This campground is smaller than the other state parks we stayed at on our emerald coast road trip, but only if you are tent camping. The RV sites were packed, but there are only 22 tent sites (these sites do have a bathhouse which was clean separate from RV sites). The sites were very clean and a nice size with... More

This is a great campground just off the beaten path of Destin. You are a few short minutes to all of the excitement and restaurants of Destin if that's your thing, or you can relax at the state park and never leave the campground and beach. Sites were shady and nice and clean, pool was good, and the staff was... More

My beautiful wife and I spent several nights at this park. We have a 40ft big rig, all RV sites are full hookups, 50amp, cable, good water pressure. pull-thrus and back- ins are all on slabs and well shaded. One will not find a more beautiful beach in Florida than this one at sunrise. Resort-quality amenities, all features one would... More

RVing here for 2 weeks. Loving every minute. Slab sites with full hook ups and cable ( former private park). Gorgeous bike/pedestrian-only trails. Nature trails. 3-miles of beautiful beach dedicated to the park. People are respectful of one another and it is extremely quiet. Our new favorite Florida State Park.

This park is beautiful, well maintained..one of my favorite and I have been to many parks all over the nation. They provide a shuttle to the beach but we rented bikes which we loved. The paths/roads around the park are so beautiful. There is one to Campbell Lake which we took and really enjoyed it. The sites are well maintained;... More

Clean, clean, clean. The clientele at this park is not what you see at other parks. They are well mannered, clean, quiet and most of all respectful of others. This is by far one of the finest State run parks my family has ever visited. We stayed on the back left section. 150 range. The sites are perfectly laid out... More

Topsail is a wonderful place to stay. This was my 2nd stay in the cabins and had a wonderful time. There is a tram that shuttles you to and from the beach every hour. Or, if you would rather walk or bike, the half mile trek to the beach is a very nice, paved road. The campground and beaches are... More

This was our second Spring Break camping trip at Topsail and just like the first time it was great. When we camp we look for quiet, private and relaxed. Topsail fits the bill 100%. We are always amazed at how the sound of the ocean waves about 1/2 mile away are the loudest sound in the park. We chose tent... More
