Weather at Anastasia State Park Campground 7

Best Time to Camp at Anastasia State Park Campground 7

Fall delivers the most comfortable coastal weather, with daytime highs in the 70s to mid-80s°F, lower humidity, and cooler nights for sleeping. It's peak time for migratory shorebirds passing through and less crowded beaches after the summer rush. Early fall still overlaps with hurricane season, so check forecasts before booking. Winter has fewer bugs and quieter weekdays but cooler water temperatures. Summer brings heat, high humidity, and swarms of mosquitoes. Multiple reviewers recommend hiking only at sunrise or sunset during those months. Heavy rains can flood lower-elevation sites temporarily, especially on the south side of the campground. Off-season visits (late fall through early spring) offer the cleanest facilities and most solitude.

About Anastasia State Park Campground 7

Big Lagoon State Park Campground sits on Florida's northwest coast between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf of Mexico, offering shaded sites with direct access to beaches, lagoons, and Perdido Key State Park. The campground has electric and water hookups but no sewer connections. Staff earn consistent praise for friendliness and responsiveness, though Hurricane Sally recovery continues to limit some facilities.

Off-season visits (late fall through early spring) offer the cleanest facilities and most solitude.

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground occupies low coastal terrain at 10 feet elevation, with live oaks and native vegetation providing shade and privacy between sites. Trails wind through maritime forest to small beach strands on Big Lagoon and the Intracoastal Waterway. A four-story observation tower offers sunset views over the water and surrounding marshlands. Wildlife shows up daily: raccoons, armadillos, white-tailed deer, alligators in the lagoon, and abundant shorebirds and migratory species. Boardwalks connect to the lagoon shoreline, though some sections remain closed from hurricane damage. The scenery is rustic and unmanicured rather than polished. Bugs are part of the deal. Mosquitoes and ants appear in force during warm months, and raccoons will raid unsecured coolers at night. The park sits under a flight path for Blue Angels practice runs out of Naval Air Station Pensacola, so jet noise occasionally disrupts quiet mornings.

Best CampsitesSite 67 gets mentions for easier maneuvering with larger rigs. Site 69 stands out for tent campers looking for a classic state park experience. Site 45 is tight for RVs but scenic. Site 19 offers enough space for two tents with room to spread out. Reviewers recommend secluded interior sites for tent camping if privacy matters more than waterfront proximity. Shrubbery between sites adds screening on most loops.

Anastasia State Park Campground 7 is recommended, placing it in the top 40% of campgrounds based on reviews

Campers consistently praise Big Lagoon State Park Campground for its friendly, professional staff and very clean facilities—especially the bathrooms and hot showers—and for quiet, private, shaded sites with good trails and wildlife viewing. Visitors also highlight easy access to Perdido Key and many outdoor activities (hiking, kayaking, fishing, stargazing), but multiple reviewers note ongoing Hurricane Sally recovery, some closed boardwalks/pavilions, and limited infrastructure like no sewer hookups.

Go if

Birders, kayakers, and anyone chasing a quiet coastal site with electric and water hookups will find the shaded, roomy sites worth booking early. Fall is the sweet spot: migratory shorebirds, cooler temps, and far fewer mosquitoes than summer.

Skip if

Full-hookup RVers will hit a wall here: no sewer at sites, a narrow one-way entry road, and some south-side sites that flood after heavy rain. Pets aren't allowed, and several boardwalks are still closed from Hurricane Sally recovery.
