ScoutWas a very nice and quiet place to camp
ScoutWith a good collection of history and a story. Really a super nice place to stay.
ScoutWhen you come in, they give you your site number and a convoluted map no direction at all. Smell sewage as soon as you roll your window down to check in. Whenever you do find your site, it might be really tight. Mine was on a curve from the road. Once I got into the muddy pit, I had to sqeezed my vehicle between my rig and a tree to park so as not to block the curve. The sewer line was 4 inches off the ground, and at a 90-degree angle, gravity doesn't work well with this setup. I left the park and spent the night at a rest stop, instead of where I felt safer. Also, finding your way out is a challenge. I saw 1 exit sign after driving in seemingly circles for 20 minutes. It's a cheap rental but you understand why after being there for more than 10 minutes. Will NOT go back.
GuideStayed for three nights at the upper Fort Clinch sites, there are six tent sites and a good number of RV spots.
Check-in is 3 PM but the ranger station closes at 5 and gates lock shortly after. I called in advance and received a gate code. Ranger station only opens at 10:30 so I didn't see them for my entire stay, but very nice folks on the phone.
Tent sites provide water no power. RV sites are a mix, have to check individual site description. Free dump site.
Bathrooms are big, clean, with toilet paper and hand soap.. Showers are free and decent. Coin laundry available.
Tent site was relatively level, be careful to stay inside the "corral," I went out (but not past the protected area sign) and got bit by cacti.
Beach is lovely and quiet.
Heat index was over 100 so didn't do much hiking, but this was a really nice place to spend a few nights. I do wonder if the river campsites on the other side of the park might be cooler and offer hammock opportunities.
Park is huge, lots to explore when weather permits.
Lots of bugs but basic precautions handled it. There was also a turtle burrow behind the tent site, and saw a bunch of little deer!
GuideI really like this State Park for tent camping. It's right next to the beach, very clear facilities, and great (unshaded) tent sites.
Will definitely stay here again.
LegendThere’s very few SPs in Florida that will put you right on or near the ocean as Little Talbot Island SP does. And to be clear, this CG isn’t RIGHT on the beach, but you’ll just have to cross the street, after hiking or biking 100 yards from the campground, to reach the amazing white caps here. As my post from 2½ years ago provided quite a bit of detail on this campground, I’m following up on that review by sharing more fotos as well as providing a topline update:
Highlights: (1) Very quick access to the Atlantic Ocean – and the beaches here are not crowded and incredibly well-maintained - some of the cleanest I've ever encountered; (2) Solid peace & quiet surrounded by ancient live oaks just dripping with Spanish moss; (3) Amazing kite-surfing just due south of here at Huguenot Memorial Park; (4) The SP Rangers are incredibly friendly, helpful and very professional; (5) Approximately 4 miles of excellent paved biking / walking on the Timucuan Trail that runs parallel to A1A; (6) For anyone wanting to take iconic photos next to the ocean, go check out Boneyard Beach that has hundreds of salt-washed skeletons of live Oak, Cypress and Cedar trees; (7) Call upon Kayak Amelia for a guided tour of the estuaries; (8) Key-coded security gate provides solid safety, especially being located right next to A1A, where the opportunity for random, wandering visitors exist; (9) Bring your own kayak and canoe as there are access points to launch from right near the campground; and (10) Should you want to ‘get off the reservation’ you just need to head north to Amelia Island where you’ll have no shortage of AMAZING restaurants to choose from and there’s also a well-appointed Harris Teeter that has wood and ice for sale as well as just about anything you might need to stock up on
Lowlights: (1) While functional and fairly clean, the restroom and shower facilities are in dire need of refurbishment; (2) The sites are fairly unlevel with roots from the ancient and live Oaks popping up here and there making it very difficult to find a decent level patch of ground to set up camp; (3) Some of the sites have dips and depressions in them, making those particular areas prone for flooding – which happened to us; and (4) Mosquitos, midges and bugs exist here in swarms that never go away … so bring your repellent as well as smoke fogger machine!
Happy Camping!
GuideWe stayed one night with a tent, and our main priorities were having a reliable Starlink connection and 110V power at the site. This campground delivered both— no issues with connectivity.
I specifically chose a site with a clear view of the sky to the NNE, and it worked perfectly. The tent sites are definitely oversized and offer zero privacy, but for our needs— a quick overnight stop with internet and power— it was a great fit.
LegendLocated right across George Highway 23 from the entrance to the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, this is easy access to the facilities at the refuge. Most sites are full hook up, several are pull through. There is a laundry, showers, a dog park, camp store and restaurant. This is a Good Sam park !
LegendThe Okefenokee wildlife refuge has about 12 remote camping platforms located out in the swamp. They are only accessible by canoe or kayak. They offer no service except an elevated platform to keep you above the water and out of reach of alligators!
