Best Time to Camp at Bald Point State Park Campground

Thanks to Florida's gentle climate, you can explore Bald Point any time of year, but fall is when the park truly comes alive with natural wonders. From September through November, witness the spectacular autumn migration as bald eagles and hawks spiral overhead on thermal currents, while clouds of monarch butterflies drift past on their epic journey south. The comfortable temperatures make it perfect for hiking the trails and paddling the waterways without breaking a sweat—just you, the wildlife, and miles of unspoiled coastline.
