Anastasia State Park
Camping Information and Fee
Scehdule
Anastasia State Park was first opened to the public
in 1949 and since that time has become one of
Florida's busiest state parks. Located off A1A,
and just 1 1/2 miles from historic downtown St.
Augustine, Anastasia has everything for the active
park visitor. The park boasts a broad beach flanked
by sand dunes and a lagoon bordered by rich tidal
marshes. A hardwood forest of ancient wind swept
oaks was in its youth when Juan Ponce de Leon
landed near the area, giving Florida its name.
Since Florida state parks are managed to appear
(as closely as possible) as they did when the
first Europeans arrived, you can easily imagine
the bustle of the early native's daily life.
Park Activities
Beaches, Full Camping, Canoeing, Concessions,
Fishing, Nature Trails, Picnicking, and Swimming
Full Facility Camping
Anastasia State Park has a 139 site campground
that is equipped for both tent campers and RVers.
Each site has a picnic table, an in-ground grill,
fire ring and water. All sites are equipped with
electricity, if needed. None of the sites have
sewer hookups, but there is a dump station located
in the campground, as well as dumpsters for your
household trash. For your convenience, there are
two public telephones in the park; one is located
in the camping area and one at the picnic area.
Each of the sites is located in a shady hardwood
hammock, away from the blowing sand and salt spray
of the beach. However, most sites are within walking
distance to the beach. There are natural barriers
between each site that allow privacy for the visitor.
Since one of the goals in state parks is preservation,
site sizes vary. There are a few sites that can
accommodate camping rigs up to 40'.

Fishing
For the fisherman, Anastasia State Recreation
Area is a great place to haul in the big catch.
The area just north of the bird nesting area at
the jetties, as well as Salt Run, are well-used
sites.
Nature Trails
we feature a self-guided nature trail that allows
you to walk over ancient sand dunes now covered
with a hardwood hammock. Brochures describing
the birds and trees found in the hammock are available
at the ranger station upon request.
Picnicking
Please come by and enjoy our picnic facilities.
Anastasia State Park also has two (2) picnic pavillions
for daily rentals. Our largest pavillion is available
for $75.00 per day and a second smaller site is
$50.00 per day. Contact our Ranger Station at
904-461-2033 to reserve your pavillion, or if
you have any additional questions about our picnic
facilities.
Swimming
Allowed north of the beach ramp and lifeguards
are on duty during the busy summer season. Swimming
is discouraged in the rocky area south of the
beach ramp due to strong currents, submerged objects
and the absence of lifeguards.
Reservations for campsites may be made up to eleven
(11) months in advance.
