Although they are both State Parks, Topsail is more like a Resort. So if you like Resorts, it's a nice campground. Henderson Beach is far more private and feels like a State Park. The last time we were their our site was completely private. We only saw the tip of the nose of the Motorhome in the site next to us. On the other side, we did not see the RV or the campers at all.
We had heard great things about Top Sail and were excited to go. We were hoping for more like Henderson Beach. There is no privacy at Top Sail. The campground is well maintained and the staff was very nice. I was a little annoyed when the in-ground sprinklers started watering the lawn at our site in the middle of the day.
We prefer State Parks where sites are spread out, there is privacy and there is lots of nature. Top Sail doesn't really have any of that. Don't get me wrong, it is a nice campground, but as far as Florida State Parks go, we were disappointed.
