Miles of shoreline await visitors.

A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER

Joshua Hodson

I hope that you are able to visit St. George Island State Park to go camping, fishing, kayaking, birding, shelling or just to enjoy the beach. The park has something for everyone.

In 2011, Dr. Beach ranked Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island State Park the #6 best beach in America. 

The 2010 Outdoor Awards from Reserve America ranked St. George Island State Park as #28 of the top 100 family campgrounds, #5 of 25 top bird watching spots, #13 of the top 50 fishing spots, and #11 of the top 25 best beaches.  Come to the park and see what everyone is talking about.

It is common in Florida that mosquitoes may be present this time of year.  Please make sure that you bring the appropriate insect repellent.  Products that contain DEET tend to work the best.  While camping, a screened enclosure may help you have a more comfortable and enjoyable visit. 

St. George Island State Park has 60 campsites that fill up quickly, so be sure to make reservations.  Reservations for camping can be made online at www.reserveamerica.com or by phone 1-800-326-3521, TDD 888-433-0287.

Pets are permitted in the campground but are not permitted on the beach or in our facilities.
