First time staying. I like to location of being on the beach which was convenient. The sites are way too tight! When your awning touches the slide of the other motorhome next to you and you can’t even hardly get out around your door. Site was not cleaned up as there was trash left when we arrived. Our trash was never picked up as we left it out hours before 9 before pick up. Not dog friendly as there’s no where for them to walk or barely go the bathroom. The staff at front was friendly but didn’t have information when asked and got different answers. When we left it’s very tight to get out and the male staff glared at me to even move our tow vehicle as I told him we were trying to get out to leave. For what you pay I would have expected a little more.

We just got back from a week at Camping on the Gulf in September. Great campground, but as others have said, it's pretty tight and if you have a big rig, take your time and drive slowly.....people's trucks are in the way everywhere, but it is what it is. I suspect this campground was designed before rigs got so big. Thankfully our camper fit fine, but it was still very tight getting it into our site without hitting something. The beach is great, but be aware if you want a water front row beach spot, you have to put your chairs/tent out at 6am......by 630am everything is taken (each "resort" has it's beach space, so you can't go anywhere you please on the beach). I don't play that game...I like my sleep. But otherwise there is plenty of beach space all day. One thing that puzzled us was all the children. It's mid-September and ALL schools are in session, so these must be homeschooled kids.

This campground is amazing! Ownership has changed a couple times since we’ve been coming and it’s currently better than ever. Family style bath houses are always pristine! Laundry facilities are just what you could need. Location is absolutely PERFECT! Shopping and dining options are a plenty. Staff here are so friendly and helpful. Disregard previous negative reviews. Camp Gulf is where it’s at!

I want to be as fair as possible with this review. The staff were friendly and the location is pretty nice. The reason I won't be back is due to the hassle, the value, and the RV spaces at the beach. We were in site 702. You could tell that the pads were not cleaned up between campers. Also the camp ground has been around since 1968 (per an employee) and campers didn't have slide-outs then. We parked in the middle of our site and my slides on one side couldn't be put all the way out - or hit the awning on the camper to my right. With the camper to my left I couldn't put my awning all the way out - or hit their camper. At what we paid, the value isn't there. Also, I have a gas powered golf cart which is not allowed??? Why - Just because I guess! Its not an environmental issue, because they are cleaner than some of the oil burners they allow in the campground. Its not because they are loud, because they a quieter then some of the loud trucks! Since there is no parking with full size vehicles at the amineties, we didn't get to enjoy that aspect of our trip either; but the truth is that the sites are so tight I would not have had a place to park my golf cart on my site anyway. A staff person told me to move my truck up and it literally put my hood under the slide-out of my neighbors camper and blocked his access to his storage doors. We won't be back to this campground as we paid to much for our experience there.

Camping on the Gulf sits right on the beachfront, stretching from the main road all the way to the sand. This RV park offers direct beach access, which is its main highlight. The beach is beautiful, wide, and clean, with soft white sand. However, one downside is that beach access via the service dock is restricted, making it inaccessible for guests with disabilities. No explanation is provided, but it’s something to keep in mind. The campsites are very close together — expect zero privacy. If you’re looking for a quiet, secluded spot, this won’t be the right park. That said, it’s well-equipped and thoughtfully laid out. You get full hookups, paved parking spots, and smooth access throughout. The park features two pools, including one indoor, and offers useful extras like food trucks with coffee and ice cream in the mornings, and a convenient station for fresh water, tire pressure, and vacuuming — perfect given how sandy the entire area is. The front office staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed here for three nights and found there was more than enough to do without needing to leave. Our kids loved it, and we appreciated how RV-friendly the setup was. Just expect lots of sand — everywhere — and make sure to rinse your bike or RV tires before heading out. If you’re okay with a little crowding and love being right on the beach, this is a solid choice.

This place is such a GEM!!! It is the only place like in on the whole Florida coast! The private beach access is worth the visit alone but the also have an activity center, 2 convenient shops, Ice, laundry, showers, 2 pools and so many fun activities. I am lucky enough to lead the yoga class on Tuesday and Thursday mornings and the views never disappoint! If you are ever in the area this place is a MUST!

The beach location is beautiful but small. Campsites are a little tight but different styles to choose from. Bath houses were nice. Pool and hot were ok but dirty. Pool with slide was closed. Too many speed bumps. The loud garbage truck and gas yard equipment was unwelcome early in the morning. Three stars only because overall it's a nice place to visit but the cost was too high to return. The state parks down the road are a third of the cost.

Absolutely beautiful campground. Was actually nicer than we expected. The bath houses were the nicest we’ve ever seen, and the activities center was great for our kids… and us too! The sites are a little tight the closer you get to the beach, but if you’re a half decent driver you won’t have any problems getting parked. We didn’t get to stay on an ocean front site because we have a dog, but were a few rows back in the 600 area which was great. Could still see the blue/green water from our windows. Staff was very welcoming and came right out to greet us when we pulled in and had all our paperwork ready. Very well-ran place. Can’t wait to come back again!

This is the most amazing campground. Hands down. Absolutely breathtaking views. Staff is awesome and always happy. Neighbors were great, I've never seen a group of happier people. Safe location, I even fell asleep on the beach one night without a care in the world! I can't wait to come back!! It will be soon!!

If you want to be within walking distance to the gulf coast Beach regardless of price, comfort, space and noise this is for you. Beautiful beaches you can walk to, tiny spaces, too many lights and too much noise. And more per night than I EVER paid. Why did I stay? An emergency situation forced me to leave my chosen campground so I got screwed. Never coming back.

The beach here is absolutely stunning. The park is great and the community that seems to gather there is very friendly. no dogs allowed on the beach. We were told you get fined if you do. RV park has places for the pups though.

Best beach. Great Thanksgiving feast hosted by owners. Another cookout tomorrow! My hackers won’t let me update the information but the phone number is different and the name of the campground is different it’s called camping on thegulf.com

We had an incredible family vacation at Camp Gulf. They are under new ownership and have really gone out of their way to make this a place you don't want to leave. We stayed in a cabin and really enjoyed the pool and other amenities they offer, and of course had prime access to the beach. Also, easy walking to anything around Miramar Beach.
