Be advised that this park is on Mayport Naval Station, so you will need proper military ID to access the base.
We are tent campers, and stayed in the tent area Fri-Mon over Labor Day.
The tent area is just that, and area. No designated spots, no fire rings, and no picnic tables. There was one table in the middle of the area and one water spigot for all to use. The area is shaded nicely and there is usually a breeze blowing in. When the breeze stopped, it was quite warm, even at night.
The park is mainly long term rv’ers with huge campers. The rv spots have little to no shade.
The staff was friendly, and called us while we were driving down, to get our ETA.
The grounds were well kept, even though Saturday and Sunday mornings, they were mowing at 8am.
The only dumpster we saw was about 1/4 mile from the tent sites. There is a big dog park across the street from the the rv park, and a nice beach about 1/2 mile away.
There is a PX about 1/2 mile away, the main exchange and commissary are off base a few miles from the main gate.
The bathrooms were clean, and had plenty of hot water. The park also has a laundry room next to the bathrooms.
Overall a very nice park, and we will definitely go back. We will be more prepared next time, knowing there are no fire pits or picnic tables in the tent area. Can’t beat the price of $10/night for that view.
