What a treasure trove of surprises delivered by Topsail Hill. The Ranger's Office was highly efficient -- full hook-ups at every level site -- a private 3.5 mile white sand beach with massive dunes on the Gulf -- 3 huge fresh water lakes -- a nice cafe and park store -- and miles and miles of paved bike paths! Our Christmas vacation here exceeded our highest expectations. BTW if you have a Class C or A -- you may want to avoid site #27. We have a Class B and had no problem parking, but this site has 2 trees at the entry which may challenge entry for wider and longer RVs.

This is a state park with RV park like amenities like a pool, a coffee shop, bike/kayak rental shop, shuffleboard courts, a beach shuttle, full hook ups, and more.
Unfortunately it also feels more like an RV park with tighter site spacing and less privacy particularly in sites 1-56. The loop with sites 101-168 has more vegetation and a more private feel. We were in spot 42 and could see at least 5 other rigs on all sides of us from our spot.
The park has tons of bike trails that will take you to coastal dune lakes and the beach, so definitely bring your bikes. If you don’t plan to ride your bike or take the shuttle to the beach, it is walkable but a long walk (about 1 mile each way). There is nowhere in the park to drive your car and park right next to the beach.
There is tons to do in the area with Destin only a few minutes away- outlet mall, big box stores, mini golf, gator places, beach bars, and more.
Internet was adequate for working and streaming with both AT&T and Verizon.
Laundry was $1.50/wash and $1.50/dry, bathhouses we’re clean and shower water got nice and hot.

This state park is gorgeous. Very clean and quiet. Staff and volunteers super helpful and friendly. camping is locate 0.5 to 1 mile of the beach depending on your site. Site #20 was 1 mile from the beach. Very pleasant and easy walk but if you may also take a tram that runs hourly. Coffee shop is great with wifi of 120mbps (if you seat close to the Park Office; there’s an outside table with power outlet there). Overall signal is great even on the beach (Verizon)
Kids love the fishing ponds and even found a baby alligator which become the main attraction daily.
Park is located close to stores, gas station, etc. full hookups with everything working great.
Will definitely come back again if possible

Tented camped for a week. Plenty of space to set up your campsite as you wish. Friendly staff. Beautiful private beach. Facilities are clean. Quiet. Very safe for kids to walk around and bike. Close proximity to Walmart (for food, supplies, etc.). Campground store, located at the entrance, is great. I wish they had a drinks / ice cream shop down at the beach as well.
I would definitely come back here.
One zonk, or rather opportunity for improvement, is about the parking for tent campers. You cannot park the vehicle next to the camp site - depending on your tent site, it might be a ~100 yards or so. But you do need to carry all your gear from the parking area to the tent site. It is not such big of a deal in itself, but some families arrive with a trailer and park both the vehicle and the trailer at the parking area close to the tent sites, taking up two spots. This is particularly a problem when two (or three) families share one tent site and bring multiple vehicles - this means that sometimes we were forced to park further away from the closest parking area to our tent site. The campground should have a designated parking area for tent campers, where they can leave their trailers. For the same reason, they should also limit how many vehicles you can park close to your tent, and move the rest to an overflow area. Not a huge deal, but inconvenient a bit as we keep some of our things in the truck and want it accessible.

This is the ultimate 5/5 star campground, very well maintained. We walked to the beach everyday (shuttle available as well). The beach was one of the best we have been too. the bathrooms are spotless. We will be back!

So many things to love about this campground. Let me begin with the clean, mostly shaded, and mostly level campsites, that include sewer. The majority, but not all, have enough vegetation between sites to create some privacy. The grounds are well kept. Nice to have a coffee shop on site plus a small camp store. Looked like a nice laundry facility, but we did not use it. There's shuffleboard and horseshoe as well as a very small swimming pool (but smartly closed at this time due to COVID). We thoroughly enjoyed the pedestrian and bikes only paved roads to the beach (just less than a mile) and lake. A tram ran every 30 minutes from about 9 AM to 6 PM while we were there. Nighttime walks on these paths offered a chorus of sounds, from croaking and chirping frogs to the nocturnal Chuck-will's-widow. Saw deer near the path and a small alligator in one of the ponds. Folks were super friendly, including staff and campground hosts. The beach is as good as you'll find anywhere in Florida--white and fine grained. We explored the artificial reef that's 750 feet off the beach (called "Seahorse reef"). It was choppy (at least 12 MPH winds and 2-3 foot swells; yellow flag), so the visibility was poor but there are a lot of fish out there. The most interesting thing we saw was a harmless nurse shark. Verizon cellular service seemed really good through out the park and campsites EXCEPT our site (site 89). When hot-spotting my phone, download and upload speeds were 0.41 and .09 MBPS. My Verizon Jetpack did better (~4.0 and ~1.0 MBPS avg). When I sat at the amphitheater (or anywhere else), the signal was good enough for (many) flawless Zoom meetings.

Topsail is a beautiful campground, most sites pretty level . Clean and well kept . Our site backed up to a pond with large lily pads in it! There is a tram to a beautiful beach. Good hot showers , laundry. Downside- hard to get a reservation, and in heavy rain ( which we came in with ) there is some flooding .

We stayed 2 nights here and wished we were able to plan for more. It it a beautiful, quiet location that has bike & hike trails, and one of the beautiful beaches I've ever seen. Pure white quartz sand that looks like sugar. The days that we went to the beach the water visibility was a few feet. The fishermen that we talked to said it is usually 100 feet, and the relative murkiness was due to the recent torrential rainstorm with muddy water draining into the ocean from the adjacent forests. The beach is a 0.7mile walk, bike ride, or tram ride from the main campground; all within the state park. The sites are beautiful and have great privacy, due to the jungle growth between them. We stayed in both sites 90 and 114 and 90 is preferred over 114, as it is closer to the tram-stop and slightly quieter when sitting outside, as 114 is close to the adjacent roadway. Bath houses are well constructed and maintained. These are all full hookup sites, so the relatively high price is probably to be expected. This would be a great place to spend 2 weeks at.

Lucky to get a Saturday and Sunday night. Lots of room and foliage between campsites. Ours was 3/4 mi walk to beach. 15+ mile paved trail out of traffic just outside coffee shop. Rode all the way up to Fort Walton beach. Beautiful area and surf.
