This is one awesome park. We have camped in the majority of the Florida State Parks and have never bern disappointed. We have loved each and every one for the own attributes but I got to say this one has them all hands down as far as the ones we have visited. The are 176 camping sites and over 50 of those are waterfront. We are in the Pine Grove Campground, whose sites are more private than the other campground here, which is the way we like it. Although I was too late in booking to get a waterfront, we can clearly see the water from our site.
And the view from just two sites down
The park is full of large sand dunes, made from quartz sand originally from the Appalachian Mountains that eroded over millions of years that the rivers carried and deposited here, as well having salt marshes.. History lesson for the today.
There is not only have a fishing pier, but a boat ramp, play ground, lots of picnic areas, a camp store and many trails.
They are boats for rent and a boat shuttle that goes to Shell Island every hour for a small fee. It was just a little windy out for us, though.
And a flashback in time to a reconstructed turpentine still.
I found a little private beach.
The Day Use Park.
As seen in the Campground
A fish out of water
His was found on the road but Big Bob returned him to his home.
Our kind of peeps
A hand built camper by the couple traveling in it
Did this tow a trailer here?
And "I don't get it"
We will miss this park.
