I have reserved a camp site at St.Andrews State Park for the weekend. Friday the 13th to Sunday the 15th of August. Plenty of other sites are available. My site is on the water with room for a couple other boats. If anyone else is interested let me know.

We can, but the wind has to be right.
the only problem is, it's VERY narrow to get out.
so if you have to head up...you are pretty much screwed..
it's all good though...we flew a hull right outta there.
the chop was about 6-8 feet..but we handled it.
-----------------------------------------------------------
All it is, is metal piping to stop the oil..
but it will NOT stop us!

Skarr,

I will be in PC beach on the 23 for 3 days and I am thinking about extending our stay and bringing the boat with me. If I do we will be in the holiday inn sunspree for 2 nights the St. Andrews for another two nights. Which is the best camp site at St. Andrews? 143? 14? I see you have stayed at both. I will take your word on it and hope its available for the 25th thru 27. I will be in a small motor home just like this one here
http://www.roadtrek.com/models.aspx?ModelID=17&YearID=11&Country=USA

Its small enough to fit pretty much any site that will take a pop up. Thanks for the help.

Ok after viewing the sites available, 14 and 143 are only tent sites. Is 149 a waterfront hobie friendly site. I would like to just leave it set up on the beach if possible.

15 is the best then 14. I think 143 is listed as tent only.
There are a lot of sites on the water, but most have trees or rip rap along the shore. The ones I have listed had a big enough beach to park a cat on. It has been over a year, so conditions might have changed. There is a ramp at the park but it is surrounded by piers. I will up date my list this weekend. I have about 15 more sites that can be used.

You can check availability here http://www.floridastatepa…rg/standrews/default.cfm
