Thank you! I bookmarked each one! Just starting our RV adventures and Floridas at the top of the list. Love that you gave ideas of other places to visit, trails, botanical gardens and the mountian biking trail my husband will love!
I love Anastasia St Park back when I tent camped there dozens of times in the 70's and 80's. At that time anyway, the tent sites were just across the road from the beach and went to sleep hearing the ocean every night. Great place!
Aw THANK YOU! This vid gave us all kinds of trouble so glad you liked it! We are LOVING the new Eagle too. Can't wait to hit the road for Georgia this weekend!
Great suggestions on the state parks! Some of these are hard to spell I am finding out quickly 😅 the waikea springs is one we want to check out!! You guys are going to have your hands full when we come visit LOL love that jeepers creepers was filmed there! You guys have it going on in Florida 🤩
Wow these parks are awesome! Renee and I are writing these down. That bike park looks like so much fun :D It's nice that you guys have experienced all of these parks..man you guys sure have seen a lot! St. Augustine sounds so worth visiting :) See ya guys soon!! - Kyle and Renee
Anastasia is my favorite too, because I surf. It's by the beach but there are still plenty of trees so it still feels like camping in the woods rather than an RV parking lot.
We don’t serve but we do love the beach there for sure. And so right it is lots of trees and not a parking lot!!! Saint Augustine is definitely our favorite place in Florida! 😁
Great video guys! We have been wanting to go to Anastasia State Park and visit St Augustine for a while now... gonna have to make it happen now after watching this....
They’re awesome! We absolutely love them! We’ve become great friends over the past couple years and camped in Georgia with them. More trips to come. I drunk text john when we are camping a lot of times lol
@@AlliChuckAdventures they had a lot of good things to say about y’all too!!! You always need a good friend to drunk text now and then and especially when camping 😂
You have to LOVE the Florida State Parks! We have some really awesome places here. So cool that you converted a trailer! Maybe we will see each other out there on the road soon!
A great review of state parks in Florida. I am heading back down to the keys with the camper in June but couldn't get into a state park. A future trip.
Just found your channel and subscribed. You are so right about Florida having some of the best state parks! Heading down soon and staying at one of our favorites, Curry Hammock. The only thing about the kayaking through the mangroves is to make sure you spray yourself with bug spray, those mosquitoes will bite through your clothes😂
Oh awesome!!! Thanks so much! Yes def need some mosquito repellent. Although I guess we were lucky when we were there we didn’t notice too bad. We noticed them more on the hiking trail.
awesome info... we are making the trek to sun and fun this year and want to explore fla after before heading back to pa. bucket list is a rocket launch at end of march. hopping to get a spot on ksc cg or Patrick afb cg if we cant what is close by st park with a view of launch.
Good vid guys. Topsail is a state preserve a little east of Destin at the western end of 30A. We love that park also. We really want to go to St Geo Island... have heard wonderful comments about it. Safe travels! bg
Topsail is def on our list! We are hoping to go in May. Saint George Island is really cool and we’re hoping to go back again this summer. Thanks so much and safe travels as well! 😊
I will agree with you on Anastasia sp but you failed to mention 3 others in the panhandle that are AWESOME and would be my #2, 3 & 4 picks! St Andrews & Topsail both have beach access and full hookups and Topsail has a pool! The other one is Henderson Sp. all awesome.
Thank you! And you are correct we have friends who have stayed at top Sail and swear by it but we just haven’t stayed there or at Saint Andrews or Henderson yet but they are all on our bucket list for sure !!! 😁
This video is exactly what we needed... We've only been to FL once and absolutely loved the state. We'll be using your review to plan our future stays. Thanks for all the help. 💖✨ OLT
HAHAHAHAH #1 drum roll was awesome! One day I hope we can get time off to come visit these campgrounds. Great video. I guess we should do one for Ohio now.
Oct-March. But busy busy busy! So less crowds June July august if you can handle the heat! We were there in July once and pavement nearly melted shoes lol
I live in Jacksonville Florida but honestly I haven't stayed any of those parks. I have lot to catch up to do, they look amazing. Thanks for the overview. 👍
My sister lived in Jax for many years. The grove park area. She said she went to Saint Augustine a lot while she lived there and I always thought. “What’s so special about that place” now I know lol. 😁
@@AlliChuckAdventures I've been in St. Augustine many times, so much to see but never camped in Anastasia SP, it's been always full when I tried. Have to try again. It's a beautiful place.
I like that before each site you give an overview / zoom in on the map to show where it is in Florida? Since you seem to know Florida so well, I'm wondering if you could do an episode on the Top 5 / Seasonal / Full-time RV ownership parks. 55 + would be nice - and dog-friendly. :)
Awesome job. Keep up the great videos. We truly enjoy seeing all of your adventures. Maybe one day we will be at the same place you are. We would love to introduce ourselves and thank you in person. Take care - stay healthy, and now go wash your hands.
We have an upcoming reservation at Anastasia, booked before we got our larger camper (now 30ft tip to tail) and I'm a bit nervous. Looks like not much room to swing wide. But the reservations are so hard to get. Suggestions on how to get there and avoiding I-4 through Orlando? We have site 111
Yeah it's the truck swing room that made it somewhat tough for us too. You should be fine i bet though. We usually go across state road 50 or through the country north of 50. Honestly can't remember the road as I'm following GPS LOL But we avoid I4 too. Don't like that road at all...
Yeah I knew what you meant. That’s the same for us. Our old trailer was 27 not including the truck. I think we are gonna start looking for a summer date to try and get back there. 😊
Just came across you guys. This is a great review of state parks in Florida. Looked like a lot of really nice areas. Thanks so much for sharing. KTKamping Kent and Tami
15 min from downtown St. Augustine from the state park? Maybe by bike. It’s like 4 min by car to the bridge of lions. I live just behind the alligator farm and surf at the state park. Thanks for the St. Augustine shoutout.
Hi you guys ! Great video thank you ! Going to Florida in December for a two week trip in a Wrangler Jeep. Just wanted to know how much coasts a night at a State Park approximately? Thanks 🎉
Ok I’ll try and remember to add that in the future. Most Florida state parks are around $30-$50 and the 50 is ones that are like in the Florida Keys. There are some that we’ve come across that are cheaper state parks to like $18-$20.
Good question. My guess is park ranger would probably make everyone leave as they’re locking up. I know the gates are automatic from the inside for opening.
We have a video at Koreshan State Park if you look back through our older videos. We really did enjoy that state park a lot too I love the history there!!! We have not yet stayed at Highland hammock and that is on our list. It looks like a huge campground if I’m not mistaken.
The sound of the waves at Anastasia as you fall asleep is amazing.
For sure!
Thank you! I bookmarked each one! Just starting our RV adventures and Floridas at the top of the list. Love that you gave ideas of other places to visit, trails, botanical gardens and the mountian biking trail my husband will love!
Awesome!!! Oh my the bike trails at Alafia are AMAZING. They have from beginner trails to really advanced trails. 😊
I love Anastasia St Park back when I tent camped there dozens of times in the 70's and 80's. At that time anyway, the tent sites were just across the road from the beach and went to sleep hearing the ocean every night. Great place!
It’s definitely one of our favorite places. We just love Saint Augustine so much !!!!😊
Another great vid. Luv you guys!! Also... really like the new Eagle!!
Aw THANK YOU! This vid gave us all kinds of trouble so glad you liked it! We are LOVING the new Eagle too. Can't wait to hit the road for Georgia this weekend!
@@AlliChuckAdventures We live in Central Ga. If you happen to drive on I-16 between Macon and Savannah...., throw up your hands and wave!! :-)
I bet Alli knows that area. She’s from Snellville. We are heading to see her mom for spring break this coming week!!! 😁
@@AlliChuckAdventures Snellville... where Everybody is Somebody!! :-)
Alli says shes heard that slogan! God willing we will be there tomorrow afternoon!
Great suggestions on the state parks! Some of these are hard to spell I am finding out quickly 😅 the waikea springs is one we want to check out!! You guys are going to have your hands full when we come visit LOL love that jeepers creepers was filmed there! You guys have it going on in Florida 🤩
Wekiwa! Heck we aren't sure how to ever pronounce it LOL You guys are gonna love these places! 😀😀
Not long now... we will be seeing you guys soon! ❤️
@@AlliChuckAdventures Wuh-key-va As a result of the soft "w" sounding like a "v", occasionally misspelled Wekiva, even on official street names.
Wow these parks are awesome! Renee and I are writing these down. That bike park looks like so much fun :D It's nice that you guys have experienced all of these parks..man you guys sure have seen a lot! St. Augustine sounds so worth visiting :) See ya guys soon!! - Kyle and Renee
Heck yeah! We can't wait til we meet up in Pensacola! Gonna have a BLAST! 😀
You guys would definitely enjoy the bike park and yes, you have to see St. Auggie!
Jonathan Dickinson in hobe sound also has the mountain biking and it’s by the beach.
Yes they do have some beautiful RV parks around the state of Florida some even have a primitive campsite for tents
For sure! A lot now have tent sites with electric too!
Bob we would love to have you camp with us sometime! ❤️
Anastasia is my favorite too, because I surf. It's by the beach but there are still plenty of trees so it still feels like camping in the woods rather than an RV parking lot.

Aw thanks so much! Really appreciate that! 😁

Good stuff y’all. Thanks for great advice and recommendations on our beautiful Florida

Thank you!! 😄
Thanks again! Hope to see you all out on the road in Florida! Johnny, in Sarasota
Thanks Johnny!!! 😁
Sarasota is a beautiful area!! Thank you!
Very cool we like st Augustine I have a 30 foot keystone passport but I think I can get it in good video congratulations on the new trailer
Saint Augustine is AWESOME!!!! we love it so much!
Great video guys! We have been wanting to go to Anastasia State Park and visit St Augustine for a while now... gonna have to make it happen now after watching this....
Oh Saint Augustine is so AWESOME! And Anastasia is a great great state park too!!! We are trying to figure out our next trip there! 😁
Yes, it’s a must do. You will love it!
Just found you guys.. great video. Can't wait to get down into Florida and visit parks on your list. Thanks for sharing.
Aww...thank you! You will have a blast in Florida!
Florida is awesome for camping especially our state parks. 😊
They kayaking and the stars at curry hammock sold us!!!!! 🤩 Saint Augustine looks beautiful 😍
OMG that kayaking was the best!!! You guys know john and heather schragg? I thought I seen john saying y’all were camping last weekend?
@@AlliChuckAdventures We just met them last weekend!! Had a great time with them!! 😊

@@AlliChuckAdventures they had a lot of good things to say about y’all too!!! You always need a good friend to drunk text now and then and especially when camping 😂
That is very true! Plus we’ve been trying to get them to come to Florida and do some awesome camping here!
Awesome video!! My hubby converted a trailer into a small camper. We will be booking these spots for 2023…hopefully! Thanks!
You have to LOVE the Florida State Parks! We have some really awesome places here. So cool that you converted a trailer! Maybe we will see each other out there on the road soon!
@@AlliChuckAdventures yes I love our beautiful Florida! It would be really nice to see you guys on the road some day! Be safe!
A great review of state parks in Florida. I am heading back down to the keys with the camper in June but couldn't get into a state park. A future trip.
It’s getting so hard to get sites in state parks in the Keys. Try wanderinglabs website. Sometimes it will work for the Keys.
Our top 5:
Jonathan Dickinson
Topsail
Lake Louisa
Little Talbot Island.
Been wanting to try Topsail.
I'm booked in Anastasia State Park May 2021. Will be my first camping trip to Florida.
Awesome!!! My guess is you’re gonna LOVE that campground and Saint Augustine! Have you ever just been to Saint Augustine?
@@AlliChuckAdventures No it will be my first
OH MY! You'll have to let us know what you think of the town!
Perfect place for your first camping trip here. Enjoy!

Yes! JP was nice too! We stayed there but only got one night couple years ago. Would love to go back and have more time to snorkel and everything.

It really is and that is where Alli and I got engaged years back!!! So it definitely holds a special place for us! ❤️😁
Love this video! Was just trying to figure out where to go! Unfortunately it’s like winning the lottery to get in lol. Great video! Thank you!
Yeah it’s tough in winter months to get sites here lol! Thanks so much!

Oh that’s awesome!!! Hopefully you will love some of these as much as we do!!! 😊
I was expecting state parks like that of Arizona and California. All but the last two in the video are kind of interesting.
Florida state parks are awesome. We are lucky to have them for sure. Thanks!!! 😊
We just stayed there and our motorhome is 44 feet bumper to bumper and we fit in there :)
Which park? 😁
@@AlliChuckAdventures ANASTASIA ISLAND STATE PARK :)

Yup!!! Agreed. Been there a few times!!! 😁
Glad to see St Auggie holding the #1 spot! Love our town!
But of course!!! 😁😁
You are so lucky to live there. Beautiful place!
A. Wekiva, with a v. B. Devil's Den is just outside of Williston. C. The botanical gardens are Cedar Lakes Woods and Gardens. 😉
For sure! We have been to both and both are amazing! th-cam.com/video/lL8DJXH_XVY/w-d-xo.html
We live and work at Lake Kissimmee State Park.
First time here,
Awesome! We stayed there last year and did some co-camping with Alli's Dad and Step mom! Loved it!
@@AlliChuckAdventures Awesome.
We visited Bok Tower while there and that was really awesome!
@@AlliChuckAdventures My husband worked there years ago. It's an amazing place.
How awesome!!
HAHAHAHAH #1 drum roll was awesome! One day I hope we can get time off to come visit these campgrounds. Great video. I guess we should do one for Ohio now.
Yeah you should!!! I’ve been telling you to make one of you top favs! 😁
Love Florida state parks!!! We have been to most of them!
That are great!!! We are working on camping at all of them!!! Thanks!
Once we get the new RV we are going to plan our visit to the Keys. When are some good months to go?
Oct-March. But busy busy busy! So less crowds June July august if you can handle the heat! We were there in July once and pavement nearly melted shoes lol

We do LOVE Saint Augustine...how did you fair with Ian? I seen there was some flooding there.
Anastasia Island State Park is beautiful!
you know we love our saint augustine!
Yes it surely is!! ❤️
What is the best for near a big city with public transportation in south Florida
Maybe koreshen but it’s closed now from hurricane Ian. 🙁
I knew Anastasia would be your #1.
How’d you guess?!?! LOL
Most definitely! ❤️
That is where Angie and I went to when we camped out when I had the trike Was St Augustine
That’s an awesome campground and you know we love Saint Augustine 😁
Hi you guys ! Great video thank you ! Going to Florida in December for a two week trip in a Wrangler Jeep. Just wanted to know how much coasts a night at a State Park approximately? Thanks 🎉
Most average with all the fees around $30 - $35. Ones in the keys are little more. 😁
If we ever make it out to Florida, we'll know where to go.
You ever make it to Florida you better let us know so we can do some camping together! 😀
@@AlliChuckAdventures Will do!
As we will when we make it to AZ!
When y’all headed back to Texas? I’d suggest South Padre Island, but it’s nothing compared to the parks you’re used to.
We surely wanna do some RVing in Texas. Big bend is one of our bucket list ones. I’d like to see Killeen Texas too. It’s where my sister was born. 😁
@@AlliChuckAdventures Killeen is Spanish for “not even tumbleweed grows here”
@@AlliChuckAdventures Big Bend is on our list too.
“Two Retired Teachers” have a few videos on the area and places to visit.
Really? that's cool. Yeah my dad was stationed at Fort Hood when sis was born.
That's crazy i just seen a video of theirs last night, but before reading your comment here. LOL
Allie, are you KetoPaleo? Great video, btw, thank you!
Yes we both are on a Keto diet! Just Keto though. Thanks!!!
@@AlliChuckAdventures both lookin good!
my brother and I are looking for all year stay camp sights? Any ideas?
Not really that we know. I know state parks limit to 14 days at a time. Sorry I don’t have an answer to help ya.
Your first pronunciation was correct. It's a long E not long I. By the way HappilyEverHanks recommended you.
Have you ever been to Ichetucknee park in Central Florida.
Oh awesome!!! Thanks for helping out and stopping by! Hanks are awesome! Hope you have a great weekend! 😁
Thank you for sharing, if you would include some pricing would be nice
Ok I’ll try and remember to add that in the future. Most Florida state parks are around $30-$50 and the 50 is ones that are like in the Florida Keys. There are some that we’ve come across that are cheaper state parks to like $18-$20.
You nailed it! Unfortunately you’ve let some of our precious little secret places out 😭 Bittersweet but thanks
whoops! LOL Florida has so many great state parks and places to see!
@@AlliChuckAdventures you bet! And thank goodness we’ve been able to continue camping here thru the pandemic with no issues.
Right!!! So right!
Not too far from Navy Air Station Jacksonville.
Yup! My sister lived in Jax for many years and always went to Saint Augustine...Never knew back then why they loved it so much....I DO NOW!!!! 😀
Does it allow dogs I know a lot of state parks don’t
Yes we have never encountered a state park that doesn’t allow dogs. Some state Forrest parks do restrict them though.
what happens if you stay inside State park overnight in a small van without a camp or RV site when they lock up?
Good question. My guess is park ranger would probably make everyone leave as they’re locking up. I know the gates are automatic from the inside for opening.
I wish you gave some prices.?¿ 😊
They fluctuate at most state parks here in Florida average with all the fees about 40 to 45 a night
What about tent camping ..
Oh a lot of the Florida state parks have tent camping sections!!! 😁
Development is being proposed for Florida State parks
I know and NOT happy about what we are hearing
Highland Hammock And koreshian state park deserve recognition especially for blue collar peeps ; just saying
We have a video at Koreshan State Park if you look back through our older videos. We really did enjoy that state park a lot too I love the history there!!! We have not yet stayed at Highland hammock and that is on our list. It looks like a huge campground if I’m not mistaken.
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
How’s that jayco. I
We LOVE our Jayco. Not sure if you’re asking about the White Hawk or our new Eagle HT. But loved the WH and love the new one!!!
Wee-ki-va, with a long I.

Yep! Nikki May! 🐶
