We have enjoyed our visits at this park. This visit our friends requested the grounds crew trim back the heavy vines and brush in their site. They did somewhat. With all the crews and the fees, I would expect that the grounds/sites would be in better condition. They also need a large and small dog parks. There is plenty of room.

There are so many trails to explore. Flat terrain which is perfect for bike riding. It is a little bit of a haul to the beach, but the tram makes it more easily accessible. They do have beach wheelchairs for those in need with wheelchairs to improve the beach accessibility.

This is a great place to avoid all the large crowds. This beach is clean, but it’s a long way to walk. The tram runs every half hour and it’s usually really crowded. We will be back as many times as we can.

Always enjoy being at this state park. Our last day at the beach ( yesterday ) the algae rolled in so that was disconcerting but the rest of the days here it was great! We saw turtles released in the ocean and later saw a manatee, a stingray, and a shark. One morning saw a dolphin as well.

Excellent park! Utterly beautiful marbled-sand beach with good views over the dunes. Plenty of trails winding through forest, swamp, and scrub providing a quick index of what north Florida has to offer all in one place.

We stayed at the campground for the week and it was very nice. The beach is beautiful and clean with lots of sand dunes. Nice (mostly flat) bike trails.

Another wonderful almost two glorious weeks at this rv park. My perfect part of heaven right here on Earth. Great time and great weather while we were here. Already making plans to come back next year too.

We just finished up a two week stay in cabin 1029 - it was amazing. Clean, affordable, proximity to beach and tram service. The park was pristine!

We enjoyed the lake Campbell trail and the turpentine trail and to the beach! Beautiful dunes! Nice paved and hard packed trails.

Our group of 3 visited this park due to the fact that they rented bikes on the property. We did not actually stay at the camp site, but the staff we encountered were very polite & helpful. There was plenty of space for biking. Since I was the only one not biking, I took the tram to the beach. The tram drivers were very friendly & personable. The beach & the dunes were breathtaking! I took lots of pics.
I would definitely recommend visiting this park!
