Camping near Paxton, Florida
Paxton sits at the top of Walton County on the Florida-Alabama line, about an hour north of Destin and the Emerald Coast beaches. The town is best known as the neighbor of Britton Hill, Florida's highest natural point at 345 feet above mean sea level, and for the chain of freshwater lakes that stretch across the state border. RV travelers use Paxton as a quieter, inland base for Panhandle trips.
Campground options near town run from full-service lakeside resorts to state park sites. Sunset King Lake RV Resort sits on King Lake, approximately 580 acres and well stocked with black bass, crappie, shell-cracker, catfish, and bream, with pull-thru sites that can accommodate rigs up to 65 feet in length, plus cable, Wi-Fi, a boat ramp, and cabin rentals. Twin Lakes Camp Resort and The Oaks Family RV Park and Campground offer additional private-park stays in the area, while Blue Lake Camp and Retreat Center provides a group-oriented lakeside setting.
Just across the Alabama line near Opp, Frank Jackson State Park adds a public-agency option. This 2,050-acre park, located near Opp, Alabama, is a hot spot for anglers thanks to its main attraction, the 1,000-acre Lake Jackson.
Things to do around Paxton
Fishing drives most trips. King Lake is well stocked with black bass, crappie, shell-cracker, catfish, and bream, and the lake has yielded a 17 1/4 pounder. At Frank Jackson State Park, Lake Frank Jackson is specially stocked and managed for prime freshwater fishing, with bass, bream, crappie, and catfish abundant, and a pedestrian bridge spanning a section of the lake eases the trip between the playground and campground and serves as a wetland wildlife viewing area.
On land, families visit Lakewood Park on Britton Hill, Florida's high point of 345 feet, and walk the short trail loops through the surrounding woods. Frank Jackson State Park adds more than three miles of walking trails, picnic areas, lakefront RV camping, a modern bathhouse, and a boardwalk leading to an island in the lake.
Day trips are easy: Destin and the sugar-sand Gulf shore sit south down US 331, and the Conecuh National Forest is within an hour for paddling and forest hiking.
