So excited to be able to

to go camping this is the place!!
Welcome to Faver-Dykes State Park!
Noted for its pristine condition, this tranquil park borders
Pellicer Creek as it winds along Florida's east coast highways down
to the Matanzas River. Pellicer Creek is a popular site for birding
with more than one hundred bird species seen during spring and fall
migrations. Songbirds, including the colorful wood warblers, along
with eagles and falcons, return to nest at the park each year.
Wading birds, such as egrets, wood storks, white ibis, and herons,
feed in the tidal marshes and creeks. This peaceful park is also
home to deer, turkeys, hawks, bobcats, and river otters. Fishing,
picnicking, and nature walks are popular activities. Pellicer Creek
is a designated state canoe trail and visitors can rent canoes at
the park. A full-facility campground is available for overnight
stays. Located 15 miles south of St. Augustine near the
intersection of I-95 and U.S. 1.
The staff at Faver-Dykes State Park welcome you to take a walk back
in time to the “Real Florida” at this 6,000 acre park.
This is a great time of the year to get outside and camp at the
park’s family campground. The park offers three nature trails
for your hiking pleasure and a beautiful picnic area overlooking
Pellicer Creek for the whole family to enjoy. You can rent a canoe
or bring your own and enjoy the calm waters of the Pellicer Creek
State Canoe Trail. Come relax at Faver-Dykes State Park and enjoy
the wonders of nature at this peaceful park. We look forward to
seeing you at the park soon.
