We reserved for an overnight stay at the campground and enjoyed our experience! We saw deer, gopher tortoise, baby armadillo, interesting birds, and raccoon! Make sure to pick up all items from the picnic table at your site while chatting around the fire at night. The raccoon are gutsy and anxious to see for themselves what goodies you might have brought! You can fish, bring your child to the playground, hike nature trails and canoe. The sound of the forest is loud overnight and enjoyable, but if you are used to complete silence to achieve sleep late at night I would recommend to pack some ear plugs. The campground and restrooms were clean and well-kept. A very nice little getaway spot in nature!

This Florida State Park is a gem in the rough. Its 3 miles back from route 1 right off of route 95. Small park with only 30 sites. Every spot is secluded from each other. The maintenance guy will even rake every spot out for the next campers. Wow it's like being in the jungle but with electricity and water at every spot. There is a dump station. Bathrooms are clean with showers. Perfect location to visit St Augustine. Loved this place!

If you want to be alone this is the place. Be prepared with bug spray for tics and skeeters. T-Mobile worked fairly well. Road in is in terrible condition and quite a poke back. Slow and easy if pulling a trailer.

Spent one night at site 22 in February. Beautiful long, winding drive through native Florida to enter the campground. All roads, paths and campsites are sand. Site was easy to park and level with easy connection to electric and water. Included fire ring and picnic table as well as clothes line (with included line). Walked both trails (.5 mile behind site #16 and 3 mile behind check in). We did see multiple signs to watch for ticks but did not see any. Did not use the one bath house or dump area. One to two bars cell signal with cricket/mint. No stations picked up by antenna. Very convenient to head into St Augustine and enjoy great restaurants! Very small campground loop that is close to I95 but never heard any traffic, just loud and echoing barking dogs from a neighboring campsite. A great stop on our way back to ocean front rental vrbo #4749786 in Cape Canaveral!

This is a really nice park. The campsites were large and we'll kept. No troubles with the water or electric. If I have a complaint it is that the bathrooms were not as well kept as some of the other parks I have been too. On the flip side, there was no shortage of hot water...so you win some, you lose some. The fishing dock and kayak launch were really nice. I would definitely go back. One thing to be mindful of. If you are tent camping (I was) depending on where your site is, you could be looking at some flooding. We were in spot 17 and a 20 minute down pour flooded our tent. Our friends were in Spot 20 and there tent took some water. So if there is rain in the forecast prepare accordingly.

I came here to hike the trails. There are two nature walk trails totaling around 4 to 5 miles. All of the roads are sand. The southern side of the entire park is on Pellicer Creek. This entire area is full of alligators. You cannot go swimming. Also be careful, stay on the trail and check yourself for ticks. The bathrooms were clean and the boat launch was nice with floating docks. It was very quiet on the nature trails. You could not hear any cars. Overall. I would give this park a thumbs up for a nice day trip. I did not camp here.

It's a little hidden gem right off of 95, covered Pavillion picnic tables, clean restroom, hiking trails, kayak launch/rentals, fishing dock. Perfect place to stop for a picnic and outdoor activities
