Henderson Beach SP, Destin. Fl.

Anyone camping at Henderson Beach SP this weekend? We’ve got a Jayco Seneca next door that looks familiar. Haven’t seen the owners yet, wasn’t sure if anyone here was in the area. We’re in site 33 if anyone is here... first time here place is beautiful, we’re loving it.

We really enjoyed Henderson Beach SP. We were in Destin for 5 days, but could only get 2 nights at Henderson Beach. Had to go to Topsail for the rest of the trip. Topsail was such a disappointment after being at Henderson Beach.

Our friends camped at Topsail and really bragged on it. What are the differences between the two?

Not sure yet, never been to topsail. We’re planning on going today to drive around and check it out. Will let you know. One thing is the site here at Henderson are very nice. Pea gravel, large a lot of pull throughs, plenty of privacy, concrete walking paths, boardwalk to the beach. Really a nice park. Once I see topsail, I can give more info.

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.

Condo

We rented a condo in Miramar Beach several years ago and had a good time. We also rented a pontoon boat for the day in Destin Harbor and hung out at the sand barge with a bunch of people. Great time! We're looking forward to taking the 5th wheel out there and doing some camping.
