Camp on the sand, hike the dunes, and splash in the warm gulf waters of Destin on a beach camping trip.
White sand beaches, high dunes, and warm Gulf of Mexico waters await intrepid beach campers in Destin year-round. Many area campsites offer pet-friendly tent camping on the beach and provide fire rings, but most ask campers to bring everything they need and pack it all out when they leave. Some beachfront RV parks feature concrete pads with electrical hookups and water—some also have sewer access. For glampers, nearby cottage and cabin rentals offer beachfront views, gulf fishing, and boating right in the backyard. Watch dolphins and sea turtles from your campsite, or seek out hidden geocached treasures all around Destin. Henderson Beach State Park, a popular beach camping destination for tents and RVs, is 20 minutes outside Destin and has even more white sand dunes for exploring, along with natural and paved trails for hiking and biking.
