Camp Chowenwaw (Cho’-wen-waw), is a beautiful 150-acre site at the mouth of Black Creek, near its confluence with the St. Johns River. The Girl Scout Council of Duval County operated the site as a camp for over 70 years. The original cabins and the Big Cabin were built with federal aid using logs cut on site. The camp opened on July 1, 1933. Camp Chowenwaw has played an important role in the lives of three generations of young women in Northeast Florida. Thousands of campers have stayed at the Camp; many have gone on to be leaders in our community. In 2006, Clay County purchased the camp from the Girl Scouts of Gateway Council with assistance from Florida Communities Trust using Florida Forever funds. It is now a public park offering a variety of recreation including trails, camping and overnight cabins, nature programs, fishing pier, canoe launch, picnicking, swimming pool, museum, playground, and meeting rooms. The Park is managed as a conservation, historic preservation, and outdoor recreation area.

We just purchased our 33’ Salem travel trailer and we used Island Oaks as our shakedown trip. Honestly, its going to be hard to top this first trip. My Wife and I traveled with our 2 young children and our pup. We never had to leave the park, they had EVERYTHING. Heated resort pool with tiki pool bar & music, beach front lake with a massive inflatable obstacle course, an on-site restaurant & ice cream shop, not to mention multiple fenced dog parks. I cant say enough positives about this place! I chose a pull through site and it had sewage, water, & electrical hook ups. They do offer free Wifi, however I would not rely on it, it was spotty at best. Dont think twice. Give this resort a try. It’s a hidden gem in the middle of nowhere!

I tried to get reservations on the state park website and kept getting an error message. On further investigation it appears they closed in Feb 2024 because of erosion. I'll keep checking and will update this review if/when they reopen.

This is public park. So not only campers allowed in. Nice campground. Very private sites. Lots of things to keep busy. Bathroom ammeties need to be updated. Unfortunately, they have a problem with the homeless stalking camps day and night. We noticed several people roaming around that didn't look to be camping or there for the day. Had a bike stolen from our site at 7 in the morning while we were in our camper. Very unsettling to know you are being stalked, especially with children... Homeless camp less than a mile away. We will not be returning.

First time using a military campground. Neat concrete pads for pull through or back in RVs. Nice community building with nice showers and a huge laundromat. Some sites overlook a small lake.
Scout
Camp sites are very nice. It’s right across the street from the beach. The problem I had was for the price you would think the bath houses would be I better condition. I guess they were clean but in such bad condition I couldn’t be sure.

Beautiful place, nothing to complain about
ScoutI have stay at Island Oaks several times and we love it We had some issue when first stayed but I chalked that up to a teaching lesson. Now I have 30 amp extension and a longer 50 amp power cord. Yes it is a dry county on Sunday but that’s only one day. You will not be disappointed to stay there. They also have live music on Saturday and so far it’s never been disappointing You will enjoy it.
TravelerThe lush tropical vegetation and nearby incredible beaches, trails and other facilities, plus the welcoming, professional staff make Hanna Park a GREAT experience. What an amazing asset for the City of Jacksonville! This was our 3rd visit, and we stayed 3 nights -- now we hope for more time on our next visit! The website is informative and includes good descriptions of each campsite to assist in making reservations. The campground is clean, quiet and relaxing. Our campsite was level, private and convenient. Be sure to stroll on the beaches at sunset!
GuideSites here have a good amount of shade which is great for summers in Florida. Check-in process is easy and park is clean and quiet. Close to beach and trails. A little bit of an obstacle course for bigger RVs with all the trees and narrow roads. This particular site is a little odd shaped. We have a 34' TT so I think a smaller rig would have an easier time setting up and more room. Even the 40' sites on this loop seem a little more narrow than our last one we stayed in between D and E. I would stay within those sites next time but still not a bad visit.

This review is for CRSP Cottage 10, a 2 bedroom, 4 bed, 1 bath, pet friendly house down a quiet road within the park. The park staff at the gift shop were very kind and engaged. They collected our balance and $50.00 pet fee there. Not all cottages are pet friendly. Cottage 10 is...so plan ahead! Despite that, there was 0 smell when we entered the cottage. It was very clean! Exceptional view of Crooked River! Our family of four loved s’mores under the stars and twisted coastal trees. There is a jumbo picnic table and fire pit. Carrying meals out was no issue and so much less exhausting than cooking on the Coleman stove and dealing with gear and tents. That’s also a fun experience, but coming back to AC and a private bathroom after a full day of hiking Cumberland Island is worth the nightly price tag. One day it poured. We comfortably watched the storm from the cozy screened-in porch. The kitchen is well stocked, minus a cutting board. No biggie. Made do. I always travel with a reliable and sharpened kitchen knife, kitchen scissors, and my trusty cast iron pan. But I was surprised to find supplies at the cottage like paper towels, toilet paper, and dish washer pods. The beds are comfortable and the linens and towels are clean and plentiful. It was a great experience and we would love to return.

This is an excellent place to pitch a tent and spend time in nature without traveling far. Great hiking trails and the Pelicer Creek is available for fishing. Bring a kayak.
The camp sites are huge. The tent sites are elevated which should help keep the soil dryer in case of rain.
Keep in mind that there is no water available at the camping sites or the entire park for that matter. Potable or non potable so you have to bring in all drinking water and water for washing dishes if you plan on doing some cleanup. Also, there are bathrooms but they’re pretty far. The campsites do have nearby porta potties.
GuideThe camp is located in a great location between the beach and the river. There are many shaded camping spots. The showers/restrooms were a little dated but clean. Easy check-in process including an after hours check-in. Camp is set up well to make it easy to navigate and get set up. We will definitely stay here again and highly recommend to others. There are two restaurants within walking distance as well.
RangerAwesome city campground in Jax Beach. Lots of trees and natural camp sites. One of our new fav places to stay. Quiet and relaxing.
Full hook ups (electric/water/sewer). Close to park beaches and lake. Nature trails nearby for walking or biking. Large camp store and food truck near front.
Sites and roads due flood in heavy rains (see pics), so try to find some that are on higher ground or at least run off the back of the site instead of flooding in front of it.
GuideThe beach is biking or walking distance! We caught the sunrise, so beautiful. The park just keeps going with many beach pull offs. The sites are close together, but campers are respectful and the staff were so helpful in booking our same day reservation. Great for the price, with electric and water hookups.

GuideWe had a great time here with friends and one of our grandsons. Site 50 is completely private and plenty big enough for our camper, truck, gazelle and dog pen. Only negative is all the sites are dirt, including the roads so you will have dirt and dust. For the price they charge, I would like to see all the sites with gravel but the dirt won’t keep us away! Going for a full week next month!
TravelerWith almost 300 sites this is a very busy Park. Its close to City of Jacksonville so gets a LOT of campers. The campground has very close-by access to miles of beautiful ocean-front beaches that we enjoyed fully! There are also lots of biking and hiking trails. Some sites are more level than others, and sizes vary as well. Also some sites have more privacy provided by the lush vegetation. (Park website has some description on each site to help with selection.) Access through the campground gate requires a special punch-in code so that adds a level of security.
We stopped overnight as a break from driving I-95, and the main negative was the distance and urban traffic to reach the Park. The campground has narrow 2-way access roads to the sites which must be a challenge for the big rigs.
We stayed in sites 026 and 174, on February 9 and February 23. Our nights were peaceful except for a heavy wind and rain storm.
We would stay again!
RangerWe stayed here only one night but loved it and will return. Campground is beautiful, nestled into lush tropical greenery with good privacy between sites. Lots of hiking and off-rad hiking trails through the greenery. And… just steps to the Atlantic ocean, with dogs welcome on the beach. We were here in early February and almost no one on the beach. Beautiful!!! Looking forward to coming back another time!
LegendCrooked River is a beautiful park! Big sites, huge pull thrus, some have FHU. Lots of walking, and biking. Sites are gravel and very level. Clean restrooms, showers, and laundry. Good size store. Has putt putt, boat ramps, and trees. Very quiet and friendly hosts. Firewood is $9 bundle, but 10 pieces. .75 cubic foot. GREAT place. Some sites have water view.
ScoutThis place needs some serious work. I am struggling to see why there is only one bathroom for 300 campsites, why none of the hand dryers work, the water is beyond cold, and then the roads for the lake are absolutely mangled. This place is extremely busy and should easily have the funds to maintain their facilities. I would highly advise people to stay away from here.
ScoutCampsites are clean, showers/restrooms are very clean and the water is hot. Lots of things to do and beach access.
GuideMy 1st trip here did NOT disappoint! Large sites & lots of trees/shade. There are also big cottages in the back to rent. Very friendly staff & the river is beautiful. Tons of walking & golf cart trails. Paved roads & doggy stations. The sites have lots of room & a fire ring & picnic table. There are two playgrounds for people with kids & the birdwatching was incredible & I’m not even into that. Nice little store for essentials. Definitely will return.
ScoutAwesome, private beach, with tons of little spots to hang out and swim near. The Beachwood is fun to climb also!
GuideOur tow vehicle broke down 4 days before our scheduled arrival, stranding us until it would be ready. We called to change our dates and were told we would lose our deposit and have to make a new reservation. The deposit would not be applied to a new reservation, it would be lost. When we asked for an exception under these unexpected circumstances(particularly because we still planned to stay with them for the same amount of time, just later when our truck was repaired), we were told that they only make exceptions for hurricanes and that we agreed to these terms& conditions when we made our reservation. I said that we didn't know when we made the reservation that our truck would break down and have no way to get there. The woman hung up on me. My subsequent email pleading for an exception went unanswered.
In 8 months of full-timing, we have not encountered such a strict, intractable policy or a more rude, less empathetic person. Just like the people at North Beach, I'm also a business owner so I definitely understand the need to protect one's bottom line, but unlike North Beach, I also understand the value of a little kindness, understanding, and just basic customer service.
TravelerWe enjoyed our weekend! Walked to the beach in the morning for the sunrise and walked to the dock at the resort for sunset! The campsites were nice, but there are no fire pits or ground fires allowed.

We stopped for one night from our trip from Orlando to Tallahassee. Super friendly team members. Close to downtown. Amenities were very clean and easy to find. We don’t own an RV but we are so happy to find this place and definitely would return. Thank you Vickie for all the help with booking.

I’m not a big fan of KOA, but for a quick stop when traveling they are like McDonalds. You know what you will get most of the time . We stopped for 2 nights on our way to Key West. It’s a large campground, in the middle of town. There is some traffic noise from A1A, but a stop mall between the campground and road keeps it to a minimum. It’s only 1 Mike from Saint Augustine Beach, with a large FREE parking lot. Beach is dog friendly, there is a pier, and several restaurants nearby. Also close to the Castillo de San Marco and historic sites in Saint Augustine
