"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."
"It was nice to have such close access to groceries, coffee, Target, etc but then leave it all behind when driving through the park entrance gate."
$24 - $130 / night
"My wife and I are frequent campers in NW Florida and Alabama. Topsail is certainly one of our favorites. Excellent access to the beach, hiking, biking (many miles), lakes, great campground. "
"Beautiful beach, trees between paved spots, bike path, cute coffee shop on site, bike rentals, & a great location!"
$16 / night
"Close to everything and I now want to move to Niceville, Florida. Very quiet in the campground day and night."
"Clean, spacious, bay views and trails! Lots of quiet and trees. The trails are flat easy hiking, could be abit longer, but we combined them.
Easy to get to town, if needed!"
"Great proximity to the beach. Depending on your site several are just steps from the beach (actually on the beach if you don’t need sewer)."
"We are Connecticut residents, we took a winter trip to Destin Florida. Camp gulf was an amazing experience for the whole family."
"Fantastic sites, great amenities, and access to resort and beachfront included.
Some of the sites are real close to the busy highway, and there's an AFB nearby"
"Short walk to beach. Full 50 amp hookup. Overlooks bay. Easily accessible. Picnic table with umbrella. Lot covered by pavers.
Cons: No Wifi for week of stay."
"It’s also a short walk to the water. Close to several towns including Ft Walton Beach. We are currently at the Family camp and will bounce between the two campgrounds on base"
"Camp Robbins is located on Eglin AFB just outside the Fort Walton Beach area."
"We stayed at this park for 10 days because our original plan to stay at nearby Topsail Hill Preserve State Park was derailed by the closure of all Florida State Parks due to Covid-19."
"Proximity to beach is about 10 mins. The staff were incredible. They advised on timing. They helped guide me backing in and walked the hook ups to explain. Restroom and laundry were clean."
$30 - $110 / night
"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. "
"Grayton Beach is conveniently located right off 30A. It's really a convenient location to retail and grocery shopping while still offering seclusion."
$10 - $35 / night
"(W/E only, dump station, bathhouse w/laundry) Cold weekend trip to meet some family coming to Florida. This is a no-nonsense, no wifi, relaxing getaway campground."
"Low/soft ground all around."
$10 - $50 / night
" Mid-Bay Shores, Maxwell/Gunter’s military Florida resort was formerly called Lake Pippin, the new name, Mid-Bay Shores, was chosen to better reflect the beautiful white sandy shores of Choctawatchee Bay"
"Most sites are very close to the water. There isn’t much of a beach as the strip of sand between the grass and the water is quite narrow. If you want to avoid the crowd this is the place."
RangerI have stayed many places and this is by far my favorite! We stopped over for one night on our way home from Texas. As soon as my husband backed the camper in, I asked if we could stay two nights. So glad we did! Breathtaking views and we were able to fish behind our camper. You're so close to all the "action" without hearing or having to be part of it. They have a boat ramp, rent fishing poles & kayaks, swimming pool, club house, bathrooms, laundry room and a wonderful covered deck/outside area. The office staff were absolutely wonderful. Hope to stay here again ❤️
RangerWe stayed at Retroville in Freeport, FL from Thursday to Sunday in early August. It’s a very small, peaceful campground—just one gravel road with a cul-de-sac at the end, where there are a few waterfront sites. The grounds were very clean, and although the waterfront area is a marshy slope (more like a slew off the river), it added to the quiet, tucked-away atmosphere.
Sites are all gravel and full hookup, and while there’s not a ton of space between them, the campground never felt crowded or noisy. We didn’t see a bathhouse or laundry area, and the small office/store was closed while we were there, but it looked like it sold things like ice cream and small essentials.
The owners were extremely helpful and responsive, even though they were out of town during our stay. I booked last-minute after 9PM en route, and they still responded quickly and offered help—great customer service even from afar.
There’s not much to do at the campground itself, but we planned for that. It’s in a great location for day trips—about 30–45 minutes to beaches like Seaside, Miramar, Destin, and PCB. We swam at Vortex Springs (30 minutes away), biked trails around Seaside, and had dinner with live music at North Beach Social just across the bridge south of the campground—highly recommend that spot for food, drinks, and beachy vibes.
The campground has a fun retro theme with gas pumps and vintage signs, perfect for photos. Wi-Fi and cell service were spotty during our stay, but we expected that based on reviews. If you’re looking for a quiet, clean basecamp with super nice owners and don’t mind driving to the action, Retroville is a solid pick.
GuideThe campground is nicely maintained. The bath houses are not the cleanest, but not anywhere near the worst I have seen. But definitely not Buc-ee’s level. LOL But for $16 a day and an hour from Destin you can’t beat that. You can fish the pond (large) for catfish, brim, bass, and one other I don’t remember. Hiking trails are kept in great condition with the exception of a couple of spots. Blue Springs is a short hike and is crystal clear and cool to swim in. RVs can stay in C and D loops.
ScoutMy wife and I and my two furry friends(dogs) give Emerald RV Park a Five Star rating. We thought we had lost our little Yorkie in the park somewhere or she even left the park. We set out on a frantic search for her. I am riding my bike, and my wife is on foot yelling out her name. I go into the park office and tell them what has happened, and a member of the park staff puts out an immediate bulletin by text message to all current registered guests to look for her. I could not believe the immediate help we had from other RVers that came out to help search for the dog. Making a long story short, we found the dog in maybe 20 minutes in good health. We are so thankful for the help of the residents of the park and especially the staff at Emerald RV Park. We may add that the park is well kept and very dog friendly. It has all the facilities (in working order) needed for a long stay. The staff are friendly and especially helpful in unusual circumstances as we experienced. Thank you to the staff at Emeral RV Park.

TravelerWe really enjoyed our few days at this park. Its newly open and full of details and has a great hollywood museum thst must not be missed. Its very close to the 30a beach area but is hidden. There were a couple of famous Nashville musicians there also camping! The owners take great care of the park and its small and they have mo plans to make it into a parking lot with too many campers.
GuideWe had a great time camping for 5 nights… we liked how close we were to the beach and even walked from the campground (although you do cross a busy road). There was beach chair rentals and being I. Such close proximity to the pier it was nice for the beach days. The campground is dated and have 3 little ones under the age of 6 and the playground was to “big” for them. I really don’t want to sound like I’m complaining we love camping and this was a great spot being in PCB. Our site was VERY small and now we know better where we will stay when we come back!!!
TravelerLoved our short stay here. Friendly staff, clean campground, fun little dog beach, great fishing pier and small beach.
RangerThis RV park has a shaded area to play bags and hang out. There’s also a pool with many places to sit with shade from umbrellas and a pergola. There’s 4 bathrooms with toilets and showers. There’s also a dog park and a dog beach.
We’ve stayed here for a couple weeks the last couple of years and it’s been a great experience.
