Anastasia State Park Campground Tour, St. Augustine (RV Living Full Time) 4K

[@cale_stultz]

I've been thinking of camping at Anastasia for a while now. I've watched a number of video reviews of the campground and I think your's is the best I've seen. Your video had just the right amount of detail and the quality was excellent. I hope the effort you both have put into producing the video is well rewarded. Thanks.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Cale, Thank you. We tried something a bit new in this campground review. I'm glad that it seems to work for most. WE really appreciate all the positive feedback form reviews. That is our reward. Alice

[@joycemoses2411]

We appreciated the drive by with the site numbers...very helpful. Thank you!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Joyce, since each site is so different, it does help to see each one. We hope it helps. Alice

[@wanderlustwheels4870]

Your site by site tours are a great resource! No one else is showing this type of content. So helpful for making reservations.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Awesome. Yes. We seem to be the only ones to do site to site. It helps if you have more than one site to pick from. Thanks. Alice

[@karenbs]

I loved the video. I like the way you toured the campsite, the beach and the surrounding things to do. One of the best videos I've seen.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Wow. Thank you for such an awesome compliment We have filmed many campgrounds- site by site tours - but haven’t published yet. Too busy traveling 😉 You will love that area. Enjoy

[@dholtman5977]

You guys are awesome! We are empty nesters and are about to start our journey as well.... As for your question, the more info the better... we can always skip through what we are not interested in. Thanks again!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Awesome. Congratulations. I bet you guys are excited. And thanks for letting us know about the info, Alice

[@carrielynnminasi8215]

The video was very helpful! I love it as is. I forwarded through the site by site until i got to our reserved spot and then went on to see the parts depicting bathrooms and then local sites to visit. I like that I could forward through and get a sense of the campground without having to watch every moment. Well done and thank you!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Awesome. Glad we could help. Yes, Larry makes numbers of sites large to make it easier. And the chapters make it easier too Enjoy your stay. It’s a beautiful area 🤗

[@willphillips6386]

Outstanding review of this popular campground! Best I’ve seen. Loving your content! Thank you for all your hard work and terrific insights.

Jocelyn, thank you for the encouragement. It’s a lot of work, but when we read comments like this and know that people share our videos, it makes it work it. Happy Camping, Alice

[@raypabs5374]

Thanks very much for showing the bath houses; this is something that many travel youtubers fail to include in their videos. I gladly liked and subscribed to your channel.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

We try to include everything that we want to see - we often go back and look at our own videos if we go back to the same campground. Unfortunately, we are way behind on our videos because of Larrys recent health crisis. Keep a look out. We hope to be back at it again soon. And thanks for your support 🤗 Happy Camping Alice

Part 1&2 sounds great 😊👍🏻

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

We do that now if the campground is really big and/or we filmed a lot of activities

[@paulinetaylor365]

Thanks for this, headed here on Monday for 3 days. Just a little beaching, biking, eating, photography and shopping this time, I told the hubby, no kayaks and no fishing!! There are plenty of other state parks for that.

Especially, if you are looking to camp in the areas. I believe in the future you maybe charging for this service. It's so vital and useful. Keep the good work and look forward to having a lot more videos from you guys. I'm so glad I ran into your KZbin. I'm now a subscriber.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Robert, we are glad you found us and appreciate your following us. There are apps that charge, but it’s for a lot more and different info and has a lot more campgrounds. But not with every site shown. We will continue to add these videos to our channel because we know they help and are appreciated. We will never charge- just ask that you watch and possibly share with others. We do make a very small amount of money from the ads that are watched. Thanks again, Alice

[@meadowbrookguideservice8359]

Hi from Maine. First time finding you, new sub. Great video! Loved how well you introduced us to the park. Our first trip in our camper was to Florida. Purchased it in December, shoveled it out in April, packed her up and head to the Keys. It was quite a shake down trip. Loved it. Our fist state park was Anastasia. We left Anastasia and went straight to Curry Hammock State Park, Marathon Key. We have also stayed at Fort De Soto near St. Petersburg. All three are beautiful! I did a lot of searching on KZbin for campground information/videos. Wish I had found videos like yours then. Great Job you Two!! PS loved the Vanna White Pose at the sign. Thanks Again. Have fun with your travels.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

You have been to some great state parks. I don’t know the one near Fort De Soto. We haven’t been that way yet. Next time you come down, make sure to visit some of the parks with springs. They are some of my favorites. Glad you found us. This video was a bit different than other campground videos because of the added “fun things to do” section. That’s the stuff I like to edit. Thank you so much for the positive feedback. I love the Vanna White comment 🤣. Stay warm. Alice

[@SUNnFUNRadio]

Answering your question about site by site tour, I like it. Having a larger rig like you do, it would be nice to know if sites are 30 amp or 50 amp (you did list them early on in this vid, thanks!) Things to do inside and near the campground is also a good option to have. I like that you index your videos, helped us skip to the sites that we might want to know about. Enjoyed this video.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

We love to read that our videos are helpful. If there are too many sites, we can’t show as much of the things to do. We try to keep the videos not too long

With all the empty spots I had to keep reminding myself of the hurricane approaching, since it seems making reservations is generally months in advance.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Silas, yes. This is a very difficult park to get any weekends. We did see empty spots during the week. But towing a fifth wheel, I don’t like to move around every few days, so we were happy we scored weekends too. It’s a great park. Just keep checking. People cancel often. Alice

[@bobfradette937]

Thanks for shaing the vlogs of the Anastasia State Park. I live in FL and due to the size of our motor home we are finding it very difficult to enjoy many of the gems of Florida.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Bob, this park only allows 38’ and under but I’ve seen some big ones in other campgrounds. How big are you? We actually would like to downsize so that we would have more sites to choose from. Florida state parks are beautiful. So much better than private parks. Alice

[@bobfradette937]

We actually upgraded from a Tiffin 32 Class A to a Tiffin 40QBH Class A diesel

@@bobfradette937 I want a 29’. 40’ should be fine for many state parks. There are just less sites available. So book early.

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

Now this looks like a very nice park. The kayak rental place is very neat to. Love all the birds. That was my favorite part of FL. I love them sites. Like how deep they are back in. Plus you get a ton of privacy. Bath house looks nice and clean as well. Plus a very good size. The sites look pretty wide to for most of them. I think we will be back in FL for our next winter after this trip is over. Larry was that lady waving at you? Hey saw your kids. Loved the turtle. That was really cool. Get out in those waters Larry. You can do it. Like the light house. That would be a Jessica thing. The Fort is a me thing. I like that. Nice looking town to. I could do me some drinking down there. lol I like the site by site. I do like the thought of breaking them up. We have talked about that though. lol I am glad Larry made it through another video with no injuries. lol Great stuff y'all.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

William, yes. Florida has a lot of birds. And this was a great campsite. Yep. We got the kids to come visit. We usually can if it’s a state park. I saw a lady wave too 😂. I hope you do come to Florida next winter. I made Larry go in the water. Anything for KZbin. I actually loved all the touristy things. I wish we had more time there. We are still torn about combo vs part 1 and 2 vids 🤔 Great hearing from you. Geeks weird we won’t see you for awhile. Larry didn’t hit his head but there are a few new cuts on his fingers. Stay safe.

[@floid33556]

Nice review! Other than the first two loops, would a 40ft class A fit in most of these? Looks like it would.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

You can filter your size rig on reserve America to make sure. Alice

[@bradlangley7815]

Here's my suggestion: show just a handful of spots in each section that are a good representation of the camp spots. Examples of larger spots for large RV's and smaller spots for small campers and trailers and then show the amenities and more things to do while your there. Maybe include comments from your boy's opinion of their parents living on the road?

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Brad, we do each site because sometimes you have more than one site to choose from. And each spot is so unique. As for the boys, I’m not sure I want to know 🤣 Alice

[@michaelschuster1654]

Just discovered you guys today while researching for a future winter in FL. Binge watching. Great site tours. Thanks for doing these drive through videos. Only hopefully constructive comment on this one is it is a bit faster than the others and not as many straight on looks into the sites. My main use is to find a great site. Other than that absolutely great. Part 1, Part 2 separation? I don't know, perhaps since they can get pretty long and not everyone is camping so it might bring in more viewership for other travel modes. Thumbs up and click that bell!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Michael, that is true. Larry was trying something new with this one. The speed is because we didn’t want it to be long but we wanted to include the fun things. Thanks for the constructive criticism. Keep it coming. I hope you make it to Florida for the winter. It’s amazing. Happy Holidays Alice

[@johnheiser8850]

You produce great videos full of useful information. We are considering visiting several of the parks and, in the future, would like to hear your opinion on the park amenities, ease of preregistration, cost and site hook - ups. You know, things you only find out by actually staying there. Keep up the great reporting! Thanks

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Not too far from my old Navy Air Station Jacksonville back in 2011.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Hanna Park is Right beside the Naval Air station in Jax, another awesome place to RV near the ocean. We did two videos about Hanna we loved it so much. Larry

Hi Guys, I realize this is an older video. Great job by the way!!! Curious what time of year this was? There seems to be a lot of openings and availability. Thanks again. Cheers!!!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

In the video description, the crate should be marked It reads Nov 15 We might have filmed in between check out and check in. And thank you

[@hereathome08]

Would like if the campsite tour was slower so you can see the sites better. Would also like to know the date you were there and making video.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

You can play it at half speed; scroll slowly; pause when you want All our videos are marked with recorded date - for instance, this one shows Nov 2021 However, this is Florida- vegetation changes after being hit by Tropical Storms, Hurricanes, and when some trimming has been done or not

[@craigdavis5144]

Excellent work. If you were to go back to this park, which site would you choose?

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Craig, that’s a tough one. Our size rig limits the loop. Most have some privacy. Ours did have low hanging branches. They are so varied, that’s why we showed every site 😂 Sorry I couldn’t help more, Alice

[@OutonaLimbwithKym]

WOW! This is such an awesome video. I live 30 minutes south of this park and I'm planning a carcamping trip, but needed to really see the inside ... and you came through. It seems like a very long walk to the beach, even from the parking lot. Do you recommend I take my bike?? Thanks for such a detailed video. (New sub) ❤

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Thank you so much for the positive comment and the sub. It would be a long walk. We biked it or drove it. You could bike to the lighthouse and downtown St. Augustine. Thanks again for the encouragement, Alice

[@rconcha3]

Fantastic video! This is exactly what i wanted to see. Just booked my campsite. Can you please tell me where you got your Florida Passport? Thank you!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Glad we could help. And thank you for the compliment. I bought my passport book years ago at Silver Springs SP at a gift shop. A ranger told me they are updating them and will sell them again online. Sorry

[@dustintravis8791]

So uh, what maneuver is going on at 3:45? 😂 Great video either way!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Dustin, I looked at the video at that time? Do you mean the GoPro on the long pole? Showing the canons? No drones allowed so we did the best we could 🤣 Thanks for watching, Alice

[@dustintravis8791]

@@DownsizingMakesCents no, it looks like you guys cross over the double-yellow lines and then some car passes you on the right...seemed strange edit: and don't worry, I'm not the internet police, it just stood out as odd! 😊

[@andysrvadventureontheroad9240]

We'll be leaving this Friday coming and I have a class A 29' L 12'6", you think I'll be ok after we rise up to level.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Just have someone watch the top as you back in. It’s been awhile so the tree might have changed or they trimmed (but doubt they trimmed)

[@andysrvadventureontheroad9240]

Thanks, I have booked that exact location 087. It's good to see where your campsite before you get there. was the back in difficult, approximately how high.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Glad we could help. The thick live oak branches were hanging low - almost took out our back AC 😳 Our RV is 13’ 6” high

[@maggieesteve]

Love your videos we use your links for various park tours. What site number was this?

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Thank you. Do you mean the site in the thumbnail? I really don’t remember. Sorry

[@Mrs.KatsCrafting]

Be very careful there especially if you use the showers. My husband was in intensive care from a bacterial infection there that is only found in third world countries. he almost died. Do not go to Flagler hospital if you are sick . If I had not transferred him to Tampa he would not be here today.

[@rvnut1133]

I am glad he is doing well. I do not use any shower anywhere but in my rig, I am a nurse and know about all of that very well. I am sorry but I see so many people not protecting themselves. Mind blowing to me and here we are ordering refrigerated trucks to put the dead.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

I never let my feet touch the floor in the bathhouse, crocs or sandals always. I have worked at Flagler hospital as a medical rep in the operating room, I wouldn’t take my dog there. Jacksonville is pretty close by and has several good hospitals. Larry

[@rudewear814u]

i liked the site tour, but which area is closest to the boardwalk that leads to the beach? Also if you buy an Annual State Park Pass do you get discount on the nightly camping fees? Thank you

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

The pass is only for day use. Check out the campground map - it should show which loop is closest. We didn’t have much of a choice because of size of rig and it’s such a popular campground

[@jayskyblue]

How are the bugs, flies and mosquitoes??

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

We were there end of October- start of November. I don’t remember I bug problem- not like the no see ems at Sebastian Inlet 😳

Site by site

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Julie, Yep. That’s how we do campground tours Plus the amenities and if there is time, fun stuff in the campground and area. Alice

[@jenniferkrafchik1421]

We've booked site 6 in the Sea Bean loop with our pop up trailer (about 20 feet long popped out). The website says it's 25 feet wide and 46 feet long, but also says 10 feet maximum vehicle length. The park ranger wasn't able to give me much advice. I'm wondering if you remember site 6 by any chance and could give your 2 cents? :-) It looks pretty spacious in your video.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Jennifer, when you booked the site on reserve America, what size rig does it say? We can’t remember that site. All we could do is watch our video again. Sorry I couldn’t help more, Alice

[@jenniferkrafchik1421]

@@DownsizingMakesCents - thanks for your quick reply. It just gives the max vehicle size of 10 feet. But the width and length are more than sufficient for us. I was hoping the ranger could help us, but he didn't. It's proven to be so difficult to book any FL state park, otherwise I'd grab another site!

[@jenniferkrafchik1421]

Update - We were able to find a ranger that could help us! They said the site is more than big enough, we'll just have to unhitch and push our popup into the site since maneuverability would be the issue.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

@@jenniferkrafchik1421 push your pop up? Wow. We couldn’t do that with our fifth wheel. I’m glad you got some help. I wish I could have helped more, Alice

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

@@jenniferkrafchik1421 yes. We we first did site to sites, it was if you had more than one site to choose from 😂 - not bloody likely now. Let’s hope it gets better as other ways to vacation opens up
