Festival

Camp Helen State Park invites you to go beyond your park visit, joining Park Ranger staff for a nature hike on Camp Helen's user-friendly trail system, and learn about the park's flora and fauna and the larger ecosystem of the Florida Panhandle. The hike is great for all experience levels and requires moderate endurance.

The Oak Canopy and North trails have a combination of paved, sand and packed-earth terrain. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes, and bring a water bottle, sunscreen and bug repellent, as well as your adventurous spirit. 

Camp Helen State Park invites you to go beyond your park visit, and discover the past and present, on a ranger guided walking tour where you can learn about the rich history of Camp Helen’s Historic District. Led by informative and entertaining rangers, you will discover and connect with the history that literally surrounds Camp Helen State Park, a Nationally Registered Historic Place.

IMPORTANT FESTIVAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Sandestin Wine Festival 2020
We are disappointed to announce the cancellation of the 2020 Sandestin Wine Festival. The well-being of our guests, community, volunteers, and staff is important and in light of the continued uncertainty and potential health risks by COVID-19, the annual festival, originally scheduled for April 16-19, will no longer take place. This was a tough decision, but with the national and state recommendations to not hold large scale events, we believe this is the correct choice.
