About
Cedar Creek Campground is a small primitive campground tucked within Matanzas State Forest in St. Johns County, Florida. The four tent sites are designed for tent camping, small RVs, and pop-up campers with a maximum vehicle length of 15 feet. Each site accommodates up to 8 people and features a picnic table, fire ring, and charcoal grill. A shared portalet and pitcher pump providing non-potable water serve the campground. Matanzas State Forest encompasses over 4,699 acres of pine flatwoods, scrub, and wetlands that protect the remaining undisturbed salt marsh within the Guana-Tolomato-Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve. The forest offers miles of multi-use trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Bird watching and wildlife viewing are popular activities, and hunting is permitted during designated seasons. The campground's location provides easy access to historic downtown St. Augustine, Fort Matanzas National Monument, St. Augustine Beach, Marineland, and Faver-Dykes State Park.
