Nudity will leave you defenseless against a sudden unexpected onslaught of zombie terrorists.

I have no need to defend my naked self against my heathen (terrorists don't believe in Islam) brothers. I would readily join their brain-lusting cause!

They might not go for your brains first my friend. What if they're GAY zombie terrorists. What then indeed.

Lower mammals can be gay. When was the last time you heard about spider monkeys with a political agenda?

edit: ok the yurt got nixt because it's not by the beach. but let it be known that if i'm ever in charge of choosing a spring break trip we're totally staying in a yurt.

erm well i need to at least be in town for both saturdays around the break. plus if V is not running in a meet over the break we're probably going to stay w/her sister who lives in Panama City for a few days. I won't really konw until like a couple of weeks before the break anyway. Her uncle has a beach house down there but that would only be an option if he says its ok and if V isn't running in the meet. otherwise it might could be free . . . . . .. . . very might tho. anyway it might be fun to go to panama city as our last big bash even just staying at a hotel . . . ?

You weren't at our meeting tonight :-p. We decided that camping was the best option since it's cheap.

Mike - our current plan is to go camping in a yurt if possible at a beach in the vicinity of Panama City.
Issues:
Alcohol is prohibited in all state parks in Florida. I don't know how strictly that's enforced but ideally I think we should minimize additional arrests this year. I seriously doubt it would be much of a problem at our campsite but on the beach would be more difficult to conceal. Much less of an issue if we're near a public beach (Destin or PC) where alcohol isn't prohibited.
Full facility is only that if you have an RV. Electricity and water is only readily available for RVs though anyone expecting electricity obviously misunderstood our intent. There is generally access to bathrooms with showers though I would expect they are rather communal at most sites.
Specifics:
-The distance to each park is about the same around 6 hours from Atlanta St. Joseph was about 45 minutes more.
-St. Joseph is a little bit more removed from civilized areas which might make food a bit of an issue since we'll most likely be eating out most of the week. It also makes it difficult if anyone wants to go to PC or something like that. Also from my knowledge of Florida beaches I don't think Port St. Joe is as nice as others. I'm give this one a thumbs down.
-Topsail Hill from looking at the map seems like it would be a little difficult to get to the beach even with an optimal campsite (I could be wrong on this let me know if you think otherwise). I'm sure the smaller towns around Topsail have fast food stuff but it doesn't seem like it would have as much as being closer to a bigger city (Destin or PC). Bonus: has bungalows...sure we're not going to stay in one but it has bungalows.
-St. Andrews is pretty much in the middle of PC. Easy access to PC Beach and its spring break parties area will probably be pretty crowded although I don't think our spring break is a top week. Testimonials on the park webpage mentioned limited bathroom facilities (though it was under renovation so the problem might be resolved).
-Henderson Beach has nice access to Destin which could probably provide us with plenty of entertainment. Not as big of a party spot as PC but there would likely still be spring breakers around. It's only about 45 minutes from PC if anyone still wanted to do that. Campsite includes access to coin operated washer/dryer facilites and a playground. Reviews noted clean bathrooms which are heated/air conditioned.
My vote is for Henderson or St. Andrews I don't really care which.
Awesome facts:
The Florida State Parks Rules and Regulations concerning pets contains an exemption for non-human primates of the genus Cebus.
Also non-furbearing animals including fish must be confined at all times so it would be illegal to allow your pet fish to take a swim in the ocean.
Sadly barnyard animals are specifically prohibited.
