The Briar Point Campground at the Stonewall Resort in the mountains of West Virginia is located on a peninsula on Stonewall Jackson Lake, a beautiful site surrounded by water. The campground is within walking distance of the main lodge offering several restaurants, an 18 hole golf course, marina, pool, and other amenities. The campground has 30 amp power at all sites. The sites are nicely landscaped and well separated. It's the only campground I've ever been in where you get the local newspaper delivered to your site each morning. There is a 10% discount for seniors. Campground Tips The campground is a loop with the nicer sites on the outside of the loop backing up to the lake.

Right off Interstate I-10 in the Hill Country of Texas, near Kerrville five miles away. Large paved level sites with great bathrooms, showers, and great pool. Great place to relax and drive through the Hill Country and along the Guadalupe River. Deer everywhere, so driving through this area at night is not advised. They raise deer here for hunting enthusiasts, just like cattle are raised elsewhere.

We love the white sand beaches of Destin, Florida. This is a full service campground with sites available on the beach. Yes, directly on the beach. Those sites are water and power only all others are full hook ups. The on the beach sites get tank pump out service. Close to all the Destinations, attractions and food. Campground Tips Check out the website and take your pick.

Henderson Beach State Park if you can get a reservation is also high on our list. Gregeory Moore / Topsail Beach State Park is also a great place to visit. Obviously the state parks are more economical but you don't get the beach access like you do at Camp Gulf.

The park is huge and includes a "Grand Strand" beach. The beach goes on for miles and is suitable for riding a bike on. There is access to the beach from 3 locations within the park, 2 of which are in the campground. There are always interesting birds and wildlife to see in the park. Amenities could be a little improved, but the location and scenery are worth the small inconveniences.
