Camping

Get away from it all by camping beachside and enjoying Florida's natural beauty.

What could be better than casting a line with the kids or snuggling close to someone special by the campfire?

Many of Jacksonville's best campsites are just steps from white, sandy beaches along the coast.

Jacksonville Beachside Camping

Huguenot Memorial Park is a 295-acre horseshoe shaped peninsula surrounded by the Fort George Inlet, the St. Johns River, and the Atlantic Ocean. Spend the night under the stars at one of 70 campsites and wake up early for a romantic stroll as the sun rises over the clear waters. The park has incomparable wildlife watching as one of the Great Florida Birding Trail sites and little explorers will enjoy the fishing and bird watching.

Little Talbot Island State Park

With beaches on one side, and a salt marsh and maritime forests along the other, Little Talbot Island State Park truly showcases Florida’s natural beauty. The quiet relaxing campgrounds feature two bath facilities and each of the 40 campsites has water, electricity, an in-ground fire ring, and a picnic table. Bike or hike five miles of pristine beaches or meander along a wooded nature trail. Bike rentals and canoes are available at the Ranger Station. There are more overnight experiences including cabins and boat camping at other Florida State Parks.
