Camp Grounds near K&M shooting center.

Look at Henderson Beach State Park in Destin. It's a little ways away, but really nice location and close to many things to do for the family.
Was looking at something close to K&M for the match. Not sure if Ill start the Vacation off at the match or end it at the match. Still looking at planning it out. But i am going with relocating as the family wants to camp near the beach...

you should just be about to camp out there. they have bathroom and shower facilities. contact Ryan with big dog steel or Bryan with K&M
Looking for a place near by to stay with our 35' toyhauler that I could drive in each day for match. Not sure at this point if we will start the trip out with me shooting the match or end with the match, but the rest of the family would like to hit Destin or surrounding areas for a few days. At this point I'm just looking at the possibles as I'm not 100% if it will be a go or not. If there is camping on site that would be neat but not necessary as a State Park or Campground near by would be perfect! I'm still searching it out right now, just thought I would check and see if anyone else knew of a site.
I would consider, at this late date, parking the 35 footer and the family near the beach and driving to the range from there. Indiana, yeah, park em by the Gulf.
I will second Henderson Beach as a camping spot, but with a few caveats. It will take you between 90 minutes and 2 hours (depending on route and traffic) to get from Henderson beach to the range. If you don't cut through Fort Walton Beach, you will have to cross a toll bridge (and now a toll road, I believe) to get to the range from Destin, as well. The good news is Henderson Beach is on the Gulf, and right by Wal-Mart, 2-3 miles from Destin Commons (Bass Pro, movie theater, tons of stores, Best Buy across the street), and maybe 8-10 miles from Silver Sands Outlet. Since you said you would be bringing your family, that may be appealing.
There are also campgrounds available a little farther east in Santa Rosa Beach and Grayton beach. They are quieter than Henderson, but will take a little more driving to reach shopping and the range, but you eliminate the toll bridge/road. There are plenty of great restaurants in that area, too, but they are more expensive. From the Santa Rosa Beach area, it's about 85-90 miles to K&M, with a 15-20 mile stretch of that being on I-10.
I know there are some camping areas to the north (such as Hurricane Lake, which is just a few miles from K&M) but they will be a more significant drive from the beach and major shopping, plus many of those areas have limited to no cell phone reception.
If you have any specific questions on the area (especially along the Gulf), let me know or shoot me a PM. I live in the Santa Rosa Beach/Sandestin/Miramar Beach area, and commute through Destin and Fort Walton every day.

You can look at Bear Lake or Krul Lake both are just down the road from the range. Maybe 10 miles.
Hell it takes 20 min to get down the dirt road to get to K&M, and there is NOTHING in Baker. Might as well look at places in Crestview as Destin is a good 45-1hr away.
