We have camped at Henderson for years, tent and camper. The campsites are spotless, very private by landscape and they have the cleanest air conditioned showers. The beach area is reserved for campers only and it feels private as well. Love this campground, there is no comparison.

Nature walks, the white sand beach .. great for an afternoon or camping. Right in town. Area has convenient shelter house/showers and is really close to Destin, restaurants - even major shopping across the highway. Great for casual beach and nature exploring or for longer term camping.

We made a visit to Henderson Beach. Our kids loved the water and caught minnows. The water is so clear and light green. Bring your goggles and masks. Our friend found a live starfish on the bottom. This beach is a hidden gem and must see if you are driving through.

We always visit Henerson Beach State Park when we are not at a coast property. It is clean, the staff is friendly, it is safe and we just enjoy how well it is taken care of.

We've never had an issue... More
