There is a great state park called Pine Log up 79 between West Bay and Ebro. Raccoon River Campground is on Hutchinson Beach Blvd(Middle Beach Rd) near Shipwreck Island. Pine Glen MotorCourt is on PCB Parkway(Back Beach) near Frank Brown Park. I don't know if the Barretts are still up over at Point Washington along Peach Creek behind the old store. You could check with Rachel and Ed at For the Health of It about that one.

The information I posted was directly from Camping on the Gulf. Maybe you should go there and and find out before you get on me before about misinformation. I have no reason to post something that isn't so. I keep up with Destin daily and know what I read. Maybe this topic needs further investigation. I do not post something I know nothing about.

Tebo - didn't mean to offend you at all; however I did call and verify. I drive past the campground several times a day and it looks packed. Are we looking at the same Camping on the Gulf website?? And talking about the same campground? The one on the South side of 98 just East of Silver Sands??

Don't forget Nature Walk campground. You'll just need bolt cutters. :wave:

I would go with one of the state parks since they are generally cheaper and provide a much nicer view.

P.S. Raccoon River is known for gypsies.

lol!!! You are too funny gayboi! That would actually make a great RV campground, and would double their income on that property (the other income being Seagrove Villas rentals).

Kathydwells, there is also a small campground on Mallet Bayou, about 7 miles north of Hwy 98, directly on hwy 331 (east side of the road). It stays busy looking year round. I'll try and see if I can get a ph number for you.

I love how everyone is helping sweet Darlene! :clap:

FYI...speaking of Nature Talk and no Walk....I was cleaning out a cabinet and found a Nature Walk folder left over from the field trip Mermy took me on, where we got all sorts of free stuff. It was empty...;-). Think I can sell it on ebay?

I remember reading a news article in the Walton Sun months ago regarding the closure of the camp site. Many of the folks live there year round and were very upset about the closing because they had no where else to go. To clear this up research the Walton Sun. See ya.

Are you thinking of that campground in Destin proper that the city bought out and closed to make way for a road-widening project?

Are we talking about Camping on the Gulf in South Walton? Destin is in Okaloosa County? If they are using a Destin address, and it is in South Walton or the Miramar Beach area, they really need to correct their website and their location address. Visitors and guests are poorly served by this inaccurate place name location. If it is the one near Silver Sands, Silver Sands Shopping Mall is in Miramar Beach, South Walton, not Destin.
