We stayed at Topsail Hill Preserve State Park a couple of months ago.  Not
to our taste.  It's the only state park I've ever seen that's called a
"resort," but that pretty well describes it.  It's big, mostly populated by
snow birds in mega-campers.  There's a shuttle to the beach or you can walk
about a mile to get there.  It was raining, so we didn't explore the park
trails.

The weird thing is that there is only one run-down restroom for the RV
campground, with one shower.  Tent campers fare a little better; their
bathroom is a lot newer.

Not sure why you want to be near Destin, but I liked Fort Pickens National
Park, about a hours drive west of Destin.  The massive fort is well worth
visiting.  There's a museum nearby that tells the story of the fort.  The
beach is just a short distance across the street from the campground.  If
you're into aviation, the National Naval Aviation Museum is a must see in
Pensacola.
