The only thing good about this place is the location, which also has a few issues. This was the most we ever paid to camp anywhere and I expected much better facilities. The sites are tiny and everything looks like it is from the 60s and 70s and has not been maintained very well. The property needs a new coat of paint badly. The bathhouses also concerned me as they were not very clean and had large gaps at the bottom of the doors. Large enough for someone to film you with a cell phone if they... Read More

The sites are tiny and everything looks like it is from the 60s and 70s and has not been maintained very well. The property needs a new coat of paint badly. The bathhouses also concerned me as they were not very clean and had large gaps at the bottom of the doors. Large enough for someone to film you with a cell phone if they wanted. Also the bottom of the doors were rotting away, and everything needed a fresh coat of paint. The beach is technically in a good location, however you will be jammed between two Private beaches. We were two or three rows deep every day. People set up large tents on the waters edge and you have to sit behind them unless you get up at 6 am and go put out your own stuff. In a nutshell, Expensive, Run Down and Disappointing. We will never come back.

We love Camp Gulf! We love their staff, their pools, their activities and their facility. Everything is top notch, everyone is friendly and helpful! Literally the only bad thing is leaving, and maybe the sand you bring home.

What is there not to like about this place? The park is literally on the beach, with several sites overlooking the gulf. The staff is very friendly and responsive. Another park full of snowbirds, but everyone is very friendly. The park is well maintained, and is located near interesting places to visit. Although the weather has prohibited us from enjoying the beach, we have enjoyed many of the restaurants and drinking establishments in the area.

Were able to get a 3 weeknight stay booked just a week in advance, the location is fabulous (RIGHT on the beautiful white sand beach) and close to plenty of restaurants. It's a bit noisy and crowded as sites are a bit tight. Kids running, screaming and riding bikes EVERYWHERE during daylight hours but it was quiet after dark. We stayed between pools and enjoyed the landscaping. Everyone working in the park that we interacted with were very friendly and helpful. Didn't use the laundry but it was... Read More

We had a concrete pad relatively near the beach. Our son and his family rented a cabin for a couple nights too and they loved the cabin. Office staff very nice and location was near outlet mall and lots of restaurants etc. I would stay again. Laundry room was spacious with plenty of room for multiple people

Something for everyone. Limited Beachfront spots with all hookups except sewer. But there is a dumping station and a service that will come to your site and pump for you for $10. The management team are extremely nice and helpful. It's a place we always wanted to visit and finally did! Plan ahead because it's always full - that means it is awesome!

We stayed a week during August 2017 which ran into the first two days of September, of which the park called holiday days. Labor Day was on the 4th of September. We have been coming to Camp Gulf for over 15 years and we commend the owners for the updates they have made. We tried to check reservation availability for the next year and were told those sites were already reserved, I questioned how that could be since it was over a year prior, I was told that If you reserve for an entire month that...

We stayed a week during August 2017 which ran into the first two days of September, of which the park called holiday days. Labor Day was on the 4th of September. We have been coming to Camp Gulf for over 15 years and we commend the owners for the updates they have made. We tried to check reservation availability for the next year and were told those sites were already reserved, I questioned how that could be since it was over a year prior, I was told that If you reserve for an entire month that you can make reservations 13 months prior and if you stay three months that you can make reservations 14 months prior. So much for the standard 12 prior reservations, if you can only stay less than a month you're out of luck. This reservation policy starts in the month of September. This is unfair reservation policy. Just my two cents.

Very nice RV Park. Loved the restrooms just hope they can keep them nice. We only stayed 2 nights but it was very convenient right on the beach. Lots of amenities. A little expensive but the same as most other parks and it was right on the beach. Even got our trailer washed while we were visiting. What a convenience. Wish we were back at the beach now! Would stay here again.

Our third trip to Camp Gulf. As they say, location, location, location! If you like the beach then this is your campground. Had a great time and site was excellent as was employee help getting into site. They guide you the whole way. Unfortunately not everyone follows the pet rules as we did see some very large dogs (over 60 lb limit we were told about) and some poop not picked up. Bathrooms are great and generally clean, but like with the dogs not everyone cares and we did see some restrooms left... Read More

Great location in Destin ... RV park with private access to beach. We stayed in several different spaces - prefer the non premium sites which are a lot bigger and more private -whereas the premium sites are much smaller and closer together. All are close enough to beach. Good clean restrooms - private shower stalls with a bench for items. Short distance to the Premium Outlet Shops (very nice - big selection) of quality stores.

We stayed here for 6 nights, right on the beach. PERFECT site and weather. Although the beach front sites are a little pricey, it was exactly what we wanted - front wheels in the sand, front window view of nothing but beach and Gulf of Mexico. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. Beach front sites do not have sewer hookups and do not allow pets, but a pump out service is available. All other sites are full hookup and do allow pets.

This was a perfect vacation for us, I do not recall a more serene or relaxing vacation anywhere. We will be coming here again, and are looking forward to it. We will probably also rent one of the cabins for the children and grandkids so that we can take a vacation together but separate ;-) The sites on the beach are pretty close together, but the other sites looked more spacious. There are many site options to choose from, sunny to shady. Many activities are available at the RV park. No discounts are offered for the beach front sites at any time, but other sites do have discounts. The beach front sites can be pulled into or backed into - if you pull in for the view out your front window, make sure you have sufficient length for power, water and cable. The cable and wi-fi were decent.

Park/Resort had very good amenities. Restrooms/Showers were clean and spacious. Staff was helpful and kind. Steps from the Beach, beautiful white sand beach and emerald water, enough said.

I'll start with the good; The beach is a big plus actually being on the gulf side. The restroom and showers were always very clean and well maintained. The staff was generally friendly and helpful but not infallible. As for the bad; There are too many spaces for the available area and my site was so small that I was apprehensive about opening the slides and awnings were out of the question entirely.

As for the bad; There are too many spaces for the available area and my site was so small that I was apprehensive about opening the slides and awnings were out of the question entirely. My neighbor on one side and I could have likely shaken hands out our side windows. The whole facility seemed badly outdated and in a poor state of repair EXCEPT for the restrooms and showers. WIFI existed but had no bandwith to speak of. To summarize, the conditions of Camp Gulf as they were during my visit of May 2016 were not very nice and when the cost is factored in it makes it unacceptable and I will not return.

Camp Gulf was an outstanding camping experience. Easy walk to the beach from the upper park. Facilities were clean and well maintained. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Kids loved the playground and pool. Camp host did an excellent job backing me into the campsite. Easy access to restaurants and activities in Destin. Overall great trip, we will be back to Camp Gulf.

Great RV resort. We stayed one row back from beach. No dogs allowed on the beach. Resort staff was very friendly and helpful. We had no problem with the wifi, but others did. Washrooms were the best! Individual, large, clean and well maintained. The laundry facilities were nice but could use a little updating, equipment was showing use. We were told they plan to do a remodel.

This is the 4th trip to this park with our family. The rates are a little high but worth it in the end. The park is very kid friendly and the nicest park I have ever been to. Will be there again next year.

There are two pools, a hot tub at the north pool , check in at the front office or at Leona's Gift Shop in the middle of the park. Considering the location, the prices are very reasonable. We have already reserved our spot for next year. The only drawback we found is that WIFI service is spotty. No problem for us as we carry a hotspot but be prepared.
