Camp gulf

[Fredcook]

It is down to the last few days, we leave Friday morning for camp gulf in destin Florida. First long pull with the TT and first camping trip to the beach. Looking forward to the trip and the family fun. And not to mention the very needed time off.

Have a good trip! I was looking at that location and am interested to hear how you like it. They are currently experiencing red tide so hopefully that will not impact your trip.

There is NO red tide in Destin. The red tide is below Tampa, approximately 400 miles away.

toque your lug nuts before you leave.....

We love the Gulf Coast. Beautiful beaches and yes, NO red tide at Destin. What is your intended route? We may have some alternative suggestions to avoid some problem areas.

We went there back in March. We didn't get the Beach front sites, but got the next row from it. Our site was full hookup with electric, water, sewer and cable. Wifi was available but slow at times. One pic if from our site (inside the TV with trailer behind us) and the other is at the beach.

Ain't that the truth!!! Hope it clears up soon down here.

Fredcook, Enjoy your vacation and travel safely, Hank

I hope, and I'm sure, you will have a great time. We spend quite a bit of time in Destin but not in the RV; we stay at the Emerald Grande resort and we really like it. Hope you have a blast! They have some of the prettiest beaches and water in the country.

We were there a few weeks ago and had a great time!! The water is beautiful!!! Stayed a week and even hired a charter to go fishing!! Myself and my 2 sons caught 4 kings, a cobia and a red snapper!! You are going to enjoy your selves. Safe travels!!

Stay on I-65 through Montgomery towards Mobile to Exit 114 Hwy 55 to Andalusia then stay on 55 to Florala then take Hwy 331 to DeFuniak Springs and on to Hwy 98 which is on the coast. Turn west on 98 and watch for your cg approx 6-8 miles on the beach side.. 2 tips -- fuel up at Giddy up and Go in Andalusia as fuei will be 15 to 25 cents per gallon higher when you hit Florida and while you are in Destin look at Topsail Hill State Parkwhich I think is much nicer and less expensive than Gulf. I forgot tip#3 -- eat at Dewey Destins seafood, the one on the little pier on the bay not the one in the fancy building . Just tell the wife not to look as you drive out there or she may not want to eat there,but trust me really good shrimp and great crabcakes.

[Fredcook]

I will check out the route and we appericate the info

[laidback]

Tooth Ferry has it 100% right. That's the way I travel i every year. also Dewey Destins best seafood in the area. I like the one on the harbor, don't have to fight damn seagulls. Also the new buffet right in town ( ole country buffet)
Real good old fashion southern cooking. Enjoy your trip I'll be back in Oct.

Morning all, well we arrived yesterday in 11.75 hours straight thru with no issues very smooth run. Got to the gate was escorted right in and right to the site veruy nice staff. Once we were set up went to the beach to check out the beautiful clear water so nice. The cg is very nice bath houses are nice and roomy. Looking forward to relaxing and enjoying this place. Will have pics to come.

[338RLKCougar]

Glad you made it safely, enjoy!!!!

[Fredcook]

Took your route and it was nice thanks for the info. Getting ready to go eat at Dewey destins let you know.

[arch113]

Bath house is a nice setup... They helped me get backed in, since this was my first time (using my parents trailer, not the one in the sig below). Hope to go back some day.

I live in NW Florida Fort Walton Beach to be exact, a little wet this week. Get your fuel before you leave Alabama about 15 to 20 cents difference. Enjoy your stay. The most beautiful beaches in the world the sugar white sands squeak when you walk on it.

[Fredcook]

Surferbill, your right sand is great, water is beautiful. Had rain yesterday for a good while made the most out of it though. Hopefully today will be smooth, wish the water was a little calmer like it was last Friday and Saturday but it’s all good.

We’re going to stay at Top Sail FL state CG close to Destin next week for 5 days. This will be the 4th time we’ve stayed there. It has 3 miles of private beach. Super nice..! And it’s just a few minutes to everything in Destin and there’s a grocery store near by.

[Fredcook]

Yes we drove thru it and checked it out it is very nice. Water has been extremely rough, we have had right around 6 foot seas the las few days. To the point of not being able to get in the water due to the rip current. Safe travels and have fun.

In May of 2017 we camped at Big Lagoon state park and St. Georges Island state park. Both were outstanding. More toward Pensacola we got away from all the highrises and heavy traffic. It was a wonderful trip, and we are looking forward to going to that area again. We have a 269RLS Keystone Bullet and a new 2018 Toyota Tundra.

[Fredcook]

Thanks for the info will look into them.
