Learn more about alerts →Winter campers chasing bass and birds on the St. Johns River will find the sweet spot here: mosquitoes thin out, temps stay comfortable, and $8/night is hard to argue with. Reserve Site 7 for the best shot at privacy, and pack all your own drinking water.
Sites sit close enough that you'll hear your neighbors talking. Recurring complaints about a long-term resident group causing late-night disturbances are consistent enough to take seriously, so light sleepers and families expecting a quiet weekend will likely be frustrated.

Winter delivers the best camping conditions here. Daytime highs settle in the mid-60s to low-70s°F, with cool nights in the 40s and 50s. Mosquitoes and biting flies drop to their lowest levels, making hiking and paddling far more pleasant. Water levels stay stable for fishing and boating, and trails don't require battling oppressive heat and humidity. Crowds stay moderate except around holiday weekends. Summer brings Florida's signature humidity and afternoon thunderstorms that cool things down but don't eliminate the heat.
Winter described as best: cooler days/nights and reduced mosquitoes; reviewers praise winter visits.
