Best Time to Camp at East Loop

Spring and fall are the sweet spots here, when temperatures mellow out and the bugs take a break, making every outdoor moment pure bliss. Summer turns up the heat with peak beach season—expect crowds, humidity, and that classic Florida sunshine that draws water lovers from near and far. If you prefer a more peaceful escape, the cooler months from late fall through winter offer comfortable temperatures and quieter beaches, though you might encounter occasional maintenance work as the park keeps everything shipshape for the seasons ahead.

    About East Loop

    Nestled along the shimmering waters of Grand Lagoon, the East Loop at St. Andrews State Park has been thoughtfully restored following Hurricane Michael, welcoming campers back to this beloved Gulf Coast destination. Each site comes fully equipped with water, electric, and sewer hookups, plus your own picnic table and grill for those perfect sunset dinners by the water.
    East Loop contains lagoon‑front and interior campsites with full utility hookups; sites accommodate both RVs and tents, with many sites offering direct water views.
