The Best Camping Near St. Augustine, Florida

One of the best camp grounds in the area. Awesome beach access.

Beautiful clean camping

We've been to this campground several times and love it each stay. Planning to go back in several months when the weather cools down. The best parts of the campground include clean sites, nice trails to the ocean and also an inlet for kayaking, canoeing, etc. We've also heard that this is a great place to stay while attending a concert / show at the St Augustine Amphitheater.

Great family focused campground

We loved our stay here. The beach view is worth the walk. A nice clean playground for the kids. The Ancient Dunes Nature Trail is nice too. Definetely recommended.

Very nice Tent Camping

I visited here in August 2014\. The sites are crushed shell and level with plenty of room. There are about 140 sites in 8 loops all with restrooms and laundry conveniently located. The campground was great but not on the beach. You actually have to drive or bike there. There are Canoe and kayak rentals nearby. Also biking is popular here. Since we have a Class C motorhome and wanted to see more, we rented a car. There was plenty to do outside the park as well in St. Augustine. Visit Castillo de San Marcos National Monument or take up some shopping on the old cobblestone streets.

Camping by Historical St. Augustine

site: average size. space between. private.
amenities: clean. 
attractions: drive to beach. water activities. hiking. dunes. 
I would go camping here again.


nice

Going to St Augustine is an annual trip for the local school in the spring, so we went along to watch their performances, but chose to camp without the teens flocking us.  This park was less than 10 minutes from all the action in St Augustine and just a couple minutes from the amphitheater and an animal park.  We were pleased with the campgrounds and the location of the park.  The beach was a short drive from our site.  We did mention that if the campground had been full it would have felt much less secluded, so camping here during the busy season might not be ideal.  What a great place to be near the city, but still feel connected to nature. 

very close to city

Beautiful State Park, probably the prettiest one we've stayed at and we've stayed at alot of state parks.  There are 139 campsites which are very private and beautiful. You can ride bikes or walk to the beach. There are over two miles of beach, life guard was on duty everytime we went. There are rentals (sail boats, paddleboards, kayaks and canoes).  It is located at St. Augustine Florida, which is another beautiful place to visit. I would recommend this park to anyone!!! The only downer is it is hard to get reservations, but if you plan in advance this would be a wonderful trip.

Anastasia State Park, Florida

Great location & in close proximity to St. Augustine. One of my favorite places to visit in Florida.  If you've never been to St. Augustine, I highly suggest checking out this cute, historic city along the coast in Florida. Amazing ocean views and sandy beaches. Some of the best restaurants and shops found among the streets of St. Augustine. There is a location to rent bikes, kayaks, SUP, & canoes. Tent rate seemed higher compared to what I've paid at other locations and states for tent only rates. However, very economical way to see and stay near St. Augustine versus paying high hotel rates. I traveled by car from Gainesville & tented a couple nights while visiting friends that live in Florida. Great area! A+ to Florida State Parks!

Great area! A+ to Florida State Parks!

This was a beautiful park with clean restrooms and a beach.  We enjoyed our racoon friends that visited throughout the night.

Racoon infested

Had a good rime at Anastasia Island. Explored the Island which included a nice bike ride on the beach. Had some raccoons try to get in our coolers... but this wasn't our 1st rodeo 😁. Grounds are nice with hiking trails and kayak rentals available to paddle around the sound. Close to St. Augustine amd other local attractions.

Camping near the beach!

Great campground!  Palm trees and scrubs provide privacy.  Close drive to the beach and downtown St. Augustine.  SUP boards are fishing are great in the intercoastal.  Best Ahi Tuna Burger outside the park at Nalu's in the parking lot of Surf Station.

St. Augustine Camping

This is a great park on a barrier island just on the other side of St. Augustine, Florida. I went to college in St. Augustine and spent time at this state park during the day while there. I camped there once while in college but recently revisited the area and stayed here once again.

The park is relatively large and full of people most of the year. I had to wait quite a while to check in, as there was a long line of RVs in front of me. That being said, the sites are nicely spread out and wooded (set back a bit from the beach itself). The beach is a short walk from the sites and is a great place to watch the sunrise.

The facilities are clean and there's a lot happening there. There's a rather large camp store and there was a night of live music happening at one of the pavilions while we stayed there. The campground is also close to the amphitheater and we got to fall asleep to an O.A.R. concert which was actually quite awesome. We got a free concert!

We visited in the fall and the temperature and mosquitos were tolerable. As others have said, the town of St. Augustine is close by (just a short drive over the historic Bridge of Lions) but you can also find everything you need just down the road on the island itself.

Busy

Anastasia State Park is one of my favorite spots in Florida. You are in the woods with great trees but you can hear the ocean. There is so much to do! Beach, kayaking, fishing, bike riding, hikes and if somehow you get bored you can cross the bridge into St. Augustine and have a blast there too. What I love about Anastasia is it backs up to a music venue. There is a path through the woods with a coded gate just for campers to enter the venue.

Florida Fave!

This place is awesome! Book I'm advance if there's a show because it filla up quick! I've stayed here for Widespread Panic concerts and walked to/from the venue each night. However there is technically no booze allowed at these campsites.

If there's a concert at St. Augustine Amphitheater... CAMP HERE! 

Campsites are way too opened for me,hut,all in all,it's perfect for us fishermen!

St. Augustine 

we are only an hour away by using the wandering-Lad site we are able to get in several times so far this year

Our Favorite

WiFi available in the parking lot of the camp store.

Typical Florida state park campground

Campsites are wooded with lots of privacy and a short bike ride to beautiful beaches with no crowds. Short drive (less than 10 minutes) to the historic area of St. Augustine. The only negative to the campground is that the sites are dirt and when it rains it's very muddy.

My favorite FL state park

Been here 5 times. if u love a pristine campground and are a history buff this is your place. Oh my and food to die for. Never tire of St Augustine 

History 

Close to shopping and food and near the beach. Bring bicycles and explore the area.


Near St Augustine 

This campground is right on the beach. Our campsite was a decent size and private. There was a gift shop and restaurant at the beach area which was very handy. They had a handicap ramp that went out onto the beach which was very nice for those that may need it. There are kayak rentals available on the bay side. The location of the campground is great and not far from downtown area. The bathrooms at the campsite were rather dirty. That was due to a family washing off the sand in the sinks of the bathroom and leaving trash everywhere though. All in all a nice campground.

Right at the beach 

Campsite was pretty shaded and private on one side. Be sure to check the size of the site to the size of your RV. We fit on our site but wouldn’t have on others. The bathrooms had a backup issue in the shower and it smelled really bad. They repaired the problem the next day. The Campground isn’t walking distance to the beach you'll Need to drive to the parking area. Not and issue but wanted to share since the map makes it look closer than it really is. We had a great time and plan on returning soon.

Nice, family friendly.

Located at the beach. Can bike or drive to beach and camp store. Water sport rentals on site. Close to Town. Many places to visit, lighthouse, quarry, distillery... Sites have h2O and electric. Spacious, shady with fire pit and picnic table. Love it and have been going 4th of July week for many years.

My happy place 

If you like beach views, as well as cool historic site, this is the place to camp. It stays nice most of the year, with a few days of cool weather. There are numerous historic sites like the Castillo de San Marco/ the fort, the Old Jail, Ripley's Believe It or Not, the Lightner Museum, the Light House, the Alligator Farm, and the St. Augustine Amphitheater, to name a few. Most of which are within walking or bike riding distance. Many great restaurants abound throughout the city and down St. George Street. At Christmas time there is also the world famous Nights of Lights. There are many ghost tours for the family or you can take the adults only pub crawl ghost tour. Lots of fun to be had and maybe learn some history, or some mystery, at least as it's told.

Very clean and centralized to St. Augustine. 

We had a good time. The facilities are nice and clean. Make sure you have your coolers closed good and strapped for extra security because the raccoons will try to rob you as you sleep.

Nice Quiet Place

Anastasia Island State Park is located in the middle of all that makes St Augustine amazing! It’s a 10 minute drive into the heart of the historic city. The campground is located in the park that has the most beautiful beaches, with dune mountains that peak over the salt marsh as you dry through the park. Living in Florida, I was expecting horrendous mosquitoes in the evening but it has been pleasant surprise not having too many mosquitoes around (It’s August). We have site 33 which is amazing to let the kids play, you can see the playground but still have some privacy from it. I have already booked my return stay for next year!

Great Park! Great Location!

The facilities at this camp ground are nearly immaculate. The beach access is spacious and pristine. Water sport equipment rental and snack shack on site. Highly recommended to the beach enthusiast. Caution: concerts at the amphitheater can be heard from some sites if you're tent camping.

Cozy among the coquina

This is by far my most favorite campground in Florida. It is very difficult to get into, but well worth it if you can. It has water and electric with a dump station on the way out. Great place to ride bikes, walk on the beach and visit the great town of St Augustine. Everything is within 10 minutes of your campsite!!

Best campground

Close to the beach, fairly secluded campsites, plenty of land and sea wildlife! Fun for the whole family!

Beach camping

I am a huge fan of Florida State Parks. Anastasia has good size sites that are very private. We could not see our side neighborhoods only the ones across from us. Bathrooms were clean and the showers were large. There was always staff around keeping the grounds picked up and tidy. The camp ground is very pet friendly, but dogs are not allowed on the beach in the park. There are many pet friendly beaches nearby. There is no camping near the ocean, but it is just a short bike ride/drive from the campsites to the beach. Water and electric hook up at the sites, a large trash compactor is located near the the 3 lane dump station.

Great camp ground, but make sure you reserve far in advance, they book up quick.

Secluded Camping 

stayed for a week and loved it. wife wanted a week stay is st. Augustine and i did not want to spend a ton of money. bathrooms are good. and buffers are good.

great spot for st. Augustine 

Anastasia is a great campground with over 100 sites for both tent and RV camping.  Fires are always allowed.  Each camp site has a picknick table, a water hose and a fire pit.  Only two cars are allowed at each site, the park rangers a sticklers for this.  For the most part bathrooms are within walking distance and sites are fairly excluded from each other.  Its proximity to both the beaches and downtown, makes it a great place to stay while visiting St. Augustine.  Reservations fill up quick make sure to try to reserve your dates about 3+ months in advance.

Great place to stay to visit St. Augustine

Lover staying here! Lots of good size sites and plenty of biking room. It's family friendly and close to the beach. It's a short drive to St. Augustine historical district which is one of my favorite places! They also have a lake entrance where you can put in you own kayak, canoe, or paddle board or you can rent one of theirs hourly. It's been a while since I camped here so I don't have any pictures but it is pretty!!

Lots to do!

This park was better then excepted. All sites are pretty close to the ocean with a beautiful jungle like walk through the sites. Lots of giant trees reaching to the sky. I was able to do some fishing from the beach and caught a Pompano and a handful of Whiting. Lots of places to bike. You can rent kayaks, paddle boards and bikes, or bring your own! Defiantly recommend. 

Amazing campground!

We stayed at site 10 in April 2019 for 3 nights. This site shares a side with site 9 so a little less privacy than site 11. It’s a little hike to the restrooms but the restrooms were clean but not new. 
There’s a big problem with raccoons in this campground, we had our garbage on the picnic table, we were on the other side of the table and the raccoon just came out of the underbrush and took off with our garbage bag super fast. We were right there! Brazen raccoons. They are super aggressive.
That said it’s a great campground, we loved how close it was to St. Augustine but it wasn’t super touristy. The beach was great, clean and surprisingly there was great wifi available at the camp store/beach restrooms. Didn’t like how the camp store closed at 5 pm everyday, had to go to a sketchy gas station to get ice at 9pm... didn’t feel super safe. 

Calm and shady respite from the crowds

Anastasia is a GREAT campground! We had site #89 which was huge! We have a Micro Minnie and a truck, but the campground was so large we could have put two more vehicles in it and still had plenty of room. It’s right next to the bathrooms so that was a short walk. The only thing was you could hear the hand dryers. But the bathrooms were super clean! We brought our bikes and could ride all over. The beach access is a long walk from parking to the beach. Overall, the campground is awesome!

One of the best!

We have camped at this beautiful park in St. Augustine many times in the past. It’s on the ocean with a beautiful beach. The park has lots of mature magnolia trees. You will need to bring outdoor rugs as the sites are mostly dirt. Loads of things to do and see in the town of old St. Augustine!

Great park on the ocean

State park camping at its finest. Located at the beach... great campsites and so much to see in St Augustine.

Best almost beach camping.

This park has it all.  A beach store and grill, campsites, small hiking trails, and miles of wonderful beach.  The dunes are amazing.  This is truly a best kept secret!

Gorgeous St. Auggie Camping

The campsites are not right on the beach. We brought bicycles with us and had a great time biking on the beach. St. Augustine also has a wealth of things to do

Beautiful beach

We love  Anastasia!  This campground has a few small hiking trails, parking near the beach, a playground, and a small store with a grill/restaurant attached.  The beach is pristine and has easy access.  You can walk down around the Cape for some good exercise. 

Camping Near the beach

This this is a great place to camp. Always clean and has beach access. It is also close to downtown Saint Augustine. Shopping is very easy and accessible.

Great family place

The campground here is awesome! An additional perk is if you camp when a concert is going on you can walk to the concert or just listen to it for free from your camp site.  During all months of the year, the Farmers Market is held at the same amphitheatre connected to the park.  The campground is also a short walk to the beach.  This is hands down one of the leads expensive and fun ways to see historic St. Augustine.

Best Spot for St. Augustine Beach

Clean bathrooms. No concrete pads. Short bike ride to the beach, not directly on water. Sites are tight but private, lots of trees! A beautiful, well maintained park.

Great place to stay near the ocean. 

Anastasia park is one of the cleanest parks. Friendly rangers . Camp sides nice in woods. Beach so close that u can hear splash waves. Bathrooms clean. Mix tent sites and RV. Close to St. Augustine but if u are inside park u dont even think u r that close  

Perfect camping

Anastasia State park is a wonderfully relaxing state park. The beach is very clean and scenic. But beware because we did encounter a Portuguese Man O' War, but the park ranger was able to safely remove it. I enjoyed riding bikes around the different campgrounds. The bath houses were clean and had a good amount of room. I would have liked the camp site to have a little more privacy, but overall a good stay.

Clean, sandy, relaxing

Anastasia state park was a great first time camping experience. When you come in you meet the rangers at the front gate they were very nice and welcoming. . They give you a map and explain where the campsite is , the paper they give you has important phone numbers and the rules of the park. Our campsite is in a loop with a total of six campsites. It was very clean, the campsites have trees surrounding them also a canopy of trees blocking out the sun so it’s not too hot during the summer. We camped in August so it was hot but not unbearable. We had 3 neighbors who were quiet  and respectful of noise after 11. The bathrooms are very close to each campground, they are very clean. The janitorial services are there early morning and at night , they do an amazing job. We went kayaking and saw dolphins, sea turtles , ospreys and all kinds of fish. The view from the water sports bay was beautiful. There are also other water sport options if you don’t care to kayak. There are nature trails and the ranger has educational talks at specific times in the day. The beach was beautiful we went to see the sunrise and during the day and at night to look at the moon. There is a restaurant in the park near the beach if you don’t want to grill. The restaurant is also a small shop if you need something. There are also food trucks right at the entrance of the park. We went to dinner our last night in the beautiful little town of St. Augustine. Overall we had a great time the only thing I would change is camping instead during the fall and winter weather, less mosquitoes and cooler temperatures. 

First time camping 

What I loved was the seclusion and privacy of each campsite. What I didnt like was the beach was too far to walk and we didnt have a bicycle

Back to Nature 

Anastasia Island State Park is nestled between the mighty Atlantic and quaint historic St. Augustine, Florida. This state park is teeming with wildlife and has a boatload (get it??) of amenities. From kayak rentals to live music, you don’t want to miss this lovely state park. The campground loops and spacious and quiet. There are many that are all within walking distance of the ocean. Try hiking to the Amphitheater or check out the old coquina quarry. 

Location Location Location

We were lucky to snag a site here for two nights in March; the only available site was the handicap accessible site so we called first to make sure we could reserve it. The good news is it is very close to the bathroom which can also be not so good news as people tramped through our site to get to the bathroom! Sites in the Coquina loop all appeared to be generous in size with a reasonable amount of foliage for privacy. Can’t speak about other loops. The bathrooms are clean. Some great amenities include laundry, camp store with souvenirs, bike rentals, drinks, and food. Easy walking or biking distance to a very walkable beach. Close to St. Augustine and the lighthouse.

Many activities to enjoy

Anastasia State Park Florida. Delightful. We were in site 84 which the ranger said was the best site. Restrooms were clean, hot water was very limited as 3 of us rushed through our chilly showers. Campsites are laid out very nicely with lots of foliage between. The beach is amazing and what we went for.

Delightful

We stayed at site 95 at the beginning of March 2020. This was our 2nd time at the park and we plan on coming here again in the future. The bathrooms are of the older model of state park bathrooms for Florida, but they are kept clean. We love that they have a dish sink/laundry sink at each comfort station (in addition to the laundry machines).
During this time, we didn’t see many bugs, but my husband did get bit once, I don’t think mosquitoes, another type of bug?
The beach access; you do have to drive to, but there is plenty of parking and the beach is vast. The gift shop/washrooms at the beach also have free wifi (and you can pick it up in your car from the parking spots!).
Every site we stay in here has great privacy and they are quite clean. 

Always lovely to stay here!

Beautiful beaches and easy access to St Augustine. 

Awesome 

We love this park during the holidays on Thanksgiving we've gone twice. The lots are pretty spacious all have a fire ring and a grill. The bathrooms and showers were always kept clean, and the staff was so nice.We love that it was a short drive to the historic areas of St Augustine which are amazing during the holidays with the lights definitely a must see. As well as the option of the beach so close by. We cheated a little bit and got honey baked ham.which was nice that it was close enough there's a lot of things that are close by but it still feels like you're out in the wilderness.

One of our favorites

Our site was short walk through the woods to St Augustine Amphitheater and St Augustine Farmer’s Market, a bike ride away from the beach, and a quick drive to downtown St. Augustine. The sites are wooded and private. We could hear the concert at the Amphitheater that Saturday night. It was practically like being at the concert. We enjoyed the music from around the campfire. We will definitely be back.

Campfire Song

This spot has a ton of sites and since it is situated near an Amphitheatre if you plan ahead you can camp here and walk to the show! If you are looking for quiet, check the show schedule at The St. Augustine Amphitheatre though. 

  

The park offers the beach and a nice area of water known as Salt Run (good for paddle boarding or kayaking) there are hiking trails in the dunes and Downtown St. Augustine is about ten minutes away.

Near the beach, in thewoods, not far from town and free music. 

Great park for tent camping and small motorhomes. We are 37 feet and only 5 sites were able to accommodate us mainly due to tree branches and large overhanging limbs. It's quiet and there's a large amount of vegetation between sites.

Awesome state park

We really enjoyed our weekend stay here! Very clean bathrooms, beautiful nature trails, and the campground is conveniently located near just about anything a camper would need! Only downside- though dogs are allowed on the campground they aren’t allowed on their section of the beach- so if you want to bring your pups to swim with you you’ll have to drive about 5 minutes to another beach entrance.

A Clean, Comfortable Campground

Love this park. Sites are pretty private. We walk to historic downtown. Our favorite restaurants are Osteens (cash only &amp; can be 1hour wait). Columbia restaurant is very special and PET FRIENDLY. Enjoyed pizza at Mello-Mushroom. Mojo Tacos was real good. Anastasia Kitchen was also real good (cash or check only). St Augustine is our go out to eat camping trip.

Anastasia State Park - Florida

Beautiful beach, nice sites, bathrooms are decent, and close to St Augustine.

Easy to get to and close to everything! If you’re a beach lover, this is a great campground. All of the sites are shaded with fire rings, water hookups, picnic tables, and lantern holders. Most sites offer a fair bit of privacy for you set up camp properly. Each loop has a clean restrooms, laundry facilities with a clothes line and Coquina (the loop we stayed on) had a playground. 

Would recommend bicycles to get to the beach and either SUPs or kayaks to paddle the salt run at high tide. I’d you don’t have your own, they rent them there. There’s also a beach grill and convenience store by the beach. 

If you’re an early bird, watching the sunrise from the beach is quite a nice way to start the day!

Awesome spot by the beach

Arrived after a cross-state expedition to stay for two nights. On the way, changed from #14 to #20 sight unseen and kinda wished hadn't done it because #14 is closer to the restroom facility. This is a well-organized park with ranger patrols, inner bays, and spectacular beaches. However, be prepared to deal with mosquitoes and a range of very bold night life critters. On night one, a family of raccoons were doing the rounds around the site, successfully opening our neighbor's tent's zipper, entering, and stealing a pack of cookies. He was caught in the act and ran away. Also, possums were crawling around, as well as armadillos. The restrooms were adequate. The beaches were amazing with pinkish sand, spread out and spacious. Outstanding beaches, wow. By the way, the password to the WiFi at the beach is: 725e5znpye69

Well organized, great beaches, watch out for "night life": it's wild!

The best beach in Florida , wide, pink sand ,  felt like my private beach. Great small restaurant at the beach with WiFi.  No lifeguard on open waters! Camping sites have water and electricity. It is must park to visit 😍😎

Beautiful beach 🏝 

Anastasia State Park is the perfect location to hit the beach during covid times! There are NO crowds. Site 92 was beautiful, just tight. Every single one of the sites were beautiful.  We did appreciate being by the path to the bathroom facilities. Even though we were the closest site, it was still a decent walk. Also, we really appreciated the large outdoor sink and counter space at the facilities. We had surprise water problems with our camper, so that was our dish washing location. The drive-on beaches are an excellent way to mark your territory and keep your distance from others. Especially further down the 4 wheel drive only beaches! We had so much space! I only have one con from Anastasia State Park, but it's a big enough con that I had to take away a star. The ants were awful. They were everywhere. Its been 2 months since our stay, and we are still trying to rid the ants from all our camping equipment. We will definitely be back,  but I really need them to get these ants under control. Enjoy your stay!! 

Perfect Getaway

So in reading earlier reviews let me start by saying this is Florida and as a native I’ve come to terms with bugs, no where in the state to completely avoid them, so I embrace the “suck”:)The park has changed from when I was a child and tent camped there many Easter weekends. A1A used to bisect the park and separated the campground from the beach making for a game of “Frogger” to go for a swim. That has changed and for many years now that section of road is a dead end park road that only park visitors can use. The other change is the St. Augustine Ampitheater used to be an attraction called “The Sword and the Cross.” Both these changes have been an improvement. The beach has something all Florida beaches should have, a wheelchair path across the sugar sand, making it accessible for all. Sooo many sites here all look very inviting with lots of shade and yet very hard to get reservations which should tell you something about how beloved this park is to so many. Pro tip if there is a band playing that you like but can’t get a ticket the proximity to the campground is such you can take a beach chair and a can of bug spray and listen to the concert. That concert though may be why there will be no availability in the campground. Bring bikes as it’s an easy ride into St.Augustine and much less stressful to navigate the narrow streets and scarce parking. Lighthouse is a landmark on that bike ride worth the slight detour.

Perfection!

Very private camp sites, water and electric hook ups, walk to the beach, quiet and friendly and not a thing to complain about.

  

Has both tent and RV sties, bathrooms and a store (though not much in it). Dogs or any other pets are NOT allowed don the beach. Leashed animals ok in campground area. Would definitely stay again. Lucked out an got a spot for the night by reserving the night before...otherwise booked! 

  

Good cell reception with AT&amp;T and Verizon.

Excellent!

These campsites offer a serene amount of privacy with the space the campgrounds are working with. It’s not a backcountry hike, definitely a drive-up campground but the foliage and large campsites provide a lot of privacy throughout the day and night. Close walk to the beach and other trails. Bathrooms are clean and good working condition. Also close and far enough from some outings that provide live music. What more do you want?

Privacy within Nature

We’ve come through twice during the night of lights. After a short walk around to see the lights Anastasia is a great place to retreat. Osprey tacos and the adjoining Old Coast Ales is a great spot just outside the park entrance. Mostly quiet park during our stays. Hot showers are nice. Nice beach. 

Come for the lights, stay for the tacos  

Anastasia State Park near St. Augustine Florida is a true gem.  Immaculately kept, it is clean and well managed.  The sites are big and spacious. Most of the ones we saw were very level and all are shaded. The amount of vegetation between many of the sites make you feel as if you are all alone in a pristine Florida maritime forest.  The nature trail is very beautiful, easy to walk, and very interesting.  At the beach, the boardwalk leads over the dunes to a wide, pristine, undeveloped Atlantic beach. There is a small camp store and snack bar at the end of the parking lot at the beach.  You can bike to the lighthouse from the campground, and the old city of St. Augustine is a few miles away.  We stayed in site 139 at the end of the Coquina loop. The pictures show three sides of the rv to give you an idea of how secluded the site felt.  Wonderful place!

What every State Park should strive to be.

The campground is nice and large. It's is close to town so if you are looking for a nature experience away from people this is not the place. The racoons here are very bold and will come up to your table the minute you turn your back. I e night we had to keep chasing one away. The squirrels are bold too.

Bathrooms were nice and clean. Plenty of hot water and they are continuous. The beach was beautiful but the waters seemed very rough. Make sure you take bug spray, the mosquitoes will get you and we were there in early October. 

Racoons will eat your food!!!

The reason it’s booked up all the time is because it’s so damn awesome. Husband and I began camping here together 24 years ago when we could call on a Thursday and get a spot for the weekend. The location is perfect and the facilities have all been redone. It’s a pretty magical place with private sites, direct ocean access, and is o my minutes to Downtown St Augustine. We can’t get enough.

Pretty close to perfect.

It was great stay the beach in walking distance has a side for kayaks canoes , electric and water amazing water sound at night 

Amazing stay by the beach 

We're not very experienced campers yet, but I can't imagine finding a much better spot than this! The campsites were clean and well maintained, but maybe a bit close together. Not a ton of privacy here. The facilities were a bit dated maybe, but also clean and fully functional. But the best part is obviously the location. Proximity to the beautiful beach is obviously a big reason to camp here, and it definitely delivers. But the close access to beautiful, historic St Augustine was better than I expected, plenty of things to see and do. We camped here on the recommendation of some experienced camping friends and they nailed it, so now I'm recommending it to you! We will definitely camp here again!  
  
One word of warning -- Racoons! HUGE Racoon population in this park. They'll get in your trash, so don't leave any unattended. They'll get into your cooler if it doesn't have very strong latches. They are going to come at night and forage for leftovers, so put everything away including your trash!

Wonderful camping site!

Good camping 

It feels like a whole different world. It does flood easy so depending on where you are parked you can end up with a big puddle out of your door. The beach had soft beautiful sand at first but then it was not as soft.

Felt like Jurassic Park

To kick off our snow fledgling trip we spent 2 weeks at Anastasia SP in St. Augustine Florida. This has SP has many reviews. There are several loops, for tents and RVs. We had electric and water. Most sites have some foliage and privacy. A few sites fit big rigs if you pull in just right. See photo. Bathouses clean but not heated so very cold in January. Two of three washers out of order. Lots of good bike trails. Atlantic Beach access from park. Fun to ride for miles on sand at low tide. Park backs up to Amphitheater. We heard 2 good concerts without paying any$$. Good thing we enjoyed the music! They played til 10pm Friday and Saturday night. People camped next to us specifically for the concert.

Nice Atlantic Ocean State Park 

Nice state park close to St Augustine. Large campsite with privacy.

Great campground near the beach

We loved visiting this area, the beach was clean and nice. There was also great trails to walk/ride on. We also enjoyed the farmers market at the amphitheater close by.

Great place to stay

Beautiful campground,  large sites in deep woods. Abundance of vegetation,  very organized and tite security. 

Very nice place

Magical under tree canopy. Need bike to move around, beach not close. Site was very private, staff super friendly. Very close to downtown. Bathroom needs upgrade but clean. 

Great site

Each site was unique with trees and terrain. My site had amazing trees perfect for multiple hammocks around a sunken fire pit. Nice restroom and shower well cleaned by friendly volunteer staff. The loop I was on was meant for tents and maybe small pop RV’s and worked perfectly for my rooftop-tent but would not work for many others. Read up on each site and find one that works for you and then it is a great campground. 

Eclectic sites just a bike or walk to beach

Beach is fantastic, watersports, clean facilities. Love to spend more time there.

Oldest city, Beach and Camping

Site are nice size and shady.L9ts of activities like watersport ( kayaking, SUP). Beautiful state beach with store and food. Playgrounds for children. Couple miles to downtown St Augustine.

Oldest City & Beautiful Beach

We stopped in for a weekend during the cooler Florida months.  Was nice to sit by the fire.  Lots of privacy.  Restrooms clean.  Music at an amphitheater close by was nice at night.

Lovely even in winter

This is a nice campground amongst the trees on Anastasia island in St. Augustine. It is a ways to the actual beach if walking or a short bike ride. 
Also, the critters here are abundant and intelligent. Dont think you are going to fool them with the usual tricks, they will find a way into your food if left out. Beware.

Close to the Beach...not on the beach

I love this park. Its clean. Staff is friendly. The attractions are amazing. Everyone keeps to themselves. The beach is not dog friendly, that's the only complaint I have. Even thoe my husband is disabled we still get harrassed by all the Karen's. And of course park rangers. It's a little embarrassing to say the least. Gotta show disability papers or ID cards. Or have the dogs in vests. And its intrusive. But other then that we go to other beaches in area or just put up to shut them up. 

Dogs are welcomed but ,,,,,

Many campgrounds in Florida offer either a beach or tree canopy campsite but not both. Anastasia is one of the few that has both and is very well maintained.

Most of the campsites in this State Park have oak tree canopies with the hanging spanish moss that give it a soothing shady feel.

The beach is a short car ride away (or decent walk but not too far).

My visit was for tent camping but the sites have full hookups and there is a dump station for RVers.

My Favorite Campground in Florida

Had a gem of a spot #36. Tons of shade big space lots of privacy. The beach is great and downtown at Augustine is 5 minutes away.  

Beware raccoons here they are bold and continue to approach you even if you are walking at them. 

Beautiful camping and beach

Beautiful park but immediate access to downtown and historic St. Augustine. Kayak and SOP rentals, beach access. Lots of amazing wildlife. 

Easy walk to the water

So we made a last minute reservation and our first site was #19. The sites were pretty close together, but the biggest issue was that our fire pit was completely in the ground and at the bottom of a slope so that the rim of the pit was in line with the ground. It was impossible to keep a fire going and it was very cold. 

Great park, horrible site

My family and I stopped here on the way back from Key West to Indiana. I wish we could have spent more time here. It's location is great for families with young children that wish to feel secluded but remain close to amenities and tourist attractions. Typical Florida site, meaning there aren't a surplus of trails but the beach is phenomenal. 

Wonderful beach, and campground that truly represent St Augustine's beauty. 

Outstanding location and access to the beach.  Park is immaculate.  Had an issue with our bathhouse being closed due to an issue but it was quickly addressed.  Wish I could have stayed a week.

Beautiful Location

Stayed here for the weekend and everyone was very nice and helpful. Bathrooms were clean and washer/dryer available

Great staff

Nice shaded sites 
Beautiful beachside location- not well managed as one bathhouse out of order but remaining ones not maintained 

Anastasia State Park

It’s been a terrific experience. Lots of wildlife. The sites are spacious enough that you feel as though you don’t have neighbors in most areas with the exception of Coquina loop. However, that area is also closest to the beach.  I would’ve given 5 stars had I not been at a campsite with 2 large dead tree limbs that I was quite paranoid about hanging directly over my travel trailer. 

Beautiful, natural Florida

This park is now the standard by which I will judge all other state parks. I haven't seen its equal anywhere in the US. I would give it ten stars if I could.

When I first pulled in, I saw a sign with a braggadocios statement along the lines of "Florida state parks: the best state parks in the country." This was my first night ever in Florida, so I thought to myself "yeah, well, we'll see about that."  If all Florida's state parks are this good, though, that may not be hyperbole.

First off, the park is a destination in itself. It has excellent bike paths and walking trails, as well as a lovely beach within walking distance of the campground. There is also an abundance of small lizards and large tortoises, both very entertaining to watch.

The campground, however, is superb. It is cut out of the jungle, so every site has abundant shade and privacy. Some sites are better than others, of course, but I didn't see any that looked unattractive. Bathrooms are well sited, spacious, nicely designed, and clean. All in all, I couldn't find anything to complain about, which is rare.

That said, reserving your campsite in advance would be a good idea here. The only reason I was able to stay three nights was because someone else cancelled. In this case, however, the campground's popularity is well deserved. Well done, Florida.

Magnificent 

First time camping at this location and we loved it. Wide level sites with good privacy.  Bath house was nearby, which was fairly clean and good water pressure.  We were expecting to deal with the pesky mosquitoes, but didn’t notice them at all.  The dump stations were clean and they even provide disposable gloves.  The only cons are cell phone service was weak and it’s a long trek to the beach.  Overall, great place to go camping…really close to everything.

Great campground !

Anastasia State Park is a great park with beach access and the amphitheater venue near by will sing you to sleep. Sites are spread out nicely. Water and electric available. Bath house is appropriately placed and clean. 

Free Concert & Angry waves 

We loved how the beach was so near and you could just drive up there and spend the day in the day use area. Super friendly people.
