RE: Camping in Destin Fl, Gulf Shores,Panama City?

[mcsullivan]

 
We would like to go camping close to a beach in a few weeks.  Would like to get suggestions on the best places to camp in these areas.  We would love to be right on or near the beach or have beach access near by.  My wife wants extra clean bathrooms/showers that is her only request.  I would like to have some shade if possible....are we expecting to much?
 Thanks in advance!

I live in the area you re wanting to go camping at.  Not sure if you checked out the Florida State Parks online

 You may also want to check out Gulf Shores National Park near Pensacola.  Ft Pickens is the campground and it s one of the few National Parks that have water/electric hookups.  It s located on a island, Gulf of Mexico on one side and the bay on the other.

 If you have any questions about the area, feel free to ask me.
