Gravel sites spread across 176 spots at this Gulf Coast state park, where campers wake to views of Grand Lagoon through palm fronds and sea oats. The campground operates year-round with both back-in and pull-through sites accommodating RVs up to 50 feet, though Daniel notes "the roads are bumpy in the park with lots of pot holes, so just go the speed limit and watch out."
Site selection makes a significant difference here. Lower-numbered spots face the jetty and offer prime waterfowl viewing, while higher-numbered sites attract deer visitors at dawn and dusk. Kiva R. observes that "many campsites are tight on the bay and you can see the water from most of the sites." The campground includes a central community area with built-in cornhole and an oversized checkerboard around a large fire pit.
Beach access remains available 24 hours for registered campers, with two distinct shoreline experiences. The Gulf side delivers choppier, clearer water while the bay side offers calmer swimming conditions, though jellyfish can be problematic during certain seasons. A nature trail winds through freshwater swamp habitat where alligators reside, and the park provides interpretive programs about local wildlife. Three camp stores throughout the park stock basics, firewood, and beach supplies.
The facility underwent major renovations following Hurricane Michael, resulting in updated bathhouses with hot water and electrical outlets, plus new laundry facilities at each bathhouse location. Security gates close at dusk and require entry codes for after-hours access. Reservations are recommended for waterfront sites, which fill quickly during peak seasons.

This campground suits RV travelers wanting full hookups with Gulf access and tent campers comfortable with gravel surfaces and close site spacing.
