    Atlantic Beach Campground — Fort Clinch State Park

    Fantastic fort campground

    Love the Amelia river section. We stayed in site 23. The other loop is very windy, no shade or privacy between sites. The river section sites are huge, lots of trees and foliage and nicely spaced. All appeared pretty level. Most were dirt, a couple are concrete pads. Paid $26 per night. Super quiet in February, no kids. We had electric and water no FHU, fire pit, table, clothes line. Great bathhouse, clean, updated. Washer and dryer $2 per load. Great areas to bike and hike. Amazing sunsets viewed at the end of our loop. The fort is awesome! Cost $2.50 pp, well worth price. The fort is decorated with period furnishings. Self guided tour. A man dressed as a soldier answered all our questions. The campground is in a nice location, is gated. It's close to Fernandina beach and Amelia island. Amelia island, lots of nice shops and restaurants.

    Crooked River State Park Campground

    Time slows down here

    This review is for CRSP Cottage 10, a 2 bedroom, 4 bed, 1 bath, pet friendly house down a quiet road within the park. The park staff at the gift shop were very kind and engaged. They collected our balance and $50.00 pet fee there. Not all cottages are pet friendly. Cottage 10 is...so plan ahead! Despite that, there was 0 smell when we entered the cottage. It was very clean! Exceptional view of Crooked River! Our family of four loved s’mores under the stars and twisted coastal trees. There is a jumbo picnic table and fire pit. Carrying meals out was no issue and so much less exhausting than cooking on the Coleman stove and dealing with gear and tents. That’s also a fun experience, but coming back to AC and a private bathroom after a full day of hiking Cumberland Island is worth the nightly price tag. One day it poured. We comfortably watched the storm from the cozy screened-in porch. The kitchen is well stocked, minus a cutting board. No biggie. Made do. I always travel with a reliable and sharpened kitchen knife, kitchen scissors, and my trusty cast iron pan. But I was surprised to find supplies at the cottage like paper towels, toilet paper, and dish washer pods. The beds are comfortable and the linens and towels are clean and plentiful. It was a great experience and we would love to return.

    Atlantic Beach Campground — Fort Clinch State Park

    Old Florida, wildlife, 18th & 19th century fortifications

    The green tunnel oak canopy and Spanish moss over the roadway is your welcome to this state park, an anachronistic island surrounded by quiet suburbs on Amelia Island. High profile vehicles need to watch overhead clearance, due to the canopy.

    The eponymous 19th century third system fortification and museum has a wealth of information and interactive living history volunteers describing its operational span of Civil War, Spanish American War, and World War Two. Hiking, biking, wildlife, fishing, and birding are the other major activities here. There is a beach for swimming and surfing, Note St. Mary’s inlet is an active shipping channel with strong currents. Camp store and souvenir shop, special event and wedding planning. This is a major stop on the Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail, with some 100 avian species represented.

    Group Primitive Campground favors youth groups with up to 11 month advance reservations, 30 days for adult groups if available. Three sites with capacity for 75. One of the best in the state parks system.

    42 established tent sites in oak and Spanish Moss. Climate controlled bathrooms.

    RV camp 21 back in sites with another six tent sites near the dunes. Renovated bathroom and laundry facilities, dump station.

    Atlantic Beach Campground — Fort Clinch State Park

    Great Florida Campground

    This wasn't our first choice as a camping spot, as we had made reservations at Little Talbot Island 12 miles away. Upon arrival, we were told that we had no electric at the site, so they found us a site at the nearby Fort Clinch Campground.  

    We stayed in Site 35 and it was next to one of the restroom/laundry/shower facilities, but it was very clean and quiet.  It was one with a concrete pad, so it stayed nice and clean during our stay and was level. It had a large picnic table, a grill and a fire pit. The shower facilities are very nice and super clean and we had zero complaints. It's just a short 5 minute walk to the beach, where you can fish.  It's not a swimming area, but that's not far away either. It right in the beach area of Fernandina Beach and is just a few minutes from downtown old Fernandina, where there are lots of restaurants, shops and bars to visit.  We rode our bikes and walked trails and saw several deer, a lot of gopher tortoises and had an armadillo looking for bugs at our site.  Keep your food inside your camper or car, as racoons love to go through your stuff looking for treats.  Great Campground!

    Crooked River State Park Campground

    Wooded Serenity

    Large well maintained campground. All sites are large, well maintained and site specific. Many have full hook ups. New family style bath house and an older bathhouse, both were very clean. Nice walking trails, plenty of playgrounds and very nice boat ramp and mini golf. We stayed on site 39 with a full hook up, small view to the river out back. Very private and large site with direct access to trail along the water. Site 11 has very nice water views but does not have a full hookup. Close to historic St. Marys and ferry to Cumberland Island and about a 45 minute drive to Fernandina Beach and Amelia Island for a nice day trip.

    Atlantic Beach Campground — Fort Clinch State Park

    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.

    Little Talbot Island State Park Campground

    No Electricity!

    We arrived to the campground to take our little 3 yr old Grandson camping for his first time and were SHOCKED to find out that our site was under construction and had no electricity.  We had booked online and at no time were we informed that an entire section of the campground had lost all electric.  It was over 100 degrees that week with the heat index and there was no way we could camp in the sun with a small child, without air conditioning.  We were so upset and even more so when they said it had been that way for a YEAR and it was rented 'because we got a new reservation system and I guess it didn't show those sites as off limits'.  

    Thankfully, they saw how disappointed we were and called around and found us a site at Fort Clinch State Park, 12 miles up the road.  Do not book here unless you're positive your site has the amenities you need.  The sites we know NOT to book at Little Talbot Island are sites #23 and 24.  There may be others, so beware.

    Flamingo Lake RV Resort

    Mega-RV Resort Experience

    If you like things BIG, then you’ll find a very comfortable spot to call home for a few days here at Flamingo Lake RV Resort, perfectly situated in Northern Florida, just a bit above Jacksonville on the beltway. Whether enroute from JAX to a nearby destination or looking for a stopover heading north from Miami or south from anywhere else, Flamingo is a great layover for the RV going crowd. In fact, there are so many incredible amenities, you may actually make this a primary destination – from covering all the basics: water, septic and electric (30/50 amp) hook-ups, grills/ BBQ, picnic tables, perfectly paved level pads (accommodate up to 40 feet length, plus side slide out shades), nice shaded areas, well-maintained bath houses and spartan clean restrooms; to offering up a ton of bonuses: a number of sandy beachhead waterfronts (to a 17-acre lake), perfectly paved pathways and roadways (perfectly laid out for the non-stop parade of golf carts), superb market store stock with all of the basics and sundries, kid’s playgrounds, top-end dining at Flamingo Lake Sunrise Café, large-event pavilions, doggie parks, fishing piers, boat docks, umbrella-strewn patios, aquatic rentals and many other amenities. 

    Don’t have or want to live in an RV? No problem – this place offers up modern rental cabins that are either lakefront or have a very great view of the water. Insider’s tip? While this place seemingly has it all – I would strongly recommend you make it further afield to explore what is best along the Florida-Georgia line – like Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island and Ancient City (aka St. Augustine). Really, the only downside at all to this place is its proximity to I95, which may actually be one of its greatest assets, as it provides ultimate convenience – I just hope all the splashy amenities this place has to offer helps hush the non-stopping swoosh of nearby traffic! 

    Happy Camping!
