Anyone do any RVing around 30a, the Florida Panhandle. What's the best, the state parks like Topsail or the private RV Parks? I am thinking about going for a week or 2 weeks, probably in September or October. I am thinking we want to avoid spring break kids. What tips or tricks or suggestions do you have? |

Florida has a 28 or 30 day rule for places like hotels and camp grounds to keep that sort of stuff to a minimum I know a couple Camp grounds even make the Snow birds switch spots in the camp ground to comply. There is some really nice ones, It would depend what area's you are really interested in checking out here |

If it coincides with scallop season, it will be crowded. |

I have seen many nice places don't offer them, because either they fill with short term fees or don't want the headache of long time folks. RV parks are quite an eclectic bit of America. |

We didn't hit 30A, but did Pensacola and Gulf Shores, AL last month. Gulf State Park near Gulf Shores was really nice. They have 500 RV spots, but the way the campground is broken up, it feels like a much smaller park when you are at your site. The state park also has about 2 1/2 miles of unspoiled beach that you have access to as part of your camping fees. I would recommend it highly. The Naval Air Museum in Pensacola was incredible. Plan for a full day, or two if you have time and a patient spouse. It's only about a 30 minute ride from Gulf State Park. If you time it right, you will see the Blue Angels practicing. |
