Fort Clinch

Nice calm beach the day we visited, after a couple of days of storms. Did not visit the Ft. itself. Lots of "no-see-ums" sand 'bugs'. Georgous drive from gate to beach!! Saw mamma deer & baby plus a turtle.

Good job to the park rangers! Very friendly and watchful. They drive around and keep the park safe. Delightful bike ride with my husband and older teen. Camp sights, bike trails, walking trails, bird watching, beach access, and the historic Fort Clinch make this a good day for families. I would not recommend riding bikes here with smaller children. Motorists are mostly looking out for you, but it works both ways, we pull over a quick second to allow them to pass. As with the other reviews, this is a gem for anyone who loves nature, the beach, and history. Check out Fort Clinch. It's a few dolars to get in. Pack some water. 🇺🇸

Beautiful state park. We're on the river side. Plenty of privacy and shade on this side. Easy walk to the river and fort. Seen deer all over the place. Campsites have firepit and picnic tables. Has a clothesline for wet clothing and towels. Bathrooms are nice and clean. Has washer and dryers. Haven't checked out the beach yet. But we still have 12 more days here. And yes. We will book this campground again.

Absolutely amazing! We were so impressed with how well they have kept up the property. It’s absolutely worth a visit. We also went around the beach and looked for sharks teeth. We found some awesome stuff, including a possible piece of a Meg’s tooth! Very cool!

Beautiful State Park. I absolutely love the live oak trees hanging with moss. We only camped 1 night but would definitely camp here again. Most sites are pretty large and have some privacy. The usual picnic table and fire ring and clothes line. Easy walk out to the beach. Bath house was newer and clean. There is also a washer/dryer available. It was really quiet the night we were there. We did have a couple armadillo’s visit us when sitting out by our fire. We did drive up and check out the fort. It was cool to see and visit. The store is by the fort and has souvenirs, ice and wood. This would be a great park to have a bike.
