Used to enjoy walking this park, my last visit i encountered a couple joyriding around in a cart, the woman Cindy was so rude, telling me that I could not be here and needed to leave the park because of the bees!!!! I had been hiking several hours, and her advice was at dusk... the bees are at the hive at dusk. I probably will not be returning to this park because of her.

Trails were easy. No maps though. Google map didn't match up correctly. No litter, and no horse piles since it is equestrian. Not many people walking.

Love this state park! Quiet and calm. Free entry, dog-friendly (must be on 6-inch leash, max). The park is very well cared for.
It has 2 entrances- the main entrance off Babcock & another off Fellsmere (east of I-95 & through North Country Regional Park).
Dog-friendliness: Dog-friendly, dogs must be on a 6-inch leash at the maximum. There are no off-leash dog areas in this park.

I would never come back. Stayed at the equestrian ranch camp. 8 am park authority knocks and said we can't be there. 2 reasons we pull our horses with an RV and absolutely no generators. There's no where in their website that says no generators anywhere. Does say small living quarters only. But I really had to look to find that. He was on an ego trip, rude and I'd never go back. He even argued with me about BLM land rules in Arizona. I wished we could have just got our money back and left. Trails aren't worth the time to ride. Mostly open trails with tractor marks that just destroyed the trails with huge ruts where rain water sat . Extremely wet which I have no problem riding in but when a tractor tears up and down it becomes very uneven and horses tripping in the water. Not to mention day use riders come and not once did they pick up after their horses. There is a manure bin beside stalls. We had manure 10' outside our RV door. The road into camp is very heavily trafficked with cars, hikers, bikers and joggers. Oh and don't forget there's a shooting range a mile away that sounds like fireworks all day. Poorly managed and not worth it in my opinion. This is the first campground review I've ever done that I wouldn't recommend.

Within the embrace of Sebastian State Park, where the river winds like a silver ribbon through the heart of Florida, one finds a sanctuary not just of nature, but of spirit. Here, as your paddle board glides over the gentle currents, or your kayak cuts a silent path through the water, you enter a realm where time seems to stand still, and the hustle of the world fades away, leaving only the rhythmic sound of water against hull.It is said by those who frequent these waters, and whispered among the leaves by the ancient oaks that watch over the river, that this place holds a magic of its own—a healing balm for weary souls. Each stroke through the water is a stroke towards inner peace, each mile floated a journey deeper into gratitude.To navigate the river is to engage in a silent dialogue with the essence of life itself, under the watchful gaze of egrets and herons. The sun, dappling through the canopy, casts a mosaic of light upon the water, illuminating not just the river, but something within the heart that perhaps we had forgotten or never knew was there.Sebastian State Park, with its serene beauty and tranquil waters, is more than a destination; it is an experience, a pilgrimage of sorts to the altar of nature's own cathedral. It reminds us that there are still sacred places in this world where one can go to heal, to reflect, and to be filled with a profound sense of gratitude for the simple, exquisite beauty of being alive.
