"Really cool to see. A must to go and experience the real cannons all over the fort. Living quarters are shown the way that they would have been used. Much more."
"Fantastic well preserved fort that is definitely worth a visit. Great rangers in character that add to the experience. Waaaaaay better than St Augustine. Go!"
"Nice staff, nice but pricey gift shop (as expected), the fort took us about 45 minutes to explore. Although it is relatively small with only a 5-6 buildings, there are lots of hidden places to explore. Try going down a brick tunnel and see where it takes you. You fill find winding stairs that take you to the top and little brick rooms. It feels like you are sneaking around but it’s totally allowed. The fort wasn’t very busy when we went on a weekend which was a nice suprise. They have bathrooms and $2 coffee. Admission to the park is $6 a car and then $2.50 per person for the actual fort. after you are fine I suggest you go the the beach part of the state park and take a walk for shells."
"The main attraction in this state park is fort clinch. There is an additional charge to visit the fort. There is a large parking lot located in the front of the state park. And restrooms as well. The fort takes about 1-2 hours to visit depending on your interest level."
"Very cool fort with nice views of the water and Cumberland Island, GA. It is like stepping back in time. They will hand you a paper guide so you can tell what you are looking at once inside the fort. Entry to the state park is $6 per vehicle. Entry to the fort is $2.50 per person."
