John W.ScoutJacksonville North-St. Marys KOA
Not up to KOA standards
I have been a KOA member for more than 20 years and have generally had very good experiences. Unfortunately, this particular KOA was a major disappointment. My wife and I brought our two grandkids on an eight-day trip and specifically chose this campground because of several advertised amenities: a pool with a slide, a game room, and a DVD player in the deluxe cabin. We paid more than$900 for our stay. When I booked, the campground disclosed that it was undergoing water and sewer upgrades and warned guests to expect construction and possible“brief water/power interruptions.” That seemed reasonable, and I had no problem with it. Unfortunately, what we encountered went well beyond a brief interruption. The DVD player in our cabin did not work. I reported it to the office and was told the owner would be notified and someone would get back to me. No one ever did. We then received a text stating that the pool slide was not operating because of electrical upgrades. When we went to use the pool anyway, there was a considerable amount of debris that looked like dirt floating in the water, and the surface underneath the water was badly peeling. My grandkids didn't want to get in. We tried the game room next. It had no electricity, none of the games were operating, there was no air conditioning, and the room was extremely hot. At that point, we decided to leave and find a hotel that actually had the amenities we had expected. For a little over$100 per night, we found a very nice hotel and stayed there instead. We returned to the campground the following Saturday for our final night, and unfortunately, the same issues were still present. In the end, we used only three of the eight nights we paid for. I understand that construction and upgrades have to happen. What I don't think is reasonable is continuing to advertise amenities such as a pool slide and game room when they are going to be unavailable for an extended period, while still charging guests the full rate. A warning about possible“brief water/power interruptions” did not accurately describe what we experienced. After returning home, I contacted the KOA. I made it clear that I was not asking for a refund for the three nights we actually stayed there. Since one night was already planned for a hotel in Orlando, I simply requested a partial refund or other reasonable adjustment for the four unused nights after we left because the advertised amenities were unavailable or unusable. I even offered to provide our hotel receipts. I have received no response from the campground's management. That may be the most disappointing part of the experience. After more than 20 years as a KOA member, I expected at least the courtesy of a response. I chose this campground because I trusted the KOA name and wanted my grandkids to enjoy the amenities that were advertised. Unfortunately, they were probably the most disappointed of all. Hopefully this helps others considering staying here. Based on our experience, this campground did not meet the KOA standards I have come to expect over the past 20+ years.

Already planning to return, but a couple of catches
I stayed here six nights and already planning to book again for next year. Incredibly friendly staff, lovely beach, pretty salt marsh and because there isn't much else to do, doesn't get overrun by kids or idiots. Clean bathrooms.
The campground is across a busy street from the park/beach, you must check in before office closes on arrival date, but then you get a gate code for 24 hour access- including beach permission, which is exclusive to campers after hours.
There's no crosswalk and it's about a 15 minute walk to the beach, if you want to be closer to the ocean or have limited mobility, Ft. Clinch to the north is a better bet. There are also like four parks in between that are dog friendly.
All sites are close to bathrooms. The ones by the marsh have nice sunset views. The ADA lots are paved concrete, others are gravel.
Contrary to the Dyrt listing, cell service isn't great. I had no Verizon and, based on this listing, bought an ATT SIM, which got me two LTE bars and once in a while one 5G. Enough to browse a little, but not work or streaming.

The campground is very family friendly. Facilities are dated but very clean and well maintained. Staff were very friendly. WIFI was useless we had to Hotspot off our phones. ATT phone service was decent. Sites a re close together but everyone was friendly and quiet.

This campground is loaded- beach access, lakeside location, hiking & biking trails. Site 57 is lush, level and private on 3 out 4 sides. We absolutely loved it!

We enjoyed our stay in the peaceful Florida woods. The songbirds and other sounds of the forest really help you emerge into nature.

After hours
Try to get here before 5 if u can , the road does a complete circle so I just kept driving till I found the campground which is at the farthest point of the island, our name was in the reservation list for after hours, looks like a great place
Greg M.GuideLittle Talbot Island State Park Campground
Solid campsite
Nice campsite, clean bathrooms and showers, I was at site #1 which was close to the bathrooms but it was on the outer edge so you got a decent view of the sunset which made it worth it. There is no longer a washer and dryer which were shown in previous reviews.
Guide to Fernandina Beach
Fort Clinch State Park encompasses two distinct campgrounds on Amelia Island, with the Atlantic Beach loop offering 42 sites within 200 yards of the ocean and the River Campground featuring 21 sites under oak canopies. Temperatures remain moderate year-round, with summer highs averaging 90°F and winter lows rarely dropping below 45°F. The campgrounds connect to 6.5 miles of multi-use trails through maritime hammocks where campers often encounter deer, raccoons, and various bird species.
What to do
Beach exploring at Fort Clinch State Park: Visit the secluded beaches where shark teeth hunting is popular. "We toured the fort, hiked some trails, went to the beach and saw lots of deer. It was a great weekend getaway!" says Art L. The park combines natural beach access with historic sites.
Kayaking tidal waters: Launch from boat ramps at Little Talbot Island State Park to explore the diverse ecosystem. "Bring your canoe or kayak and watch the tides. Visit Boneyard beach a short drive away," recommends Kandi G. The park has multiple launch points directly accessible from camping areas.
Bicycle touring: Ride the paved 4-mile Timucuan Trail that runs parallel to A1A. "Miles of biking/hiking trails at this park. Great quick getaway for those living in the Jacksonville metro area," shares Chad P. about Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park. Many parks offer bike rentals with hourly, half-day, and full-day rates.
What campers like
Secluded waterfront sites: The River Campground at Fort Clinch State Park offers premium waterfront camping. "We get a campsite on the river side which offers bigger spots and shade. The river side offers the most beautiful sunsets and lots of dolphins," notes Maethea R. These sites typically book 11 months in advance.
Clean facilities: Campers consistently praise the bathhouse maintenance across area campgrounds. "The bathrooms are the best of any campsite I've gone to. The bathrooms are very clean and air conditioned," shares Maethea R. about Fort Clinch State Park.
Stargazing opportunities: Crooked River State Park offers exceptional night sky viewing with minimal light pollution. "Unlike many other campgrounds that are well lit, Pastimes actually has a policy where they turn off all their lights at night so as not to contribute to light pollution," explains a reviewer at nearby Okefenokee Pastimes. Several campgrounds in the area host seasonal astronomy programs.
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds in the area require advance booking, especially during peak seasons. Fort Clinch campsites often book up 11 months ahead for summer and holidays. "Must reserve online, rangers are only able to book same day reservations," advises Crystal M.
Bug protection essential: Insect repellent is necessary year-round but critical in warmer months. "Mosquitos at night here will eat you alive. Lots of canopy cover keeps everything really, really humid. They provide sawdust for free because the ground gets soft," notes Elizabeth E. about Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park.
Site limitations: Many campgrounds have compact sites that challenge larger RVs. "Sites are very small and roads through campground are very narrow and curvy. Great for tents and small RV's," explains Jessie T. about Little Talbot Island State Park. Always check site dimensions before booking.
Tips for camping with families
Group camping options: Jacksonville North-St. Marys KOA offers family-friendly amenities and organized activities. "We had so much fun camping here for the weekend with our family. Very clean with lots of fun activities like mini golf, pool, jumping pad and a dog run for your pet," shares Susan R. The KOA also serves complimentary breakfast.
Educational programs: Many state parks offer ranger-led nature programs specifically designed for children. "The rangers were excellent during the nature education. We truly enjoyed touching and learning about local wildlife. While exploring, we even found a new turtle nest!" recounts Tiffany C. from Crooked River State Park.
Water recreation for kids: Multiple parks feature swimming areas with child-friendly water features. "The clear water of the lake and the inflatable slides. The kids go absolutely crazy and can't get enough of the water park area," notes Sean B. about Flamingo Lake RV Resort. Most water activities run from April through October.
Tips from RVers
Site selection for larger rigs: Careful site selection is crucial for larger RVs and fifth wheels. "When you come in, they give you your site number and a convoluted map no direction at all. Mine was on a curve from the road," warns Darren F. about Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park. Many parks have virtual campground maps that show actual site dimensions.
Full hookup availability: Crooked River State Park offers the most comprehensive RV hookups. "Large well maintained campground. All sites are large, well maintained and site specific. Many have full hook ups," explains Cathy C. Many campsites offer 50-amp service with water and sewer connections.
Yurt camping near Fernandina Beach, Florida: For those seeking yurt accommodations near Fernandina Beach, Jekyll Island Campground offers rustic yet comfortable options. "Surrounded by nature. Lots of trees everywhere. They tuck the sites among the trees," describes Mary G. Yurt rentals typically include beds, electricity, and covered decks at prices starting around $75 per night.
