Awesome
Beautiful beaches and easy access to St Augustine.
Beautiful beaches and easy access to St Augustine.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
State park camping at its finest. Located at the beach... great campsites and so much to see in St Augustine.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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.
Close to the beach, fairly secluded campsites, plenty of land and sea wildlife! Fun for the whole family!
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!!
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.
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!
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.
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.
