RVing here for 2 weeks. Loving every minute. Slab sites with full hook ups and cable ( former private park). Gorgeous bike/pedestrian-only trails. Nature trails. 3-miles of beautiful beach dedicated to the park. People are respectful of one another and it is extremely quiet. Our new favorite Florida State Park.

This park is beautiful, well maintained..one of my favorite and I have been to many parks all over the nation. They provide a shuttle to the beach but we rented bikes which we loved. The paths/roads around the park are so beautiful. There is one to Campbell Lake which we took and really enjoyed it. The sites are well maintained;... More

Clean, clean, clean. The clientele at this park is not what you see at other parks. They are well mannered, clean, quiet and most of all respectful of others. This is by far one of the finest State run parks my family has ever visited. We stayed on the back left section. 150 range. The sites are perfectly laid out... More

Topsail is a wonderful place to stay. This was my 2nd stay in the cabins and had a wonderful time. There is a tram that shuttles you to and from the beach every hour. Or, if you would rather walk or bike, the half mile trek to the beach is a very nice, paved road. The campground and beaches are... More

This was our second Spring Break camping trip at Topsail and just like the first time it was great. When we camp we look for quiet, private and relaxed. Topsail fits the bill 100%. We are always amazed at how the sound of the ocean waves about 1/2 mile away are the loudest sound in the park. We chose tent... More

We spent spring break here with our family of seven and another family. The wooded camp sites are very nice and clean. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The free shuttle to the beach is nice and convenient. The beach is perfect, beautiful white sand and crystal clear water. Great store, bathhouses and laundry facility.

We have stayed here several times. The park is very nice and the beach is immaculate. The sites are very small and narrow and most pads are cracked and are not level. I wouldn't hesitate to come back . Its very quite.

Designated a preserve I expected to see wildlife but that wasn't to be the case. The RV camping has all the amenities. We had full hookups including cable TV. The RV sites are $42. a night. The pull ins are concrete pads. There is tent camping, each site has water and electricity but don't look for much shade. The bath... More
