      Okefenokee Pastimes Cabins and Campground

      Quiet, close to okefenokee wildlife refuge

      Located right across George Highway 23 from the entrance to the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, this is easy access to the facilities at the refuge. Most sites are full hook up, several are pull through. There is a laundry, showers, a dog park, camp store and restaurant. This is a Good Sam park !

      Jacksonville North-St. Marys KOA

      Safe, friendly staff

      Easy in & out location. Wooded throughout. Full hookup pull thru sites available & they even have “paw pen” sites with private fenced areas for dogs. Very friendly staff. Right off of the highway so you can hear traffic if you’re outside but not inside. Little store with the basics. Doggy poo stations throughout. Cute pool with a waterfall & slide. Small playground and dog park.

      Pelican Roost RV Park

      Nice Military CG

      Really enjoyed our 10 day stay. Concrete pad was level making set up quick and easy. Great water pressure. Free washers and dryers. Beach is a short walk and is beautiful. Our dogs enjoyed the fenced dog park. Loved watching the ships come in and out. Everyone we met were so friendly. Would definitely stay again.

      This RV park is in a great location near the outlet malls. All sites were pull through gravel full hook ups. For as crowded as the place was it was very quiet. There is a dog park and a basketball court.

    Guide to Bryceville

    Bryceville, Florida offers campers access to pine forests and wetlands across northeastern Florida's coastal plain. The area sits at a modest elevation of 20-30 feet above sea level with a humid subtropical climate. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F with high humidity while winter nights can drop to the 40s, creating varied camping conditions throughout the year.

    What to do

    Horseback riding trails: Jennings State Forest provides accessible equestrian paths through pine flatwoods. "Jennings is a quiet hiking area with hammock camping and regular camping. There are many well marked trails that run through the site as well as a fishing area and grills near the parking lot," notes Sean B. from Jennings State Forest Hammock Campground.

    Mountain biking: Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park offers challenging off-road cycling opportunities within 30 minutes of Bryceville. "Lots of hiking and off-rad hiking trails through the greenery. And… just steps to the Atlantic ocean, with dogs welcome on the beach," writes Kathy L. about the park's diverse terrain.

    Fishing in managed lakes: Island Oaks RV Resort maintains stocked fishing lakes with equipment available. "They did have a variety of paddle boats and kayaks around for free use. During the summer months, they have a floating obstacle course that looks like a lot of fun," reports Robert V. from Island Oaks RV Resort.

    What campers like

    Privacy between sites: At Cary State Forest, the natural vegetation provides seclusion. "Sites are spread out and HUGE!! Several trails and plenty of room for kids to play on site!!!" explains David S. from Cary State Forest Campground.

    Convenient highway access: For travelers passing through the area, Big Tree RV Park offers practical overnight accommodations. "This was a perfect stopping point on our way to the southwest coast of Florida as it was directly on our travel path and very reasonable in pricing," shares Robert L. This location provides easy interstate access while maintaining reasonable rates.

    Swimming options: Flamingo Lake RV Resort features a swimming lake with recreational equipment. "The clear water of the lake and the tranquil atmosphere may this campground a great place to camp any time of year. The activities keep you busy and the lake and pool offer options for relaxing," describes Cathy D. from Flamingo Lake RV Resort.

    What you should know

    Seasonal insect preparation: While the existing description mentions yellow flies, other insects require attention too. "TAKE BUG REPELLENT... MOSQUITOES ARE BAD," warns Robert L. about Cary State Forest. Planning trips during cooler months (November-March) can reduce insect encounters.

    Limited cell coverage: Dense tree canopy can affect connectivity in some areas. "Almost no internet coverage due to the canopy cover," reports Elizabeth E. about Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park. Download maps and information before arriving at more remote sites.

    Electrical reliability issues: Some campgrounds experience occasional infrastructure challenges. "When we arrived and hooked up the 30amp breaker kept flipping. We had just left crooked river and hadn't had any issues," shares Hayley S. about Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park. Bringing a surge protector is advisable.

    Tips for camping with families

    Free breakfast options: Some commercial campgrounds provide morning meals. "Free breakfast and super friendly staff. Would stay there again in a heart beat!" writes Sherrie K. about Jacksonville North-St. Marys KOA, which offers complimentary waffles and pancakes.

    Kid-friendly water activities: Several campgrounds provide water recreation specifically designed for children. "We had a great time. They have a lot of things for the kids to do such as swimming, water slide, playground, mini golf," notes Kelsey from Jacksonville North-St. Marys KOA.

    Nature education opportunities: Plan day trips to nearby wildlife areas. "We drove to the Okefenokee Swamp (about 30 minutes away) and spent a good part of the day touring the facility and learning a lot about alligators," shares Susan R. This provides educational experiences for children between camping activities.

    Tips from RVers

    Extension cord requirements: At newer facilities, hookup placement may require additional equipment. "Most of the first sites installed have the electrical and sewer hookups positioned towards the front of the pads. Clearly an oversight in the development of the sites," explains Brooke from Island Oaks RV Resort. Bringing extension cords and hoses can prevent installation problems.

    Level sites importance: CrossLake RV Park offers reliably level camping spots. "Very peaceful park with beautiful views and extremely helpful staff!! Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting a peaceful, secluded stay while still being minutes away from everything," reports Cavelle R. from CrossLake RV Park.

    Pet-friendly camping options: Many campgrounds near Bryceville welcome dogs with dedicated facilities. "They have dog walking bag stations with trash cans," notes Kurtess R. about Flamingo Lake RV Resort. This amenity proves particularly helpful for RVers traveling with pets who need regular exercise.
