Where Moses Creek winds through northeast Florida's conservation lands, this county-managed campground provides free overnight camping about 10 miles south of St. Augustine. Campers access the site via a half-mile hike from the parking area, carrying gear to a spot near the creek. The area supports various recreation activities, though visitors should prepare for ticks and spiders common to Florida's wetland environments. Bug spray proves essential for comfortable camping. The remote location typically sees light use, with campers often finding the area unoccupied even on weekend nights.
