I've been staying here for 15 years, and have never had anything short of an amazing visit! Camping on one of the highest rated beaches in the world- closer to the gulf than ANY house on the beach- it's incredible. And, if amenities are important to you, then this place is tops. 2, beautiful pools; game rooms; and the nicest... More

At 132.00 a night, one would think that the campground would be clean and nice. It is full of weeds. The parking pad is just large enough for a camper..... Good luck with your car! The office staff does a poor job making you feel at home. I wouldn't stay here.

The price is fitting for a park in this location. Nowhere else can you find an RV Park on the water; for many reasons. The property value, taxes, high maintenance, hurricanes reconstruction, high insurance rates, high amenities and service level (to name a few). The Beach Sites and Beach Front sites are SUN & SAND with palm trees and seaoats.... More

We love this place! This July will be our 8th year there. Have noticed changes over the years the worst bing the price increase and the different staff memebers over the years. Many are nice, but some not so! As for the fellow who was dissapointed that he received o refund for his road troubles, that would be something you... More

If you want to spend your day on the beach, this is the place. Avoid the office if you can, the are nice but not very informed. The staff, called the beach patrol, is pretty helpful. The top spots are more shaded but the lower sites have better views. Don't know if I would go again.

Just returning home from RVing at Camping on the Gulf in Destin. Positive: So nice to be on the water, I would recommend staying as close to the water as you can because there still is a bit of a walk to get there, but if you do, DO NOT stay at one of the end spots. The beach access... More

We made reservation over phone today at the last minute. Were told price in the $70's which although high was ok, were also told site number. Set up at site then went to sign in. At sign in we were told $131 for the site. No adjustment possible. Sounds like bati and switch to me.

The sites int he Upper Park (a few minutes walk to the beach, but still south of the highway) are in the $70. When you want to be on the Beach Front (viewing the water and stepping out of your RV onto the water) the price IS higher. In fact there are 4 different tiers of pricing/location to chose from....

I'm sure it is a nice place, but we didn't get a chance to stay. The night before we had two blow-outs in Daphne and had to stay at the Sam's parking log. The assistant manager at Sam's was truely amazing. After the store was closed (and we're not members), she helped us try to find two tires to get... More

We are sorry that you were not able to make it to us on your vacation. Ouch, two blow outs! First of all, I feel you pain, I am an RVer and this has happened to me. I now try to rotate my tires while parked for longer periods of time in order to prevent 'flat spots' that heat up.... More

We camped here in May , the park is wonderful , lots with concrete patio, very short walk to beach from most sites, short walk to pool. The staff were very accomodating. Just a GREAT VACATION!! Once you stay here you will be back.

This was truly a wonderful campground. They have a beautiful ocean front location. The facilities are great. The bath house is really a complex of 6 or 8 private bathrooms each with their own toilet, shower and sink separate from the rest of the units. It was always very clean and we never had to wait. They had things for... More

Our family has camped at Camping on the Gulf for over 10 years in a row! My children have grown up camping right on the Gulf of Mexico at this WONDERFUL campground each summer. The bath houses have individual rooms w/showers, toilet and sink. There is also Bose music piped in for your listening enjoyment. The campground is gated, has... More
