Cool area and friendly staff! The Cold water cabin was cute, a great price, with everything we needed for one night in Navarre. Sits in the middle of a lot of good food options as well. Only a 7 minute drive from multiple public beaches. Would definitely recommend checking this spot out!

We had a short stay before heading to New Orleans. We stayed in a one bedroom, with a small warm shower bathroom and kitchen. We had a TV as well with picnic table. It was a very nice stay, people were friendly. The beach access and doc where lovely and the water was so clear and beautiful. We took advantage of the hot tub as we visited in February and the Temps were in the 40-50 during the day. We had everything we needed for cooking in the cabin and utensils. They provided us with space heaters due to the lower Temps which was so nice and made it comfortable to relax in. I think the only thing that I kept thinking was that it would have maybe been nice to have had a fire ring that time of year to have sat by. However, absolutely was not a big issue. We did observe that some site had fore rings and some did not so it may have been something we just needed to request. It was such a low key and beautiful place with great restaurants everywhere. We will absolutely return during nicer weather. We had a lovely time.

We had an amazing stay at Navarre Beach Camping resort. We stopped there for 2 nights on the way to visit my grandma for Christmas and it was better than we expected! We participated in the Christmas gift exchange, played games with other campers, and went to check out some of the beaches that were recommended to us by some of the staff! We will definitely return!!!

The best glamping near Destin with hot tubs guide

Where to go

Emerald Coast

Sandy beaches and turquoise waters stretch along Florida’s aptly nicknamed Emerald Coast. East of Destin, Topsail Hill Preserve State Park and Grayton Beach State Park have popular coastal campgrounds, or you can head inland to hike, bike, and horseback ride in the Point Washington State Forest. A little further, check into an RV resort at Panama City Beach and enjoy water sports along the Grand Lagoon.

Gulf Islands

West of Destin, scenic barrier islands stretch all the way to the Alabama border. You can hike to coastal marshes and pristine beaches, then pitch your tent right on the sand at the Gulf Islands National Seashore. Or, seek out a secluded beach or fishing spot along Okaloosa or Santa Rosa islands.

Okaloosa County

Coastal parks, campgrounds, and boat launches pepper the shores of Choctawhatchee Bay, north of Destin. Heading inland, the rambling woodlands of Blackwater River State Forest provide plenty of opportunities for hiking, canoeing, and fishing, along with a choice of campgrounds.

When to go

Summer is peak season in Destin, when temperatures soar into the high 80s°F, and prices shoot up accordingly. Opt for a spring or fall visit to avoid the crowds—it will still be warm enough to hit the beach, and you can benefit from shoulder-season rates too. Many campgrounds stay open year-round, but be aware that seasonal activities and services may close down over winter.

Know before you go

Destin has plenty of supermarkets, restaurants, and gas stations, and you’ll find several shops selling camping and outdoor supplies.
Day-use fees apply in all Florida state parks, as well as campsite booking fees.
Stingrays are common in the Gulf from May through October, so take care when swimming, and always follow warning flags and local advice. Bug spray is equally a must for coastal camping.
