This was my first time here. I spent 3 nights off beach and 5 nites on the beach. Absolutely wonderful park. EVERYONE was welcoming and the staff was great. The park is very clean and well maintained. All the off beach sites are solid on pavers. The beach sites are obviously sand. The beachfront sites can be tight to get into if they are full. I got my 40' 5er in there easily as it wasn't packed. I don't know how difficult it would be to get a 45' 5er in though, may be a little challenge when it's packed. All in all it's a great place and will definitely be back to visit.

We stayed in site 606 and loved it! Its easy to back in and pull out of. We went 12/12/22 - 12/17/22 my only regret is the time was not long enough. The walk to the beach from this site is close! And easy! We lucked out and the folks beside us left then we could get a limited view of the beach from our bedroom window. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Internet was very good, once we figured out which one to connect to.
During our stay we rode out a tornado warning with gusts of 40mph or worse! Scary!!!! Our slide toppers looked like they were going to rip off so we pulled them in. Learned later to put ropes over them with sand bags to pull them down so wind wont get under them! During this time it rained buckets and the maintenance workers worked out in it to relieve stopped up drains and pump water to prevent flooding. I was impressed by this because this was in tornado weather! They seem to work hard.
We were excited about beach glamping been dreaming well before we bought a camper. We booked a trip in august 2023 as soon as we bought our first camper. So we couldn’t wait and booked a quick trip in December. We loved 606 so good we changed our original august site to 606 and extended our trip to almost 2 weeks for that august trip.
We like the sand spots but you cant have animals which wont work for us.
I recommend. It is sandy so be prepared to take shoes off and carefully not track sand in. But its the beach and we love sand!!! It cleans up lol!

Book early because this place is very popular! For good reason - it's one of the best. We stayed for a full week and really took advantage of the amenities which include private bathrooms and glass showers with rainfall shower heads. Laundry facilities were equally amazing. Walk to the beach is 0-5 minutes depending on where your site is at. Beachfront spots are obviously very cool but they are super close to one another and there's a ton of foot traffic in that area all day long. Food truck on site open during the day. Golf carts everywhere but we didn't find a need. Great spot, worth going out of your way to plan any amount of time here. Starlink worked great at our site.

Two stars for the location and the fact that this is a truly unique experience, being right on the beautiful panhandle beach. It ends there though. We arrived at check in time and were told we couldn’t get to our site because of flooding. Annoying but we understand that weather happens. The attendant told us to park at Walmart and that we would be called as soon as our site was ready. We waited, and waited, so we called. Two hours later and after being on hold for at least 30 minutes we were told we could come. Never got a call. Bad service.
Also, the pools were not heated as advertised. And the wifi is TERRIBLE. It was so hard to get connected I stopped trying. The one time I could connect it was dial up slow.
It’s unfortunate, for the price, this place should be run better. But it’s a great spot and it is always full so there is no need for customer service I guess.

We camped here in December and were pleased to get mild weather with upper 60s & low 70s. Not warm enough to swim, but sunny enough to sit and enjoy the waves and the sun.
Beachfront sites do not have sewer and can be tricky getting into if your rig is lighter. There is lots of sand and our 24ft motorhome lost traction while backing in. We had to go forward and then reverse fast so our momentum carried us into the site. The sites are very tightly packed and you'll be close to neighbors who possibly forward face so you'll be sharing your "porch".
Despite the negatives, being able to listen to the ocean at night and watch the sunrise/sunset from your RV is amazing. We've camped in the gulf before, but never this close to the ocean. This is a definite "must do" if you're driving distance to the panhandle.

It was a bit tight and we couldn’t level. The beach was difficult to get to because of all the RV’s on the beach.

1. The pool was cold but refreshing on a hot day. They had a slide open all year and one slide open for a short time on the weekends.
2. They had free soft serve ice cream cones on Friday. That was cool.
3. The beach was close are really amazing!
4. The sites were small but clean and easy to park.
5. We had a couple rough nights because the teenagers were so loud at the park, we were across from it. Which was nice for our kids but in the middle of the night, that was obnoxious.
6. The staff was really polite but there was a $60 accommodation fee on top of the regular price.
7. The bathroom and shower facilities were really nice.
We would go back for sure. :)

The pool could have been cleaner but as busy as it was I give them a pass. They have a food truck on site. I had shrimp tacos that were soooo good. There was a pizza place across the street that had decent pizza. They will deliver to your site which was great. We were there three nights and this made it where we did not need to leave. We will definitely be back.
Destin is doing a good deal of road work west of the Camp Gulf entrance. If you have the option of coming in from the East, I would do it.

This place has the worst cancellation policy. They won’t allow you to change dates for inclement weather and you lose all of your deposit. I was really excited with all the great reviews booked Camp Gulf twice and both times got hit by a hurricane before traveling and the second severe weather coming from Texas that wouldn’t allow us to travel. I lost over $500 in deposits without any refund. Do not book even if you are a good Sam member the policy is unfair to travelers. Do not book this place I won’t be booking again.

No pets no stay not sure I understand more pets can't be allowed at your campsite. However, I do understand not allowing them on the beach. I think provisions need to be put in place because so many people travel with pets these days. Can't really review the campground although I would love to go but I also love to be with my pets.
