We were there a few years ago in August. Loved the State Park, the beach is long and few people. It would be a bit of a walk from the campground. You can park near the beach. Other people camping said that if you walked the beach along the East side of the island you could find shells. You cannot drive the road is gated. I reserved one of the sites with the low numbers. There was a lot of vegetation and hidden puddles breeding mosquitoes. Maybe the higher numbered sites with the dunes behind the sites wouldn't have so many mosquitoes. Less chance of puddles. Don't think "Oh the mosquitoes can't be that bad." They are so be prepared. We would go back and I recommend camping at the park. Apalachicola is a nice town with grocery stores and shops, etc. It is 12 miles away.
