We spent 2 nights last month (October 2012) at Gamble Rogers State Park (Flagler Beach, FL). This Florida State Park has been voted AMERICA's Best State Park two separate years!! It is spectacular!! I don't know of another State Park where you can stay on the dunes! The sunrise over the ocean is breathtaking!
I am a Florida native who hates the beach (yes, we do exist). But, this park has made a believer out of me! Our children enjoyed playing on the beach most of the days, but when we felt like "hoofing it," we "wore" our babies and took a fantastic family hike on the Joe Kenner Trail---this is a coastal hammock trail (about 1/2 long) that is well marked with interpretive signs/explanations of vegetation, etcetera.
I hesitate to tell you how great this park is...primarily because there are only 34 sites and they are ALL booked every day of every year!! (We happened to be checking the park out online and saw that two days in a row were available at the last minute, albeit--in the middle of the week. Boy, was it worth it to upend all of our "regular" plans and "rough it" for a few days of postcard worthy camping!!!)
So, Gamble Rogers State Park is HIGHLY recommended!! (Although, my husband will not be happy for the competition for a campsite!
