Beach is Amazing. The Park is not. The older gentleman that checked us in was rude and unhelpful. Left multiple messages on my phone and actually sent someone to our campsite summoning us to the office over a $5 fee that we didn’t know about. Never before had to deal with bad attitude and apathy at a Park. There is No Water, No Trees, and No Privacy on the sites. We will come back to fish, but we won’t camp there again!

Once you pay your 5.00 entry fee keep driving St Johns River to your right picnic areas and camping along the river that area is reserved for prepay one area for 4x4. Keep driving you will end up passing by bathrooms and Concession area. Keep driving you will see several covered picnic areas to the left along the Ocean Bay Area not open ocean it's a Bay best place for small kids to swim and play along the same road there's parking for your vehicles if you don't want to drive out on the beach if you keep going straight cars and trucks can transition to Open Ocean Beach parking with no problems. Be aware of high and low tide. The sand is packed hard no problems getting stuck. Cars park everywhere use common sense be aware of rip currents St Johns River exits to open Ocean.

You can drive your car into both. We love this park because we have both little kids and big kids so we usually split up a couple times during the day and then get back together to eat lunch.
