Beach is fantastic, watersports, clean facilities. Love to spend more time there.
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.
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.
Beautiful campground, large sites in deep woods. Abundance of vegetation, very organized and tite security.
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.
Nice state park close to St Augustine. Large campsite with privacy.
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.
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.
Very nice place
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!
It was great stay the beach in walking distance has a side for kayaks canoes , electric and water amazing water sound at night
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.
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.
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!
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.
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?
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&T and Verizon.
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.
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!!
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 😍😎
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
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!
Beautiful beach, nice sites, bathrooms are decent, and close to St Augustine.
Love this park. Sites are pretty private. We walk to historic downtown. Our favorite restaurants are Osteens (cash only & 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
