We are in site 7, beachside. The sites aren’t very large or private, but most have adequate space. The restrooms ate great, large and clean. I would stay here again, but would try to get a site in the river.
We are looking to find an available campsite in Fort Clinch campground. Are there any available ?

Can a 42 ft motor home fit in site 4 at Fort Clinch State park
Hi Darcy,
Campsite #4 has a parking pad length of 45 feet so your 42 foot motorhome will fit fine. Have fun!
What are campsites A through F like? I see they are “tent only” but would an SUV fit at the spot or is it hike-in?
Hi Brenna,
Campsites A to F are primitive, tent-only (walk-to) sites. No wheeled camping equipment allowed. Each of the tent-only campsites has a parking spur (about 10×20) for one vehicle. Trailers/RVs are not permitted. The walk to the camping area is about 30-40 feet. Each site also has a picnic table, ground grill and access to potable water.

Will my 38ft travel trailer fit in site 2 – beachside??
Hi Tammy,
Yes, that site can accommodate an RV or trailer up to 45 feet. You can park your tow vehicle next to it in the parking spot.
Hi Tammy,
Yes, campsite #2 can accommodate an RV or trailer up to 45 feet. You can park your tow vehicle next to it in the parking spot.
Several friends in my saddle club want to camp with our horses and ride the beach. Can you accommodate us?
Hi Eileen,
CampsitePhotos.com is not associated with the campgrounds listed on our website. We provide the photos of each campsite, campground availability alerts and camping info. I’m not sure if they allow horse back riding at For Clinch State Park/beaches. I recommend you give the park a call to double check: 904 277-7274
Trying to find out the foot print (open areas for tents). We have two 4 person tents but on is kind large (94″x94″) and other is standard size (8’x7′). Will both fit?
Hi Mary,
Unfortunately we don’t have that info (foot print / tent camping area size) for the Fort Clinch campsites.
Are your beach sites REALLY only 30 amp? The Florida State Park website is horrible to try to find anything….I was so used to Reserve America.
Hi Sherry,
The electric hookup varies between site at Fort Clinch State Park (Beach or River loop) – either 30 amp or 50 amp available (depending on the campsite).
