend. The capacity is a whopping 400 pounds so it is good that the tree straps and steel carabiners are heavy duty. The setup is super easy as you just wrap the straps around a tree or other supportive post and clip the carabiner into the loops on the strap. Then, in you go. Once inside you can use the attached Velcro to close the hammock so you feel like you are in a cocoon. This is also a nice feature if you want privacy. The Velcro closure may help keep some pesky insects out but not all as there are only three Velcro patches which leaves gaps.

    Click here for my video review.

    The downside of this company is their customer service. I was on a “live chat” with them and when I asked about a mix up with an order they went totally silent and I never got another response. I tried emails and those went unanswered. They offer various promotions online and discounts if you sign up for their email list. They were advertising free two-day shipping on orders over $50 which is great but keep in mind there is processing time which in my case was about five days.

    In addition to hammocks they sell clothing, accessories and hats. There are a lot of hammocks of this type on the market but High Hopes sets themselves apart from the competition because of their involvement helping those less fortunate. Since I haven’t owned another hammock, I can’t attest to quality differences but this one seems to hold up well so far.

    Henderson Beach State Park Campground

    The Best ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

    Henderson Beach was my absolute favorite campsite on vacation in Florida this year (2020)

    Friendly staff and a very well maintained Park made the trip enjoyable. 

    I booked on July 11th 2020 to stay on July 19th 2020. Part of my experience this trip was bouncing around to a few parks to fill our week because of the short notice and lack of availability due to the increase in travelers. I lucked out and found one night available for $40.15 - It's no wonder these parks book out 11 month in advance. 

    Pad 13 is a roomy site surrounded by lush foliage and trees. Included on my site was a nice picnic table, fire pit and clothes line. Loop is was fairly close to the entrance and just a short bicycle ride to the beach. The roads and the sites are very nice and well maintained. The staff rakes each site before the next visitor. The bath house was equally clean and as luck would have it just a short walk from our site. I discovered on the day of departure that there was a nice bridge located at the bathhouse that takes you directly to the beach. The previous day I had ridden the bike around the loop which took a few minutes.

    Site hookups - Water & Electric  

    Dumpsite is on the main road in and was quick and easy to drop a load and leave! 

    WIFI - NO

    ATT signal was decent at times. Not enough to stream.

    For the price of 10 lattes you can't beat Henderson Park!

Guide to Inlet Beach

Cabin camping near Inlet Beach, Florida offers shoreline access to the Gulf of Mexico with protective coastal dunes and scrub vegetation. Most cabins in this region sit within state parks or private campgrounds just 5-15 minutes from the coast. Summer temperatures average 90°F with high humidity while winter nights can drop to the 40s, making climate-controlled cabin accommodations practical year-round.

What to do

Beach exploration: Access public beaches from St. Andrews State Park Campground, which maintains dedicated walking paths to shorelines. "The snorkeling can be great depending on how recently a storm has passed through. We rented a boat and spent a few hours on Shell Island. Because it is difficult to access there are very few people out on the beach," notes visitor Matt S.

Paddling local waters: Explore freshwater lakes at Topsail Hill Preserve State Park Campground which provides access to coastal dune lakes, a rare geological feature. "Good trails, coastal dunes with lakes, fishing, paddling, beach, cabins, and tent camping including Glamping!" reports James M. The park offers equipment rentals seasonally.

Wildlife viewing: Multiple parks feature natural habitats with resident wildlife. "The deer around were practically tame," reports Vicky E. about St. Andrews State Park. Most parks maintain interpretive centers and guided nature programs during peak seasons, with programs typically lasting 1-2 hours.

What campers like

Private tent sites: Campers consistently mention the privacy of tent camping areas which complement cabin options. "The tent sites are all separated and private, the facilities are clean, and best of all they have access to the most lovely beach!" says Robin B. about Topsail Hill Preserve State Park.

Clean facilities: Henderson Beach State Park Campground maintains well-regarded restroom and shower facilities. "The bathhouse was very clean and there were men and women restrooms as well as private bathroom/showers," reports Elizabeth G., who notes they "felt very secluded in our site."

Quiet location options: Several campgrounds provide quieter alternatives to busy beach areas. "We 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," explains John O. about Topsail Hill Preserve.

What you should know

Reservation timing: Popular cabin sites fill months in advance, especially at state parks. "Book well in advance, this place is super popular and fills up very quickly," advises Angeline S. about Henderson Beach State Park. Weekends and holiday periods typically require 6-9 month advance booking.

Site variability: Cabin and campsite quality varies significantly between locations. "The sites are very different. Some are tiny, some are huge. Some have waterfront and many don't," explains Sonyia W. about St. Andrews State Park.

Weather preparation: Coastal storms can affect camping plans with little notice. "I was here for the snow fall. The electric hook up was a saving grace," notes Michael D. about Topsail Hill Preserve State Park, highlighting the benefits of climate-controlled cabin options during unexpected weather.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly beach access: Raccoon River Campground offers proximity to family beaches. "About 10min walk to putt putt golf, beach, and water park. Shady, clean, 2 pools are very nice... great playground and fort looking structure for people with kiddos," says Courtney B.

Playground amenities: Several parks maintain dedicated playground facilities. "We had it all to ourselves for an evening dip. Even on a rainy day, you can't beat the location," reports reviewer N.P. about Camp On The Gulf's indoor pool area.

Organized activities: Many campgrounds schedule family-oriented programs. "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," explains Monica G.

Tips from RVers

Site spacing awareness: Live Oak Landing offers more spacious sites than many coastal options. "Nice level pads with some space but no privacy or shade. Interspersed with cute cottages," reports Janet H., noting the "$60 per night" rate.

Noise considerations: Traffic and entertainment venues can create noise at some locations. "Very loud! The campground is directly across the street from a bar and grill that plays live music LOUDLY every night. So loud that you can hear it over the a/c running," reports Cat R. about Panama City Beach RV Resort.

Utility hookups: Pay attention to power requirements when booking cabin camping options. "There is a potable water faucet and a two plug 30 amp electrical outlet at each site," notes Michael D. about specific sites at Topsail Hill Preserve State Park.
