Topsail Hill Preserve State Park (Gregory E. Moore RV Resort)

Topsail Hill Preserve State Park is a Florida state park on Scenic Highway 30A in Santa Rosa Beach on the Panhandle, and its campground, the Gregory E. Moore RV Resort, is the answer to a question RVers ask constantly: a Florida state park with full hookups on a genuinely wild stretch of Gulf beach. It suits big rigs that want sewer at the site, a pool and quiet state-park culture, with more than three miles of undeveloped beach reached by a paved path or the park tram. It is one of the most demanded campgrounds in the Florida system.

Why RVers stay here

Topsail Hill Preserve State Park is a Florida state park on Scenic Highway 30A in Santa Rosa Beach on the Panhandle, and its campground, the Gregory E. Moore RV Resort, is the answer to a question RVers ask constantly: a Florida state park with full hookups on a genuinely wild stretch of Gulf beach. It suits big rigs that want sewer at the site, a pool and quiet state-park culture, with more than three miles of undeveloped beach reached by a paved path or the park tram. It is one of the most demanded campgrounds in the Florida system.

The practical picture comes with a verification note. Our review could not load the official page, so the full-hookup, paved pull-through and back-in description reflects the park's long-standing published profile, and site counts, amperage, pad lengths, nightly rates and the tram schedule must be confirmed on the Florida State Parks reservation system. Reservations open 11 months ahead and peak dates fill the same day. Sites are inland behind the dunes, roughly three-quarters of a mile from the sand, so bring bikes. Winter is the easiest time to get in. The trade-off is that the beach that makes it special is a path or tram ride away rather than at your door.

  • Full hookups (water, sewer, electric) inside a Florida state park, rare in the system
  • More than three miles of undeveloped Gulf beach with no condos on it
  • Paved sites laid out for motorhomes and fifth wheels, plus a pool, camp store, laundry and bungalows
  • Rare coastal dune lakes for paddling and fishing inside the park
  • Cheaper than the private 30A and Destin resorts for a full-hookup site in season
  • !Not beachfront; the beach is roughly three-quarters of a mile away by path or tram, and the tram schedule is unverified
  • !Extreme demand; book at 11 months for spring, summer and winter monthly stays
  • !Rates, site count, amperage and pad lengths were not verifiable for 2026; use the live reservation listing

Our verdict

Book Topsail Hill if you drive a big rig, want sewer at your site inside a state park and would rather have a wild beach at the end of a bike path than a resort at your door, and book it 11 months out. Skip it if you want to step off the rig onto sand.

Florida State Parks sets the nightly rate and adds a reservation fee and tax; the total shows in the live reservation system. We could not verify a 2026 figure from the park's own page, so check the quote rather than a third-party number.

What is the max RV length at Topsail Hill Preserve State Park?

The resort was designed for full-size motorhomes and fifth wheels with paved pads, but pad lengths vary by site. Filter the reservation system by your actual equipment length and read the site record.

Is Topsail Hill's RV park on the beach?

No. The sites sit inland behind the dune system, roughly three-quarters of a mile from the Gulf by paved path or the park tram. Confirm the tram schedule with the park before relying on it; bikes are the easy answer.
