Henderson Beach State Park features more than 6,000 feet of scenic shoreline bordering the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Dogs are allowed at Henderson Beach State Park Campground and trails for no additional fee. Bring your pups to witness Florida's sugar-white sands and the shimmering emerald coastline, but ensure that you keep them on a leash no longer than six-feet long when outside your vehicle. Dogs are allowed at tent sites but not the cabins or beach. And lastly, pets cannot be left unattended at the campsites. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking sunsets while relaxing by the warm crystal clear water of the Gulf.

Camp Gulf is the Destination RV Park of Northwest Florida. Pull right up on the white-sand beaches and peer out into the dazzling Emerald Coast from your camper. Dogs are allowed, but they must be kept on a leash no longer than six feet when outside your vehicle. Pet owners are required to sign a pet lease upon arrival. Pets are not allowed on the beach, beach front sites, or tent campers. Camp Gulf also offers pet-friendly cabins.
