Campground reservations are essential throughout the year, especially during winter months when snowbirds flock to Florida's northeast coast. Most developed campgrounds in the St. Augustine area remain open year-round, though summer brings higher humidity, temperatures, and mosquito activity. Hurricane season (June through November) may affect camping plans, particularly for coastal sites. The region's flat terrain makes most campgrounds accessible without high-clearance vehicles, though sandy areas near beaches can present challenges. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the area, with most campgrounds offering WiFi. "Anastasia State Park is nestled between the mighty Atlantic and quaint historic St. Augustine. This state park is teeming with wildlife and has a boatload of amenities," noted one camper.

Waterfront access represents a significant draw for campers visiting the St. Augustine area. Several campgrounds offer direct beach access or are situated along rivers and salt marshes, providing opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and wildlife viewing. Campers frequently mention the convenience of being close to St. Augustine's historic attractions while still enjoying natural surroundings. The proximity of campgrounds to the St. Augustine Amphitheater means some sites may experience concert noise, which some campers appreciate as a unique feature. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, privacy between sites varies significantly between campgrounds, with state parks generally offering more secluded settings than private RV resorts.
