About Camp Helen State Park:

Camp Helen State Park is home to seven distinct eco-systems across 180 acres free of condos or hotels. It offers a glimpse of what Florida used to look like. Old oak trees covered in Spanish moss surround the edges of the park. The largest coastal dune lake in the area, Lake Powell, sits right next to the park. Throughout the park are bald eagles, great horned owls, snakes of all kinds and a natural setting that cannot be rivaled.

Visitors are invited to use the water for kayaking, swimming or to practice stand up paddle boarding. Since 2010, Camp Helen has restored eight out of nine historic buildings in the park. There is also evidence of prehistoric history and Native Americans living on the land.

The park is for day use only. Activities include swimming, beachcombing, nature study, hiking and both freshwater and saltwater fishing. The park is open from 8 a.m. until sundown, 365 days a year.

Admission Fee: $4 per vehicle; use the honor box to pay fees. Correct change is required. Limit 8 people per vehicle. $2 for pedestrians, bicyclists, extra passengers, passengers in vehicle with holder of Annual Individual Entrance Pass.
