Manager's Message

*IMPORTANT NEWS * We are very excited to announce several ongoing construction projects that consist of building an entrance station, a new road to the campground to help RV traffic flow, a playground, additional cabins and new tent campsites with a bathhouse. However, we do not have tent sites currently available. We are also constructing a mile tram path to Campbell Lake that will include a restroom and picnic area that will have water and electricity. We hope you are as excited as we are about our new additions. For your safety, please remember to stay out of construction areas. Thank You! July is Florida State Parks Month and a great time of the year to enjoy a summer vacation at Topsail Hill Preserve State Park. If you are planning on visiting our park this summer, please be prepared. Bring plenty of sunscreen and educate yourself on our flag warning system. You may access the current flag conditions by visiting www.swfd.org/. We will display the flag conditions at both of our day-use entrances on Hwy 30A and Hwy 98. Come and join us for some exciting interpretive programs this month. On July 5th at 9am we will have “Breakfast with a Ranger.” Join the rangers and ask them all of the questions you can think about park wildlife in our Breakfast with a Ranger Program. To cover the cost of food, please bring $3 which goes to Friends of Topsail Hill Preserve State Park to enhance the park or bring your own breakfast. On Saturday July 12th at 9AM in the clubhouse we will have a “Wildlife Puppet Show” that is great for kids and adults. Join Ranger Chris Roberts at the clubhouse as he presents his program on the Endangered Beach Mouse on Saturday July 19th at 9AM. Ranger Chris Horkman will present his Wild World of Spiders program on July 26th at 9AM at the clubhouse. For all of the above programs come to the Day-Use area off of Hwy 30A and follow the signs to the Clubhouse. All of the above programs require an entrance fee of $2.00. To learn more about these programs, please visit our Events page or contact Leda Suydan at (850)267-0299 or email at Leda.Suydan@dep.state.fl.us.

Welcome to Topsail Hill Preserve State Park

This park offers a wide variety of natural resources including 3.2 miles of secluded, white sand beaches with majestic dunes over 25 feet tall. Three rare coastal dune lakes provide excellent freshwater fishing. Although boats are not allowed, fishing from the shoreline yields bass, bream, panfish, and catfish. Lakes, pristine beaches, old-growth long leaf pines, sand pine scrub, and a variety of wetlands offer a bird-watching and hiking paradise. Visitors may bike, walk, or enjoy a quick ride to the beach on our timely tram service to swim, fish, sunbathe, or beachcomb. Gregory E. Moore RV resort features a (non-heated) swimming pool and shuffleboard courts. Furnished bungalows are available for weekly stays.
