The Perfect Slice of Campground Heaven

What makes Faver-Dykes State Park Campground simply outstanding, apart from ticking all of these boxes, is that it is perhaps one of the best maintained campgrounds in a public state park that I have ever seen (and I’ve seen quite a few). First, after taking exit 298 off I95, you’ll cross the threshold of Faver-Dykes in under 10 minutes and immediately be swallowed up by Longleaf Pines and Saw Palmettos. Here, you’ll have countless opportunities to put out the perfect picnic spread on any number of brand new picnic tables, whether creek-side or under a sheltering pavilion (there’s a handful and available on first-come, first-served basis otherwise, you can rent them in advance.

Looking to launch a boat, kayak or canoe? Not a problem – while there’s two points to drop light watercraft, there’s a single boat launch. Don’t have a canoe or kayak? Not a problem, call this state park ahead of time at+1.904.794.0997 and they’ll rent you one of theirs (check out details on the pics I share in this review). Once in the perfect blue water of the Pellicer Creek (average depth of 2 to 6 feet), you’ll find yourself effortlessly meandering with the current of this aquatic reserve, where there are so many outlets to explore and simply endless opportunities to drop anchor and cast a line.

If you’re looking for a campground with great hiking, then here too, you’ve struck the gold mine! While there’s the nature trails in the picnic and campground nature areas, these are pretty basic and short. If you’re looking for something a bit more challenging, then check out the Pine Loop Trail (basically, a triangle trail that will take you into the thick off the woods, with many grasses, wildflowers and even some blueberries, when in season) or Hiram Faver Nature Trail (2.6 miles that is mostly shaded with scattered benches and ends with a fantastic view of Pellicer Flats), which are both much longer as well as much more challenging as they’ll both put you in the thick of this state park’s brush.

Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) For those that take to the water and are brave (and strong) enough to make it far east to where the Pellicer Creek opens up, point your watercraft south where you’ll encounter Princess Place Preserve – and if you don’t know anything about this amazing place, check out my review on The Dyrt for yet another simply priceless camping and nature outing; (2) While the main campground here at Faver-Dykes is a popular one and books up, if you do reach out to book a campsite and they are filled up, consider asking about their second (mostly unknown) Youth Campground, which the park uses for overflow and while basic and not terribly well-groomed, still offers you a nice patch of secluded flat land to call 'home' for the night (or several); (3) Pellicer Creek joins up with Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve, which offers even more outstanding nature exploration on one of the most prized bodies of water here in these parts. Out here you can encounter the Bald Eagle, Great Blue Heron, Great & Snowy Egret, Belted Kingfisher, Manatee, River Otter, Bottle-Nose Dolphin and many other animal surprises.

Happy Camping!

Faver-Dyke State Park

The Faver-Dykes State Park has a small campsite area that has about 30 site spots good for small campers and even tents. The campsite had a really clean bathroom shower house combo. The bathroom/shower house facility was a little bit older, but very well maintained. The campsites are very tropical, with tons of forest in between sites giving great privacy. The whole campsite was completely sand, from where we parked our camper to the “road” to drive on. The campsite did have a gate code for entrance during the evening hours/early morning hours. We paid a total of$61.95 for two nights. It is$18 per weekday night and a$6.70 reservation cost and a$7 utility fee per night. There was a kayak/canoe launch for the Pellicer Creek. We were 30 minutes south of Historic Downtown St. Augustine, but amenities like a grocery store were less than 15 minutes away. We had water and electric hook ups only but there was a dumpsite on the property.

Great Experiences

The campground is beautiful. There is a nature trail, as well as kayaking and canoeing. It is a wonderful spot for camping. There are nice places to park and shade within where you camp. The best thing is that all the park rangers are very courteous and helpful throughout the whole stay. They made this visit here the most enjoyable of all. I recommend this place to everyone and will definitely visit again soon.

Better than reviews

I was a little concerned about the tick activity based on previous reviews. It was cool with lows in the 40s and highs in low 70’s. The trails were well-maintained and did not have any ticks. The park has a fantastic accessible canoe kayak launch site. I expect that bug activity would increase when temperatures are higher based on the vegetation.

Princess Place Park is a great place to visit. See previous reviews. Another great place to visit is Washington Oaks Gardens State Park.

Calm and peaceful

This was an easy park to get our motorhome into. The sandy road was a little bumpy in some areas but mostly smooth. The sites are wide and because of the vegitation almost impossible to see your neighbors. The camp hosts keep each site impeccable and the bath house were very clean. At night you will be surprised at how many raccoons inhabit the park.

Nature at its best!

Isolated . Quite and very natural. We saw deer 🦌 on the long winding road to the state park, every day. It’s about to undergo rehab to improve the facility starting August 1.

Peaceful and relaxing . The place for a real camping experience . Close enough to visit Old St Augustine town and beaches.

A decent campground with good sized sites.

We spent 3 nights here. It was not as close to things we like to do (mountain biking, beach) as we had hoped but within 30 minutes of Mala Compara. A great place for kayakers. Nice boat launch! We hiked the 2.5 mile trail which was nice but dont forget the bug spray. The bugs were quite annoying and we returned with quite a few ticks. Overall a nice, quiet location.

Remote, Quiet and full of Nature!

I have stayed at Faver Dykes several times, very remote campground set deep in the woods. Lots of wild animals including deer, raccoons, possums, armadillos and tons of birds! Fishing and kayaking access on the Moultrie Creek, 30 minutes from St Augustine and even closer to the beach. Sand/dirt roads can get rough when rainy. Bring bug spray!!
