So glad you looking at our rally.
Since this rally is at a Florida State Park we were unable to reserve a specific area for our club to camp in. So, if you find a spot open up via the reservation system, grab it quick b/c it won't last long. The KOA in St. Augustine is our alternate location and is only a short bike ride away.
Here are some of the things you can look forward to doing while ringing 2022:
Kayaking & Paddle boarding- bring your own or rent one from the concession from within the park - This is an easily social distanced activity so we'll be looking to see if we can get a guided tour of the area for wildlife,details of the area etc.
Biking - This campground is quite large - so plenty of room to bike within the park and there are two gates you can exit from the park to bike out and explore the neighborhood. Hoping also to map out a decent bike ride for those that want to ride through local neighborhoods etc.
Playgrounds - with in the park for the kids.
Beach - You can bike or drive to the beach.
Farmer's Market - On Saturdays You can walk or bike to this right outside the campground.
Dining Out - Plenty of restaurants to choose from. Many of them have outdoor dining areas. Salt Life & the infamous Conch House is one you can bike to from the campground.
Volleyball Courts - You can bike or drive to if anyone wants to plan a small game. Small fee to reserve a volleyball court.
Old Town Trolley - Tours through the historic district of St. Augustine.
Winery, Distillery, Ghost, & Nights of Lights Tours - provided they are allowed at that time. If they are allowed we will be inquiring about having tours for our Airstream Rally Members.
Marine Land - about 45 min. south of the campground. See the dolphins and maybe even swim with them.
St. Augustine Amphitheater - this may or may not have an event while we are there.
Scavenger Hunt for the kids - Looking for ideas on this.
Polar Plunge - New Year's Day - if large group gatherings are allowed with hot cider and hot chocolate after the plunge.
All local and state safety regulations will be followed. We want to make this a safe, fun and a memorable rally.
