I moved here recently. Most of the places that I have looked around at here are heavily geared towards RVs. I know I can tent camp at these places but I would rather go somewhere a little more like a campground than a resort.


Answer
In your part of the state your best choices probably are state or Corps campgrounds. Here are two links to state campgrounds and one for the Corps.

If you don't mind driving a distance the Ocala National Forest allows dispersed camping outside of campgrounds. It also has a lot of small primitive campgrounds. Here's the link.

You probably don't need reservations this time of the year but during tourist season it's almost a must.
Welcome to Florida

Is there any beach in North Florida or Alabama where you can camp in tents?

I've been checking around for primitive camping sites in the Northern Florida Panhandle and Gulf Shores, Alabama where the tents can be set up on the beach instead of nearby areas. It seems that most camping areas are now set as RV parks and tent camping always seems to be delegated to remote locations away from the beach. We are looking for the experience of sleeping near the water to be able to fall asleep hearing the waves.


Answer
Gulf Coast State Park in Gulf Shores, Alabama has primitive camp sites but again it is across from the beach but still within walking distance. I believe there are regulations on camping on coastal properties that no longer allow "Beach camping"
