Anastasia is a very nice park close to the beach and the attractions in St. Augustine Beach, and not to far from the old historic part of town. The State Park beach is a pretty long walk or short bike ride from the campground. Only problem is no dogs allowed on that beach. You can drive to St. Augustine Beach where you can drive right onto the beach and park. The is a charge during season, and while I am pretty sure dogs are permitted in the off season, I am not sure about the summer.
We might not be too much help with family restaurants since we head more toward adult oriented taverns, but not too far from the campground are "The Gypsy Cab Company" and "The Black Fly", both of which are good. Down the other way toward St. Augustine Beach is the Sunset Grill which is another local favorite. You should try to get to the "World Famous Oasis" to the south on A!A, good food, but pretty much a drinking spot. Out on Route 1 there is every chain restaurant you ever saw if the kids are more into that.
There are a couple of trolly tours that cruise around the historic district that the kids might - if I remember correctly, one is made up like a train - and that would give you the lay of the land to see where you might want to go back to. The lighthouse and the Alligator Farm are both near the campground.
