Was concerned initially about booking here, because of reviews, but we just stayed here for 5 nights, including a move of campsite because we stayed an extra night and we had a wonderful experience. Yes, there are a good many rules, but where are there not rules in this life and I believe the rules made for a better camping... More

We typically take our summer beach trip to Orange Beach and enjoy staying at a condo on the beach. This year we decided to try Camp Gulf in Destin since some in our family enjoy camping and would be able to park their camper on the beach. The rest of the family decided to book one of Camp Gulf's cabins.... More

Thank you for taking the time to write a review (and a comment sheet as you left). Glad you had a safe trip home! We did read your comment sheet and in fact used it in our office staff meeting.

First of all let me state that we stay in scores of rv parks as we travel in our rv for months at a time. We have never experienced feeling the way we felt here. This place is not cheap, $120.00 a night so one might expect some customer service. We figured the park looked nice and we would spend... More

We found the campground to be very nice and clean and good location. The other campers we met were great! However, I have to give a negative review with regard to customer service. Although we found most of the staff to be exceptionally friendly and helpful, it was hit and miss. There were more than a few times we were... More

We camped here over our spring break and this place is very nice in the sense that it is right on the water....and the water and sand are as bright in person as on their pictures!!! We chose this place because it had full hookups, was on the beach, had an indoor and outdoor pool and had a big waterslide.... More

On a good note the staff were very friendly and helpful but that does not support the price vs value issues this outdated RV resort has. We had an upper campground site back from the beach and close by the pool and bath house. Upon arrival the staff guided us to our site and assisted with the parking of our... More

We stayed 12 nights at Camp Gulf and had a great time, the staff was for the most part very friendly and helpful (one gal who works the desk was a bit rude but there always has to be one bad apple I suppose), all the others were super nice and helpful. The grounds are well maintained and the bathhouses... More

Our motorcoach broke down on the way to Florida. We called Campgulf ten day in advance ( as soon as our back end of our RV went out). Long story short they were not willing to rebook us, and took our money with a smile on their face. We were willing to show proof of break down and how long... More

First of all, when I made reservations, the person I spoke with chose the site. I told her the size of our trailer and just let her put us where there was an opening. When we arrived, the whole park was pretty much vacant except for the beach front lots and the lots up close to the front entrance (which... More
