What to do
Swimming in spring-fed lakes: Island Oaks RV Resort features both a fishing lake and a swimming lake with a clay bottom. "The swimming lake is a clay bottom so it's very murky. Didn't seem to bother kids," notes one visitor.
Water activities for children: Flamingo Lake RV Resort offers inflatable water slides and play equipment in their lake. "Flamingo lake is a blast, most notably for the inflatable slides. The kids go absolutely crazy and can't get enough of the water park area," writes Sean B.
Star gazing in dark skies: Okefenokee Pastimes Cabins and Campground turns off all lights at night to preserve visibility. "Pastimes actually has a policy where they turn off all their lights at night so as not to contribute to light pollution and to preserve the most amazing star-gazing experiences," reports Stuart K.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: The Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge entrance sits directly across from Okefenokee Pastimes. "Plenty to do across the street at the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. Little over 7mi. loop for driving, biking and/or walking. Trails for hiking or canoeing," explains Rob D.
What campers like
Live entertainment options: Island Oaks RV Resort schedules regular performances. "I have stay at Island Oaks several times and we love it... They also have live music on Saturday and so far it's never been disappointing," says Victor D.
On-site dining facilities: Multiple campgrounds offer food service with varying quality. "What really set this RV park apart was its restaurant and bar. We had the wings two nights in a row they were so good! They also offered a good selection of pizza, burgers, sandwiches, and appetizers," notes Robert V. about Island Oaks.
Themed social events: Seasonal activities provide opportunities to meet other campers. "Events are planned several times a month. With a mix of full, part-time, and temporary guests all invited," explains Jeffrey P. at Kelly's Countryside RV Park.
Dog-friendly amenities: Several parks offer designated areas for pets. "Clean dog parks (two) with agility course near the front entrance," reports Taylor D. about Pecan Park RV Resort.
What you should know
Airport noise affects some parks: Pecan Park RV Resort sits near Jacksonville Airport. "Park is large clean and well maintained, great dog park, pool, very close to I95. One exit down has a ton of shopping and places to eat. Airport very close so be ready to hear plains landing everyday," warns T S.
Alcohol restrictions vary by location: Some campgrounds have limited alcohol sales. "NO LIQUIR SALES ON SUNDAY. So don't count on having fun at the Tiki bar if you are staying on Sunday evening," cautions Kristen S. about Island Oaks.
Neighborhood safety concerns: Some campgrounds are in areas where caution is advised. "The part that we didn't like was the side of town The Flamingo Resort is on a dangerous city, the Walmart was not safe at night. So it's good as long as you stay in the gated rv resort," advises Kurtess R.
Extended stay options: Kelly's Countryside RV Park caters to longer-term visitors. "3/4s of the way through the 2nd winter with Patty and her crew. The campground is very well kept. All issues are addressed immediately," reports Jeffrey P.
Tips for camping with families
Look for dedicated children's areas: Flamingo Lake has specialized facilities for young visitors. "The sites are packed and close together but the amenities and incredible water slides make up for it," notes Jenn B.
Consider parks with multiple recreational options: CrossLake RV Park features water features and expanding amenities. "There's about 20-30 sites, they aren't cramped and they offer full hookups. The rest of the campgrounds is under construction, looks like they are building a bunch of back in sites around a small lake," describes Nicole C.
Check campground rules about children: Some parks have specific policies about children and additional fees. "After looking more closely at the rules they allow 2 adults and 1 child, so they should have actually charged me $20 for 2 additional children," warns Tiffany H. about Okefenokee Pastimes.
Evaluate bathroom cleanliness for family use: Well-maintained facilities make family stays more comfortable. "The bathhouses were clean and well maintained. The one we used has 4 stalls to it all with a private bathroom and shower in one," describes Ashley W. at Pecan Park RV Resort.
Tips from RVers
Verify hookup placement before arrival: Some RV parks have poorly designed utility connections. "When they designed the park, the hook ups are on the wrong side of the spots. We needed 50 feet and our friends 80 feet of sewage hook ups! The sewer connection is not sink and does not drain properly," warns Kristen S. about Island Oaks.
Bring extension cords and sewer hoses: Several campgrounds require longer connections than standard. "If staying in the front section of the resort be sure to have extra sewer line and power cord extension," advises dean G. about Island Oaks.
Consider site location relative to amenities: Big Tree RV Park offers basic but functional sites. "This campground was close to freeway access, had pull-thru camping sites, and nice shade. We stayed here a week while visiting family and liked this campground," reports Mary M.
Expect variable internet connectivity: WiFi quality differs significantly between parks. "They do provide WIFI but from my experience, it was not too reliable and we opted for using our mobile hotspot. We have AT&T, the 5G signal was great, and were able to get 60 - 90 Mbps down with our hotspot," shares Robert V. about Island Oaks.
