Henderson Beach Campground

Destin, FL

Henderson Beach Campground offers 60 sites with water and electric hookups nestled among secondary sand dunes just a short walk from the Emerald Coast shoreline.

Henderson Beach Campground is a quiet retreat located within Henderson Beach State Park in the heart of Destin. The facility features 60 well-developed campsites positioned within a secondary dune system, providing protection from the coastal winds while remaining just a short walk from over a mile of sugar-white sand beaches and emerald waters. Each site is equipped with water and electric hookups, a ground grill, and a picnic table. On-site amenities include climate-controlled bathhouses with hot showers and coin-operated laundry facilities. Beyond the beach, visitors can explore a nature trail that winds through some of the last remaining coastal scrub communities in the Panhandle, home to gopher tortoises and diverse birdlife. The park's location provides easy access to Destin’s popular waterfront attractions, including Destin Harbor and local seafood dining. While the campground offers a serene natural setting, it is situated conveniently off Highway 98, making it a functional stop for travelers navigating the Florida Panhandle.
