Island Oaks RV Resort in Glen St. Mary provides full-service RV camping with 50-amp electrical hookups, water, and sewer connections on level sites. The resort features a heated swimming pool, lake access with a floating obstacle course, and multiple dog parks for pet owners. "We just purchased our 33' Salem travel trailer and we used Island Oaks as our shakedown trip. My Wife and I traveled with our 2 young children and our pup. We never had to leave the park, they had EVERYTHING," noted one visitor. Flamingo Lake RV Resort in Jacksonville offers similar amenities with lakefront RV sites, full hookups, and paved level pads that accommodate rigs up to 40 feet with slide-outs. Lake City RV Resort, approximately 20 miles west of Sanderson, provides big-rig friendly spaces with electric, sewer, and water hookups in a less resort-style setting.
RV campgrounds near Sanderson are accessible from major highways, with Island Oaks conveniently located off I-75 and Flamingo Lake easily accessible from I-95. Cell service varies by location and carrier, with one reviewer noting, "We have AT&T, the 5G signal was great, and were able to get 60-90 Mbps down with our hotspot." Several parks offer amenities specifically for longer-term stays, including laundry facilities, propane fill stations, and on-site stores. Most RV sites in the area remain open year-round due to Florida's favorable climate, though reservations are recommended during winter months when seasonal visitors increase occupancy rates. Dump stations are available at most parks, with premium sites typically including sewer hookups directly at each pad.

Stacey R.GuideCary State Forest Campground
Private site with thoughtful amenities
The six sites available are spread out in the Cary State Forest. You can see the tops of some RV’s but they’re not close. The site has a very nice picnic table, fire pit,benches around the fire pit, a free standing grill, water, electric and a concrete pad to park on with a tent site behind the pad. Grass is freshly cut and the site is clean!

Thrown out with no warning and no refund
I organized a group camping weekend here October 2 to 4, 2026. My group booked and paid for more than a dozen campsites and approximately 40 people, all next to each other, so the people around my site were my own friends. On Saturday afternoon we were sitting in our chairs when a security officer walked up and demanded that I lower my music. Nobody refused. I was turning it down as I explained that the music was for my whole group and that the neighbors around us were all our people. I also asked who had complained. Instead of answering, he snapped,"You do what I said and turn the music down." I told him I already had. With no attempt to calm things down, he shouted that we were out of there and had 30 minutes to pack up and leave. Nobody in my group raised a voice or got hostile. We were polite and we complied, and we were still treated like criminals. When we went to the front desk to report how he had behaved, the clerk made it clear that our whole group was the issue and that they were watching us and that I had to leave. That told me this was never about one speaker or lowering the music. We were singled out while other groups were left alone. I even heard from others that were allowed to stay, that they heard Spanish music blasting at 1am AFTER QUIET HOURS! So, why were we kicked out? Discrimination! No refund was offered. They kept our money for a stay they cut short. We have held several events here over the years, about 8 visits in the last three years. There will be ZERO in the future. The springs are beautiful, but the way security and the front desk treat paying guests is not. My group is taking our events and our money somewhere else!

LegendNorth Florida Christian Camp
Faith, Fellowship and Fresh Air
Tucked away just outside Keystone Heights, North Florida Christian Camp feels like a place designed more for connection than convenience, where winding sandy roads lead you beneath tall pines and into a peaceful, purpose driven setting that immediately feels set apart from the everyday rush. The campground sits on a large, wooded property with a mix of open gathering spaces and shaded pockets, and while it is primarily designed for organized church groups and retreats, individual campers can still find a quiet place to land among the trees. The overall vibe is relaxed, intentional, and grounded in simplicity, with nature doing most of the heavy lifting.
Facilities here are more functional than flashy, with a combination of cabins, bunkhouses, and open camping areas alongside basic bathhouses, communal gathering pavilions, and activity fields. You will not find resort style amenities, but you will find clean, usable facilities, wide open space for kids to run, and a layout that encourages group activities, campfires, and shared meals. The grounds are easy to navigate, and while RV hookups may be limited depending on where you stay, the setting works well for families who are comfortable with a more rustic, community-oriented experience.
The surrounding area offers a nice balance of quiet nature and small town convenience, with Keystone Heights just a short drive away for groceries, fuel and casual dining. Hitchcock’s Market is a reliable stop for supplies, and local favorites like Cedar River Seafood provide an easy, family friendly meal after a day outdoors. Nearby lakes and trails give you opportunities for paddling, fishing, or simply stretching your legs under the Florida sky, making it easy to build a full day without ever straying too far.
Insider’s tips? Here’s a handful: (1) The best camping areas are those set slightly deeper into the pines where you will find more shade and a bit more privacy from larger group spaces; (2) If visiting during a scheduled retreat or camp week, expect more activity and less solitude, so plan accordingly; (3) Bring bikes or scooters for kids, as the open grounds and sandy roads are perfect for riding; (4) Pack bug spray, especially in warmer months, as the wooded setting can bring out mosquitoes at dusk; and (5) If you are seeking a quieter experience, aim for midweek stays outside of peak group bookings.
Happy Camping!

The park is said to have had damage from a storm. It is a very nice campground but seems to need attention with the bathhouse facilities. They are cleaned but dated with some nonworking fixtures. Drought is very evident at the river. I believe this could be a high rated place with some investment.
Rusty R.GuideIsland Oaks RV Resort
Beautiful Park with fun amenities!
This is an RV resort, I was only there for an overnight but definitely a place to bring the family! They had a cool beach pond, pool, bar/grill, as well as very clean shower and laundry. They do allow custom built RVs as along as your power, water, and sewer are all self contained and hook to their standard systems. I will definitely be back for a longer stay!

Very nice KoA for a night or a season
Friendly staff. Clean campground. Some pull-thrus. Not gated. We have stayed here multiple times in our 40' motorhome with slides on both sides plus our Jeep. No problems. Recommended
Guide to Sanderson
RV sites near Sanderson, Florida provide access to the area's wetland ecosystems and forested camping areas across northeastern Florida. Most campgrounds in this region sit at elevations between 100-150 feet above sea level, with typically sandy soils that drain quickly after rainfall. Summer temperatures regularly reach above 90°F with high humidity, while winter nights can occasionally drop below freezing during December through February.
What to do
Waterpark activities at the lake: At Island Oaks RV Resort, campers can enjoy a swimming lake with recreational features. "Tons of amenities and lots of activities for the kids and full bar for the adults!" noted one visitor. The lake includes paddle boats and kayaks for free use during your stay.
State park exploration: Located approximately 60 miles from Sanderson, Ichetucknee Springs offers excellent day trip options with natural springs and river tubing. A visitor to Moonshine Acres RV Park mentions, "If you're bringing a bicycle or just want to run or walk, you can use the O'Leno to Ichetucknee Trail in either direction." This park is just 3 miles from the south entrance of Ichetucknee Springs.
Bird watching and wildlife viewing: The wetland ecosystems surrounding many camping areas provide excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. One camper at Okefenokee Pastimes Cabins and Campground recommends, "Take the sunset boat ride…totally worth it!" for spotting wildlife in the nearby swamp.
What campers like
Onsite dining options: Many campers appreciate not having to cook every meal. A reviewer at Island Oaks RV Resort mentioned, "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."
Clean facilities: Consistently maintained bathhouses rank high on camper satisfaction. At Moonshine Acres RV Park, a guest noted, "This campground is located 5 mins from the gates of Ichetucknee State Park. The owners are very nice and very attentive. The sites are large with both pull thru and back in."
Recreation amenities: Campgrounds with multiple recreation options receive positive feedback. One visitor to Lake City RV Resort shared, "Fun outdoor games including human foosball. Heavily shaded under tall pines." Many campgrounds offer game rooms, sports courts, and organized activities that provide entertainment without leaving the property.
What you should know
Hookup positioning issues: Some RV sites have unusual utility placement. At Flamingo Lake RV Resort, campers should check site layouts before arrival. Similarly, at Island Oaks RV Resort, one camper warned, "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!"
Limited cellular service: Mobile coverage can be spotty depending on your carrier and specific location. While some campgrounds offer WiFi, reliability varies. Check with the campground office regarding your specific carrier's coverage or plan to disconnect during your stay.
County alcohol regulations: Baker County (where Sanderson is located) has restrictions on alcohol sales. A visitor to Island Oaks RV Resort pointed out, "Yes it is a dry county on Sunday but that's only one day." Plan accordingly if this affects your camping plans.
Tips for camping with families
Water recreation options: Families with children particularly enjoy campgrounds with swimming areas. One camper at Camp Blanding RV Park shared, "We camped here in the fall and the kids had a great time. Our site was right on the lake so the kids had a great time playing in the water for something to to."
Playground and activity spaces: Look for campgrounds with dedicated spaces for kids. At Moonshine Acres RV Park, a camper mentioned, "They also have a small playground, 24hr rec room, general store, and restroom facilities." These amenities keep children entertained throughout your stay.
Site selection for families: Choose sites closest to amenities for convenience with children. "I suggest booking closer to the lake if you would like to swim and take advantage of the pool house," advised one Island Oaks RV Resort visitor, pointing out the benefit of proximity to recreational areas.
Tips from RVers
Extension cords and extra hoses: Several RV parks in the area require longer than standard hookup equipment. A camper at Island Oaks RV Resort advised, "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."
Level sites for larger rigs: Sunny Oaks RV Park in Jacksonville provides suitable spaces for bigger recreational vehicles. A visitor noted, "Very clean and well kept rv park in Jacksonville. Easy access off I-295. 30 mins to beach. 15 mins to downtown."
Reservation timing considerations: Winter months see higher occupancy rates across northeastern Florida. Book well in advance for stays between December and March, particularly for premium waterfront sites or those with full hookups.
