Celestial Acres

6 sites · RVs, Tents2 acres · Hastings, FL

Welcome to our little homestead. Nestled amidst the serene countryside, this quaint campground offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. Surrounded by lush farms and sprawling horse pastures, the air is filled with the sweet scent of wildflowers and the gentle rustle of leaves. With only a handful of RV spots and a few cozy tents scattered among the trees, guests can truly reconnect with nature while roasting marshmallows over crackling campfires under a blanket of stars. Here, the pace slows down, allowing visitors to unwind and immerse themselves in the simple pleasures of rural life. We just finished (well 2 years ago) traveling the country in an RV with five of our 7 kids (oldest two were in college) and we had a terrible time finding places to stay in Saint Augustine when we came home to visit. I hope that we can offer some nice people a safe and beautiful place to park their rig. Things to do: The property is near the historic St. Augustine, a fun walkable/bikeable city, lots of state parks and of course an awesome beach! Other things to note: 6 Miles away is 4 Lakes Campground with dumping facilities

Beach camping near St Augustine guide

Overview

About 40 miles south of Jacksonville along Florida’s northeastern coast, St. Augustine is one of the oldest cities in the US. Its Atlantic Ocean beaches are among its biggest draws for campers, especially during the hot and humid summers. Crescent Beach boasts remarkably fine and soft white sand as well as covered picnic tables and public restrooms for day-trippers. Look for nesting sea turtles from May to October, while staying mindful of any local restrictions. Lifeguards are typically on duty along various stretches of beaches in and near St. Augustine. The area offers great opportunities for a variety of water sports, including kayak and paddleboard rentals. It’s one of the best spots in Florida for fishing, inviting anglers to hook trout, flounder, and redfish year-round. Anastasia State Park offers beachfront campsites for both tents and RVs, all of which have water and electricity, fire rings, and in-ground grills. Cook up freshly caught fish, and enjoy an oceanside meal in one of the park’s many picnic areas.
