Sandy roads wind through longleaf pines and saw palmettos to reach this 30-site campground, where thick vegetation creates natural privacy between spots. The dirt and sand surfaces can develop puddles and muddy conditions during rainy periods, and low-hanging branches limit access for RVs over 20 feet or 12 feet in height.
Campers consistently note the campground's well-maintained facilities and cleanliness. The older but spotless bathhouse provides hot showers, while each site includes electric and water hookups, picnic tables, and room for RVs up to 35 feet. Stuart K. describes the maintenance as "simply outstanding," highlighting the brand new picnic tables and sheltering pavilions available throughout the park.
Pellicer Creek offers kayak and canoe access through two launch points, with rentals available by calling ahead. The creek averages 2-6 feet deep and connects to the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve, providing fishing opportunities and wildlife viewing. Two main trails extend beyond the basic nature loops: the Pine Loop Trail leads through wildflowers and seasonal blueberries, while the 2.6-mile Hiram Faver Nature Trail ends with views of Pellicer Flats.
Wildlife encounters happen regularly, with deer visible along the entrance road and raccoons active at night. "Lots of wild animals including deer, raccoons, possums, armadillos and tons of birds," reports Bryan W.. Bug activity increases during warmer months, with ticks and no-see-ums mentioned frequently by reviewers.
The campground sits 30 minutes south of St. Augustine with groceries available within 15 minutes. Gates require codes for evening and early morning access. For additional camping options, see places to camp around Palm Coast. The remote location and thick forest cover make this spot well-suited for campers seeking wildlife viewing and water activities.
