This 1,962-acre barrier island park has 60 campsites with electricity, water hookups and a dump station that is nearby. Six sites have concrete pads and walkways.
The campground is located behind historic dunes in the pine flatwoods. Although there are no ocean or gulf views, the campsites are only a quarter-mile from the beach and the gulf. There are two restrooms with hot showers, a playground, and a linear nature trail that meanders from the campground through the pine forests and coastal scrub.
Pets are welcome but must be kept on a six-foot leash controlled by the pet's owner. Pets are not allowed on the beach or in any facilities.
There are six concrete campsites with connecting sidewalks to the restroom facilities.
Primitive carry-in, carry-out camping at Gap Point is accessible only by foot, via the 2.5-mile Gap Point Trail, or by canoe, kayak or other shallow drafting vessel. The two sites accommodate 12 people each.
Youth/group tent camping is available for organized groups up to 25 or a minimum of six people. Chaperones must remain with the group at all times. Restrooms, cold water showers, picnic tables and a campfire circle are available at the youth/group camp.
Reservations can be made up to 60 days in advance of arrival for juvenile groups and up to 30 days in advance of arrival for adult groups. Juvenile group requests will not bump a prior adult group reservation made within the 30-day window.
Hammock camping opportunities are available in every campsite.

A small fee to enter the park which has several areas to park, hiking trails, and Restrooms. We were able to find some beach areas to enjoy solitude. Dogs are not allowed beaches, so please be mindful of this. While staying on SGI, we spent several days in the park hiking and beaching.
Lucky to get a spur of the moment campsite in February. Site 9 is pretty nice. Large area that we are tenting on. Only drawback is restroom lights across the road.
A beautiful island state park. Untouched. Like walking back in time. We did the nature walk. It was an easy 4 mile hike out & back to the parking lot. It ended at the campground and we walked that loop too. Lots of birds to see and natural island dunes and wetlands. The trail was well marked with cool storyboards. It’s dog friendly too.
