Lovely

So beautiful. I've played in this park since the 1970s and not much has changed. It's expansive and the trails are gorgeous. The beaches are pristine and the campgrounds are great if you are okay with not being fully hooked up.

Family Fun

This State Park has it all. There is plenty to do for the kids and the campground is clean and well kept. The sites are well spaced out. Between the beach and the fort there is plenty to do. The kids were asking to go back before we left!

We will be back!

This is one of the BEST state parks we have been to in Florida. As a family of 5 it was an amazing time and the kids want to go back. The fort is informative and the kids had a blast discovering it. The beach is clean and secluded. The River Campground is amazing. If tent camping, I suggest you don’t camp at the tent only sites.

Unique and sandy!

We stayed at the Atlantic beach campground in the tent section. Our site was super sandy and had no shade. Bring a dining tent for shade! It was quite windy, but you could hear the ocean crashing on the beach at night. You do have to park and walk a little in to your site. You’re nearby your neighbours but a long walk away from the RVs and the washrooms. The restroom was super clean and very new. Each tent site had its own potable water tap. Definitely going to return! Such a unique area and campground!

Great campground

We love this campground! Great beach and great town of Fernandina Beach! We were camping on the ocean side this time. Hard to get a site here. They have the fort you can tour also.

Very scenic, great for nice long bike ride or run.

we have camped there several times. The first time we were hanging out at the beach and a submarine entered the waterway from the nearby naval base. It was really cool. Restrooms and showers always clean and a nice campground store with the necessities

Beach Camping!

We literally were steps away from the beach. They also have shaded spots on the opposite side of the park off the intracoastal. We loved camping so close to the beach and you have to book these spots months in advance normally! FYI dogs are not allowed on the beach here. The beachside camping has zero shade and no privacy between sites. It’s only about twenty spots so it’s really fun at night when people are all out and about. Clean bathrooms and showers right in the center of the spots. We walked along the beach to the old fort one morning and just relaxed! Lots of trails too, beautiful drive once inside the park to the campsites too! Really close to downtown Fernandina and lots of good restaurants and put out golf!

The real Florida

This is what Florida is about. Beautiful nature. Beach, river & sky. Beach sites offer no shade. River sites are better in the heat.

Something for everyone!

Clean restrooms! Three loops- one by the river mostly wooded and best for tents pop ups and smaller rv. The ocean loop is a dune away from the ocean. Open sites best for large rcvd and ocean lovers. A walk in tent only area with no ac. Same price as other sites though. Longer walk to the bathroom. A cool civil war fort on site (admission) overlooking the inlet. Fishing from the beach or inlet.Close to shopping and the cute town of Fernandina Beach.

Clean, unique, all inclusive.

Fort Clinch has beaches, woods, with excellent hiking trails, and a civil war eara fort. The tent sites were a bit pricy, considering they don't have electricity. But they are in a very convient location, you can see lots of stars and hear the waves at night while you're sleeping. There were very few bugs. I would reccomend it if you are in the Jacksonville area.

Beach Campground with indoor showers

Tent campsites are nice, but close together. Each site has a picnic table and firepit. The campground also has a lot of RV sites. The restrooms were really nice, with large showers, and washer and dryer. You can walk to the beach access, or drive to a larger beach access a short distance away. There were a lot of deer that ran close to the campground.

Favorite campground of all we’ve been to.

We love this campground and go there every year now. We get a campsite on the river side which offers bigger spots and shade. They offer sites right on the beach too. The bathrooms are the best of any campsite I’ve gone to. The bathrooms are very clean and air conditioned. The river side offers the most beautiful sunsets and lots of dolphins. The beach side is many miles of private beach that’s not crowded. The Fort offers tours and has a small gift shop.

True FL

This campground lets you in on both sides that Florida has to offer. One campground is more beachy near the Atlantic and the other is in the backwoods/swamp/alligator areas. Campsites at both spots were big and spacious. I thought it was amazing! Facilities were super clean. There are many trails to hike or bike and the beach is beyond spacious. I loved this campground and definitely want to go back sometime soon!

Best group camping in North Florida. Clean multi stall bathrooms and hot showers. Shady camp sites. Site is way back off the main road so you're not dealing with random traffic.

A historic place to camp

Located on Amelia Island, Fort Clinch offers a variety of campsites throughout the park. There are tons of activities for both children and adults. Miles of hiking, biking, swimming. Really anything you can think of to do with the family. Tons of wildlife including alligators. The history of Fort Clinch is also very unique and provides an opportunity to learn while you camp. Most sites are shaded with Spanish moss trees. If the beach is something you are after, there's a 3 mile shore line with white sandy beaches and a pier to fish off. Be sure to bring a hat cause the sun is very intense and there is no shade along the beach or pier.

Large campgrounds with 3 camp areas and lots to do

Fort Clinch offers many activities, there's the fort itself, a long half mile pier and 3 areas to camp. One camp area is near the pier (ocean side) another is on the other side of the part (along the river) and the third and our latest stay was in the group campground, nestled just south of the riverside camping area. There's tons to do and it's kept up very well.
