After several people who
loved Fort Clinch State Park told us that we needed to camp there, we planned
our trip. That trip was last May. One beach loop site (only 20 sites in that
loop) suddenly opened for a few days, a cancellation I imagine. We quickly
booked it, and loved it so much upon our return we immediately booked a site
for December.
The December trip of
course occurred after Hurricane Matthew made its way along the east coast of
Florida, not a direct hit but close enough to cause a lot of damage. On our
first trip we walked out the long fishing pier, enjoying the walk and the view.
This trip a sign at the ranger station informed us that the pier was closed due
to damage from the storm, indefinitely.
As we walked along the
beach we saw debris along the shore, a result certainly of the storm. We walked
under the pier, and from the beach could see damage. Fort Clinch State Park
remains a beautiful place to visit and to camp. We hope that the pier damage
can be repaired soon.
