Very nice state park. Well maintained. Good water and electricity. Friendly ranger and host. Near the ocean and sound. Nice walking trails. Take mosquito repellent (you'll need it). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Make reservations early. We made reservations in November for mid-March arrival and could only get three nights. We had a large site for our big rig. Secluded, fairly uncrowded beach during our visit, even though it was Spring Break. You'll approach the entrance gate to register, then it's a 4-mile drive to the camping area. When we got to the island, my GPS tried to route me off of the main road. Follow the State Park sign and stay on the main road. My Verizon cell and air card worked OK. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I really hate to give this park a 10 rating because I don't want it to get crowded. Sites were sandy but plenty of room for both the MH and car. Do what they say about keeping your dog on a short leash because of gators. Close to the beach which is incredible. You can here the surf while outside. This place is my favorite.

A great getaway park with beautiful beaches, undisturbed sand dunes, polite campground host and professional state employed staff. We walked miles along the beach without seeing anyone. Everything about the state park is a "10" except for the actual campground sites. There are no improved parking pads. In all cases, you're either parking on sand and/or grass lots. If you want to enjoy some solitude, this is your place. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Most sites were sand, deep sand in spots. Saw one person get stuck. The majority of the sites are small but a few will handle larger rigs. The island is very remote with only a couple of eateries. But for pure peace and quiet at the beach, this park can't be beat. I just wish the sites were nicer. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground has to rate in the top 5 on anyone's list. Miles of pristine sand dunes and beautiful gulf beach. The CG sites are roomy and level and many have shade. There is one pull through site. Lots of birds here and at night the sky is dark and the stars beautiful. Washrooms are spotless and look new. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
What a wonderful Florida State Park! It has been fully reopened since the damage done by Hurricane Dennis. 50 amp available. Very quiet area, 5 miles into the state park on a barrier island. Nice playground. Hiking trails from the campground and a short walk to a beautiful, quiet, empty beach on the gulf side. It is about 12 miles to Apalachicola. Clean, nice bathhouses. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Gorgeous place, a bit off the beaten path but very much worth it if you like peace and quiet, serenity, and beautiful beaches within walking distance. Isolation comes from the fact that this is a barrier island -- you cross a lengthy bridge and drive through the town before reaching the park entrance station. From there, it's another 5+ miles to the campground entrance. Paved roads in the park and campground, with little traffic. Most sites are large, level, paved, and nicely separated from other sites. Walking trails are lovely and level, a great opportunity for spotting bald eagles, ospreys, and tons of other birds. CG hosts are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this terrific spot.

This is without a doubt the most secluded state park we have ever been to in our years of
camping as a family. The brochure indicates that they strive to the scenery looks as if the Europeans just landed, and with St. George Island State park, they have accomplished just that. If you like secluded areas and beaches, this is the place to go. Be sure and stock up on all your supplies in town before going to the Island. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
