Grayton Beach is one of the few areas with relatively unmolested
old growth.  There are lots of picteresque little inland lakes
giving you options of kayaking.  The Grayton area itself
comprises of a few dozen closely-built homes surrounded by
shrubbery and those wonderful twisted Florida dwarf pines.  It's
like getting away from the obvious commercialized areas without
having to go far.  I bet a parked Westy overnight would not
raise many concerns from the locals and vacationers.
