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

Larger groups can be accommodated with a little ingenuity, too. Third, the layout of the property is such that the lake and large floating dock are always the star of the show. Whether you’re playing volleyball, badminton or horse shoes, sitting around the fire pit or canoeing on the lake, the sum of its parts makes a wonderful private indoor/outdoor lodging and recreation space for fishing, swimming, boating and grilling. Learn more about this land: "Old Florida" lake cabin, deck, dock, 12-bed bunkhouse, fully-equipped indoor kitchen, outdoor kitchen/bar and hot outdoor & indoor showers.

Beach and dog-friendly camping near St Augustine guide

Overview

Proud of its status as the “oldest city in the US”, St Augustine is brimming with colonial architecture, National Historical Monuments, and period-costumed tour guides. Thankfully, this coastal city is as rich in natural sites as it is in history, and you won’t have to look far to find a state park campground or a coastal Hipcamp. Snag a beachside campsite at Anastasia State Park, a favorite for surfers, birders, and paddlers; explore miles of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails at Matanzas State Forest; or go canoeing or stand-up paddleboarding around the marshes at Faver-Dykes State Park.

Where to go

Atlantic Coast

White-sand beaches and some of Florida’s best surf breaks tempt swimmers and surfers to the Atlantic Coast, and St Augustine makes a strategic base camp. Daytona Beach, Flagler Beach, and New Smyrna Beach are all surf hotspots, while campers can head to Tomoka State Park or escape the crowds at a kayak-in campsite at the Canaveral National Seashore.

North Orlando Lakes

Lakes, rivers, and forests sprawl north of Orlando, providing a natural playground within easy reach of the city’s theme parks. Escape to the shady campgrounds of Ocala National Forest, where you can cool off in the natural springs, rent a cabin in the woods, and take your pick of fishing and boating lakes. Nearby, George Lake, and Crescent Lake are equally popular with campers.

Jacksonville and around

A 45-minute drive north of St Augustine, Florida’s most populous city, Jacksonville, is a surprise hit with campers. Sitting pretty at the mouth of the St John’s River, it’s the gateway to three national parks, seven state parks, and 400 parks and gardens. You’ll never be far from a campground, whether you want to go birding at Huguenot Memorial Park, pitch your tent on the beach at Little Talbot Island State Park, or gallop a horse along the beach at Amelia Island State Park.

When to go

St Augustine’s subtropical climate and year-round sunshine allow for beach days right through winter, but the varied seasons mean campers need to come prepared. Visiting in summer? Expect afternoon thunderstorms (this is hurricane season, after all). Winter camping? Pack warm clothes as temperatures drop sharply after sundown. If you have to avoid one season, make it fall. September through November sees the highest rainfall, but the silver lining is low-season prices and fewer crowds.
