Florida State Parks

? #FLStateParks

Welcome

When the setting sun paints the evening sky, where will you make your bed? Florida's state parks offer you a variety of overnight accommodations.

At a Florida state park, the day's work is play, a walk on the beach, a hike through the woods, a swim, a bike ride. All you need is a fishing rod, a kayak, a book and a friend.

What do you want to see when the sun rises on the new day?

Choose a wooded campsite within walking distance of white sandy beaches or camp along the banks of a quietly moving river. Bring your boat or canoe, or fishing tackle and a rod, for a relaxing time with family and friends.

Explore nature on the hiking trails, while at the same time leaving stress of the busy world behind. Attend a festival, a reenactment or simply do nothing.

We are committed to providing a variety of accessible amenities for all visitors at Florida state parks, including campgrounds and cabins.

Group, Primitive, Equestrian and Boat

Many parks offer areas for youth and group camping. Backpackers may wish to hike to secluded areas for primitive camping. More than 15 state parks offer campsites and other amenities for equestrians and their horses. Owners of horses visiting state parks must provide proof of a negative Coggins test. Call the park to discuss availability, facilities, rules and fees.

Five state parks provide boat slips with water and electricity. Boaters have access to the state park's restrooms, showers, pump-outs and other amenities. Boaters can also anchor overnight at Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park and at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park.
