Camping near Fernandina Beach guide

Overview

North of Jacksonville, Fernandina Beach nearly dips into Georgia—but Florida isn’t finished quite yet. Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Amelia River, this Nassau County city sits on Amelia Island. Due to this unique location, Fernandina Beach presents campers with Northeast Florida’s top trails, golf courses, and vistas. Trailblazers will love exploring Florida’s wildlife while on a nature tour of Egan’s Creek Greenway Trail. Meanwhile, group campers near Main Beach Park can have fun in the sun with a game of beach volleyball. Campsites on Fernandina Beach offer a taste of island life, right along the East Coast.

Where to go

Fort Clinch State Park

For proof that Fernandina Beach does it all, Fort Clinch State Park clinches the deal. As a well-preserved Civil War fort, Fort Clinch contains galleries, beaches, and trails. The fort is simultaneously a park, so in between all of those cannons, tortoises may make an appearance. Incredible views are a common amenity across Fort Clinch campsites, which can accommodate RV, cabin, and tent campers—as well as campers seeking a bungalow, boat, or yurt.

Amelia Island State Park

Head south of Fernandina Beach, and you’ll encounter Amelia Island’s namesake park As one of the Talbot Island State Parks, Amelia Island State Park covers roughly 200 acres of beaches, marshes, and forests. Given this all-encompassing scenery, campers can enjoy a slew of activities. Think: swimming, kayaking, sunbathing, and fishing. If you really love the latter, make sure to stop by George Crady Bridge Fishing Pier State Park to cast your rod with the locals.

Talbot Island

Just below Fernandina Beach—and Amelia Island, for that matter—Talbot Island yet again merges landscapes. Less than 30 minutes south of your Fernandina Beach campsite, you’ll leave one island and enter another. Enjoy a picnic, swim, or hike at Big Talbot Island State Park. Just south of the park, the wetlands of Timucuan Ecological and Historical Preserve beg for a slow morning spent birdwatching and admiring Florida’s marshes.

When to go

Fernandina Beach camping thrives when the beaches are at their best. As is the case for most of Florida, optimal beach camping means a winter getaway. Florida summers get unbearably hot and bug-ridden. All campers can agree—nature is enjoyed best when the nights are cool and the mosquitoes sparse.
