Stayed a long weekend in January and what a pleasant surprise. Yes, it's right along the bustling 6 lane road through Destin. Yes, you can hear the road noise from the campground. Yes, the campground is a haul from the beach. But the convenience and location are worth it. The campground is spacious with lots of privacy at each site... More

First of all, thank heavens this small park is here protecting a small strip of beach from developers! That said, it is a wonderful beach but right next to a lot of development. The sites are a big rigs dream! Huge, level sites, clean facilities and privacy between the sites. However, there is constant noise from the highway if you... More

Beautiful park that is exceptionally clean and perfectly located for campers snd RV 's that want to be isolated, yet close to everything like the beaches and restaurants. You feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, but just outside the entrance are all the shopping, restaurants, and nightlife you might be looking for, the beach is one of... More

Rented a pull thru site that was a breeze to drive into. Stayed 5 days in September and spent most of our time at Destin attractions. The beach is quite a haul from the campgrounds but very nice once you get there. There is a video on U tube that showes every camp site there so you can choose the... More

We stayed here for the second time in our motorhome mid September 2012. The campsites are pretty large, with gravel, lots of privacy between you and neighbors, but no shade. The noise from the road is quite loud, you are just off the six lane Hwy 98 and constant noise. A Walmart is right across the entrance of the park... More

We tent camped for a few days. The location is great because it is so close to stores and places to eat, so it made camping a little easier. The campground was very clean and quiet. The staff was very nice and helpful. The bathrooms were really nice. Our loop was pretty full each night. The walk to the beach... More

We spent six nights in our pop up camper on site 3 July 2012. What a great find! We could not see or hear our neighbors unless they happened to walk by on the drive. There was at least a five foot screen of trees and brush. Clotheslines, fire ring, table, and gravel pad made life easier. Very short walk... More

This is our second visit to Henderson Beach State Park as campers. We absolutely love it here. So much to see and do. We arrived on June 23, 2012 at around 5 pm. Unloaded everything from our motor home and set up camp inside and out. The kids were dying to see the ocean so we took a moment to... More

Having a wonderful time. Nice hot sunshine, warm water, loving it. Those of you that do not like this campground, stay somewhere else and don't come back. Leave some spots for us locals.

My son and I camped here overnight in spring 2012. The park itself is extremely clean and well kept. Hats off to the volunteers that look after this beautiful little park. The campgrounds are well layed out and even provide a degree of privacy between them. The site surface is fine gravel which is great for RVs but tough for... More
