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

[@cyndi9628]

Well, this is a first! Our RV made it to KZbin! When you went through the loops, I looked closely to see who was in our spot....and it was us. Apparently we were there when you were there. Thanks for another great video.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Cyndi, that’s a first for us, too. How cool. It’s such a great campground. I wish we were starting our New Year there. Take care, 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

[@ThePuppymomma]

So grateful for you taking the time to do this, we want to go, and will re-watch this video before we book a camp site. This was truly Amazing, we wish all RV videos were done to this standard. Thank you so Very Much!!!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Mandi, wow. Thank you so much for the compliment. We actually look at our own tours before booking at a place we have already videoed 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

[@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

[@dianezellhart4737]

Wow! You two are phenomenal at taking and editing video! Fabulously done. Thank you for this tour.

Dianne, thank you so much. We try to improve and try new things with every video. Alice

[@jaclynbentolila8956]

The site by site tour was just what I was looking for. One video is good too. Thank you!! This helps me and save me so much time.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Glad we can help. Even if you can’t pick a site, at least you know what to expect when you get there. Alice

[@teresajames3113]

Thank you so much for this video! It inspired me to act on my dream to camp at Anastasia State Park to escape the Ohio winter in February. Although it was already October 2024, I went on the park website and found one last tent site available. I checked back to your video to get a good look at the site before I took the reservation.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

@@teresajames3113 Glad we could help Florida has some beautiful state parks. We are wishing the best for everyone in Florida that will be affected by Hurricane Milton Alice

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Will, thank you so much for such great feedback. It really feels good when someone recognizes our hard work. Thank you. Alice

[@Jennanyree]

Definitely showing both a drive by of the camp sites and amenities are important for our planning!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Jenna, some people think it’s unnecessary, but every site is so different. Plus, seeing what amenities are there is important, Alice

[@Jennanyree]

@@DownsizingMakesCents you can't find any other rv bloggers providing this important info which makes you stand apart from everyone else! Keep it up, it's appreciated!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

@@Jennanyree wow. Thank you. I do believe we are the only ones that do site by site tours. If we are at a campground long enough, we try to get that for everyone. Thank you. You are of course sharing our vids? 😉 🤗 Alice

[@myrnaedelen8385]

Love your campground tour! It shows the sites well, but it's also a good view of the road & helpful ahead of time to view the ease or difficulty backing in. It's good to see park amenities and area attractions, too. A second video to show the attractions in more detail would be nice, but one video is fine.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Myrna, great feedback. Because Paynes Prairie State Park has so much to do there, we are actually working on a second video. That seems to help determine if we can make it one video or two. I prefer a separate video. Larry prefers one 😂. Alice

[@Sushi2735]

WOW, you are indeed in the Cat Bird seat! What fun, enjoy! You have a beautiful RV!!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Thanks. This was awhile ago. We no longer have that RV Alice

[@danhilsdorf23]

We greatly enjoy the site by site. The site numbers along with the chapters with actual loop names help to decode the 4 character codes on the reservation site. It was also helpful to know that all sites had water/electric and no sewers, and to see the 3 lane dump station. We’re planning a couple months next winter and this park is on the list! Thank you!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Glad to hear we included helpful info. It’s a beautiful campground - you can the ocean at night. It’s a long walk or a short bike to the beach. Also, the lighthouse is very close and biking ton the fort and historic downtown is much better than trying to find parking. Enjoy your stay. We hope to camp there again 🤗

[@tdwestcott2704]

We enjoy your site by site biking through a park. It help for picking out a site when reserving and it’s nice to see the camping ahead of time. We enjoy your videos.

[@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!

[@cindymaesilva47]

This video was awesome. I truly enjoyed it.

[@cindymaesilva47]

I liked how you showed the sections with their sites. The hanging branches would be a concern for us. Does management help you find a site with proper clearance?

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

You have to go onto reserve America and click on each site to find its measurements. Other park maps will let you know the size. But the hanging limbs should be fixed. You can only switch if there is something else available. But you really are on your own. 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

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.

Glen, that’s awesome. We wish we knew where we were going to be so far in advance 🤣 It’s a great campground. Make sure to go see the fort, lighthouse and St. Augustine downtown. Alice

Great vid! The wife and I are heading to Anastasia next month. I do like the 2 part video idea. Thanks!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Thank you. We hope you guys enjoy your time time. We tried the two part and they don’t get watched us much? Weird. We always appreciate a share of any video you think might help others - it does a lot for our channel. Thanks again and happy camping, Alice

[@johnlagrega4435]

Part 1&2 sounds great 😊👍🏻

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

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

[@joewhite4038]

Loved the tour of the campsites and main focal points at the camp. Pointing out the main tourist attractions surrounding the area was all I needed as I do my own research. I feel a 2 part video would be fantastic. It might help eliminate less personally interesting sites for some people. Great job on this video. Look forward to others like this. Happy camping!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Joe, thank you so much for watching and your input. We tried the two part video, but the views dropped drastically. Larry likes the campground tour. I like to do the fun stuff part. So that’s why we do the chapters now so you can skip and just watch what you like. See you again soon, Alice

What an awesome park, this is a must do for us as we have been wanting to visit St. Augustine for a while now. Thanks for the review and the virtual stay :) So much to see in St. Augustine. That sunset was gorgeous, and that lighthouse, so iconic. Debbie - BluWave Odyssey

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Debbie, this was my first time at the campground. But I’ve been to St. Augustine many times. The area is beautiful. I do love my lighthouses. And the park was amazing too. But hard to get more than a few days. We were lucky to get 14 in a row in one spot. Alice

[@billb672]

Loved the site by site drive by tour. Great job on the video.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Bill, thanks. We started doing site by site because we couldn’t get a hook look at them before we went. Glad you found it helpful. It’s an amazing campground. Alice

[@angelvazquez288]

Thanks for the site by site tour! I wish others did this as well because it lets us see what a specific site I may be interested looks like in a video instead of a cartoon map of the whole park

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Angel, most people don’t do it because it’s a lot of work 😂. And it doesn’t get a lot of views. But whenever we read a comment like yours, we realize we are doing the right thing. Thank you. 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

[@VinceHoupt]

We want to come to Anastasia state park in May 2025. Hopefully we will get a spot and try it out. Your video makes it look very good.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Its awesome. Larry

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

@@VinceHoupt Vince, the sound of waves and smell of the ocean is very calming. Good luck - it’s a hard one to get 🤗 Alice

[@dalefine3329]

Wow! What a nice view! My wife and I want to camp somewhere in St Augustine. Now, we added that to our bucket list! By the way, we want to get 310gk 2022 spring! Hopefully, we get what we want! Many thanks!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

The new 310s are really nice, make sure your get the upgraded 8k axles if you can. Having extra capacity will really give you confidence in your suspension. We broke a leaf spring, it worked ok but could have been a real problem. Larry

[@dalefine3329]

@@DownsizingMakesCents Thank you! I have been eyeing on 8K axles because we need extra capacity just like you mentioned. Thanks again!

[@jeffwente9331]

Love Anastasia State Park!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

👍

[@ramonlicha3881]

Great video thanks for sharing the information it’s great value. We like to see a second part of the amenities on the campground. Stay safe and healthy and hope see you on the road on 2021. We plan to retire next year and start our journey.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Ramon, we will have a second part coming soon for the Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park. So much to do there. Hope you like it. Alice

[@ramonlicha3881]

Alice thanks hope to see soon the video!

[@deborahmoore1111]

Love the site by site tour.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Deborah, we try to do the site but site for all the state parks we tour. Glad you liked it, Alice

[@jefflaskowski8970]

Best review I've seen. Thanks

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Jeff, glad we could help. It’s such a beautiful campground within biking distance of a lighthouse, fort and cool historic town, Alice

[@laurascarlett2057]

Loved the video and the music! Looks like a nice park!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Laura, thanks. We try to pick music that would speak to many. It’s a great place. Happy Holidays Alice

[@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. Alice

[@karencavalli7180]

Your video was perfect for my needs. Sites especially and amenities. If possible dog rules or parks would be helpful. Great video!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Karen, I apologize for not adding dog restrictions. We try to. Like Curry Hammock in the keys, this state park does not allow dogs on the beach. I hope you enjoy your stay. Happy New Year, Alice
