Some mention
"Visitors and reviewers praise the secluded, undeveloped island setting, clear blue water, white sand beaches and excellent boating, fishing and birdwatching; overall sentiment is very positive for those seeking primitive island camping. Main negatives are the lack of amenities, insects in warm months, and the need for boat access."

Best Time to Camp at Anclote Key Preserve State Park Campground
Plan your island adventure between late fall and spring, when cooler temperatures, gentle breezes, and lower humidity create ideal camping conditions with fewer mosquitoes to contend with. Summer months bring intense heat, afternoon thunderstorms, and hungry insects, though the shoulder seasons of April and October can offer a sweet spot of warm days and manageable conditions. Always check marine forecasts before heading out—wind and wave conditions can change quickly on these exposed Gulf waters.
Excellent swimming and boating in summer; Florida heat/humidity are a factor.
Warm water, fewer crowds after peak season likely—great beach camping season.
Pleasant temperatures, good wildlife activity and beach conditions for camping and swimming.
Mild Florida winters make island camping pleasant; water cooler but still scenic.
Planning Tips
- Operating Season: An 1,800-foot section of Three Rooker beach is closed May 1 to August 1 for nesting. (No specific seasonal closures for the primitive camping area are listed on the official page.)
