That whole area of the Gulf Coast has been badly damaged by recent hurricanes. We stayed at Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores, AL this fall. It was badly mangled, but the sites have all been rebuilt with paved pads, 50 amp power, water, and sewer. Compared to what it used to be like, there is a lot of damage to vegetation and wildlife, but it is coming back. It is about 50 miles west of Pensacola. It is an easy drive from the noth, most of the way straight down I-65. I don't know how you drive, but I could not see me making it in one day. If you need an overnight stopover, there is a campground called "Texas T", at I-65 exit 27, about 50 miles south of Nashville TN, that makes a good overnight stop. It is close to the highway and easy to get to.
I hope you enjoy your trip, but be prepard to see some hurricane damage.
