North Beach Camp Resort

We stayed the week of Thanksgiving and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The campground is just lovely! Most RV sites are extremely private with plenty of vegetation between them. Our site (118) is a very deep, wide back-in. The river access is fantastic and the ocean is an easy walk across A1A. The beach is about to become inaccessible in a day or two due to a massive rejuvenation project that goes on day and night, crawling its way up the coast. Can’t wait to see the finished product when we come visit again someday!

Best beach campground 

I adore this camping area. You get the river on one side and the ocean on the other! The campsites are spacious with good coverage, the bathrooms/wash (showers and washer/dryer) are close and there are community fire pits which are great for meeting your neighbors and being social. The fishing is great in the river and in the ocean. you are not far from town either if you need anything or just want to go grab a bite/drink. The beach scene is awesome also:) I highly recommend this place!!

Perfect getaway

Beautiful beach on the Atlantic Ocean, beautiful sunsets along the inter coastal. Full hook ups, cable, most sites private and separated by vegetation also providing shade in the summer. Friendly staff, clean campground, pool, store ect. No complaints. My families favorite campground. My young girls never get bored. Minutes from historic downtown st Augustine also.  

Best of Both worlds

Back side of campground is on the Bay. The front is across the street from the ocean. There is a fishing pier for campground guests. Most sites are very private and wooded. Came during Covid 19 so place was empty, couldnt go on beach. The beach from what we saw looked nice! Will come back again. 

North Beach Camp Resort is located on Vilano Beach approximately 20 minutes from historic St. Augustine. We stayed for 3 nights in January. Reservations were not available online at the time we booked, we had to contact the resort via phone and they had advised us only 1 space was available and was 50amp with water. The fee was $82 each night before the AAA discount. We’re a married couple in our forties traveling with two dogs and a cat in our 37 foot motorhome with slideouts on both sides. This campground is pet friendly and we were allowed to take our dogs to the beach with us. The site had trees with tall bushes on both sides providing adequate privacy from other resort guests. The water faucet had a significant leak and sprayed water throughout the stay. We opted to not call for maintenance as the workers servicing another site nearby were smoking cigarettes and we have allergies. A map publication is provided at checkin and the staff provided good directions to the site. All roads throughout the park are compacted sand, we had good traction throughout in both our Class A and MINI Cooper. The signs directing traffic throughout the resort are dark and may be difficult to see at night or by people with poor eyesight. The main building seems to have been built in the 1970’s. It is old, very worn and in disrepair with visible ceiling stains from leaks. The laundry facilities and restrooms vary in age from the 70’s to more recent and most are clean but in need of repair and updates. We opted not to utilize it because they were over used and dirty in appearance. The staff kept the grounds clean of debris and trash, there are multiple receptacles for doggy waste collection. The noise levels were relatively low from the highway. You can hear the waves from the beach at night. However there is significant noise from the Northeast Florida Regional Airport. We were able to hear private jets flying over every 5 minutes all day. The beach access is what brought us to this campground. To get to the ocean you must cross over A1A with traffic speeding up to 50mph. There are no crosswalks or caution signs alerting traffic to pedestrians. There is a restaurant nearby we did not visit as most of our time was at the restaurants in St. Augustine. The Tolomato river provides beautiful views of the sunset. This is a popular evening activity, plan to arrive early to secure your favorite spot.

Located close to beach access and history

Awesome distance to beach 
Walk to a few restaurants and pet friendly
Fishing pier nice also but on the small side
A bit overpriced and spots close together 


Great location- very close to beach 

Awesome beach campground off A1A. Golf cart friendly, very private.. 

Great place

We stayed 7 days in July...very Hot. Weather report at 3pm said “feels like” 108f! Campsite was great, shaded with full hook ups. 2 good restaurants on the inter coastal side, fished and crab hunted at night. Another restaurant on the beach side was just ok. Great location to hit Downtown St Augustine. I recommend a Fishing Charter out of Comachee Cove marina just over the bridge...it was great. Also drive down to Matanzas inlet...walk along the path besides the bridge and spend the day fishing the inlet and snorkeling. Tons of sea turtles, birds, beautiful scenery and history. :) 
....also check out Kyle’s seafood market. Excellent little place with great pre made dips and chowders and fresh seafood. 

This campground meets all the requirements for a tropical camping vacation with plenty of room to explore. Private palmetto and tree lined sites offer plenty of shade. Golf cart recommended as this campground as it sprawls from one of side of the island to the other, offering riverfront beach and Atlantic white sand beaches with private parking. Cruising the trails that wind through the grounds on your cart will be one of your favorite past times. 2 streets down, you’ll find a castle. The facilities were cleaned in the morning - full of sand by evening. Shower and toilet stalls were always available. Great experience! 

Never Bored - River, ocean, privacy 

This was our first beach campground we visited since we usually camp in the fall. We stayed in number 18 and we were very close to the bathroom area (which has AC) and close to the Pool. Love the privacy of the campgrounds although the campgrounds in the smaller loops felt too close to each other. This campground is in an excellent location. Across from the campground is the St. Agustine Beach and you have inside the campground direct access to the River area.  There is a pool but for the size of the campground is a bit small but is open until 9pm.  Most people moved around in golf cart and they even have parking space for a small boat on certain campsites. The staff is great and helpful. It is about 10 min drive from old St. Agustine were there are many things to do an restaurants. There is a boat ramp on the street next to the campground and there are two restaurants within walking distance of the campground. Great place for a summer gateway.

Great Beach Front Campground

This campground was pretty great. Beach to the East and river to the west of the property. We loved the private beach area which kept the crowds to a minimum, compared to the public areas. My partner and I tent camped there during 4th of July weekend. Mornings/evenings were cool but mid afternoon was HOT however, the trees provided some cover. 
The only major con was the state of which the bathrooms were kept. Although they were air conditioned they are a bit rundown. Cleanliness could use some improvement but I’m sure most of it had to do with the crowdedness during that weekend. Not sure if it is better kept during normal times. 
Pets are allowed but with breed restrictions. They are allowed in all areas of the campground except the store, bathrooms, and pool. 

Great Spot

This is a wonderful place 5 minutes from Old Town in St Augustine. Love how it is set in between the ICW and the ocean. The sites are good sized and private. They have foliage in between every site that makes you feel like you could be out here all alone. Staff and other campers are all very friendly. If you get hungry for a great seafood dinner you can walk down to Aunt Katie’s on the river. We had an absolutely wonderful dinner there. Only negative,which didn’t affect us was the bath houses are on the older side and need to be remodeled. 

Private and friendly 

Campground is huge! Lots of great sites. Can’t wait to visit again. 

Love this place!!!! 

We really enjoyed our stay!  My family spent Thanksgiving week here and we all agree it was one of the best!  We were in the back sites which turned out to be great; it was wide, deep, with lots of trees and vegetation around to give our site privacy and a beachy feel.  We were as close as we wanted/needed to be to St. Augustine and a few minute walk to the beach.  We were right by the river and were able to get our kayaks out.  The pool was great and there is a small store on site with the basics.  Just few miles down in Vilano there is grocery stores and restaurants, with even more in St. Augustine if needed.  We did not get a chance to enjoy the 3 restaurants within walking distance but heard from neighbors they were all great.  This is a place we definitely have on the list for future visits (maybe every-other Thanksgiving).  Note, you have to bring your own fire pit with a screen, but we have a @solostove so that is preferred for us anyway.

  

PROs:  very quite and private site.  The pool was great and our kids spent a lot of time there when we were not at the beach.  The beach across the street was great and convenient but we also spent time at Vilano and St. Augustine beaches.  St. Augustine is a great city to check out; a lot of fun shops and restaurants in the historic downtown, the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument, the Alligator Farm was awesome!  We loved driving on Augustine Beach and enjoying the surf.  Even a week there we have a lot of things we were not able to fit in.

  

CONs: For the price, the bathrooms and laundry are very old and are in need of some remodeling. The trash dumpsters are at the entrance so you have to carry out your trash quite a long way. when you are in the back (this was not a big deal for us, we took it when heading to the pool or beach, but it might be for some people).

Thanksgiving Getaway!

This place is the best! The owner and staff went above and beyond to make our trip fun and exciting.  I've never be to a place where the staff has gone out of their way to make us so happy..  Thank you Ami, your the best!

Amazing!

Sites can be chosen close to the pool and ocean, or closer to the intracoastal for fishing and dining. 

Such a special place!

We had a wonderful week at North Beach Camp Resort. The campsites are private and quiet. Lots of shade. Full hookups. The staff in the office were very nice and welcoming. The beach is directly opposite the campground entrance, and is clean and not crowded. There are two restaurants within walking distance: The Reef and Aunt Kate’s. Both are great. Would recommend for a family with children or a couple traveling empty nest (like us). Will certainly come back!

Beach Haven

Such a fun area and great campsite. The private fishing dock is awesome and the ocean and beach is immediately across the street. Just north of St Augustine- check out the castle, drive on the beach, and lots of good eats 🤙🏼!

Everything, and a dock!

Very nice people.  Easy in and out.  Can ride bikes to town 🥳. Nice pool. Walking distance to beach.  Two restaurants within walking distance.  **great food and drinks 🍸.

Wifi is challenging in some areas; line of site important.  I worked on computer in office lounge/TV area. 

Laundry is adequate. Not sure if it was the condition of the machines or water pressure.  I use vinegar and could still smell it after the first rinse cycle, then that machine didn't spin, had to move clothes to a different machine... coin operated. 

Would we go back? Resounding Yes... the people make all the difference 👍 and walking the beach and hearing the waves, equals a free mani pedi, moments to reflect,  and opportunities to be mesmerized by nature. lol. Who wants to do laundry anyways. 🤣

Relaxing Campground

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in November 2021. I was right by the river and had an excellent view out my window. Very shady spots and plenty of space for long walks on the paths, along the river or across the street at the beach. I had 2 dogs &amp; appreciated the doggy stations with poo bags and garbage. The wifi was kind of nonexistent at my site but it wasn’t missed since we were always outside on the dock, walking, or enjoying the restaurants that are literally right next to the campground. The dock is great for fishing and we met lots of friendly people. The pool looked decent but we didn’t use it because it was cold out. They have a cute little store but we didn’t have time to really check it out. It feels so remote there but it’s really close to local attractions. I can’t wait to go back! 

Remote feel but close to attractions

The live oaks make sure a Serene campground. The host in the office could be a little nicer

Beautiful grounds

I had a wonderful time at this camp site. Customer service is great and the site is clean. I will be returning. 

Great place to camp 

Stayed one night in the pouring down rain and still had fun!  Highly recommend!

Such a fun location for RV

We loved our private dirt site with tree separation, picnic table, water, and electric. We set up our tents and enjoyed warm showers and were able to   clean up at the communal sink. A perfect first night on our East Coast bike tour!

Water and Electric - yes please!

Family and I spent the week at North Beach and really enjoyed ourselves. Location is awesome and amenities are sufficient. 

Summer Stay

I don't know too many places that will place you dead even between a fantastic stretch of golden sand lining the Atlantic Ocean on the one side and the brackish, slow moving currents of the Intracoastal on the other side (although down this way, this inland waterway way is referred to as Tolomato River). Add to this, you're just a stone's throw away from Ancient City (a.k.a. St. Augustine - the oldest city in the US), which is chocked full of old school Spanish colonial fortresses, medieval architecture, cobblestone pathways and enough entrepreneurial wanna-be pirate marauders on every corner, you've sworn you've died and woken up next to Johnny Depp as an extra in ‘Pirates of the Caribbean.’ 

  

This campground is fantastically hidden on a desolate stretch of the AIA where the only thing to keep you occupied (look left while heading south) is the vast blue grey of the Atlantic Ocean where there's a shallow stretch of hot, burning golden sand, strewn with broken embers of seashells scattered throughout the beachhead - where if you're lucky, you'll find a shark's tooth or two (Insider's Tip? Mosey on up north to Ponte Vedra Beach where you'll find them there by the dozens). On the right, you'll see scattered rooftops that are hidden in the overgrown jungle-like forest of moss-laden mangroves and the shadow-casting palmettos. You'll be lulled to peaceful'restitude' from the lapping of intracoastal waves as the giant golden sun burns out its final fumes every dusk by setting the horizon on fire each night as you celebrate a day of living on the land in this well configured campground. 

  

So let's break out the basics. Upon entry, you'll arrive to the main office, inside which you'll find (surprise, surprise!) a spartan, nicely appointed and well-stocked little market of sorts. Postcards? Tick. Booze? Tick? Snacks, water and essentials? Tick, tick and tick! Another insider’s tip – while the campground store is quite impressive, if you need to really stock up, there’s a large Publix just south on AIA. Pass the main office (and huge compliments to the most amazing campground staff ever, BTW!), you'll pass through the gated entry (bonus points for this street-side campground oasis for safeguarding its guests with some decent security) to find a small, somewhat uncomplicated and well-laid out pathway of RV slots. 

  

If I was an RV'er (and let's be clear, I'm not), I would be stoked about the pristine conditions these land architects have laid out for your stay - every single RV slot is completed surrounded by foliage, so even though you feel like it's a slanted, uncovered garage sand parking lot (and it kind of is, minus not having a roof) feel comforted by the fact that your individual slot is completely enclosed by God's green nature (which means noise and lights from your neighbors is reduced). Take this - I looked at every single slot and there's prime privacy to be had, despite being able to jump down from the safeguards of your RV and rubbing elbows with your next door neighbors for a coozy or two in just 8-10 steps. 

  

But let's get to my tribe - if you're pitching a tent and shun the 'basic amenities' (read: I don't need light - where there is no sun, God gives me the moon and stars to paint my way and where it's too dark, I spark a natural light), then you'll be pleasantly surprised by what I found. First of all, the primitive camping area is exclusive just to those of us that 'pitch a tent.' You won't be distracted (or frustrated) by those that have driven their living rooms into nature. You'll experience a peaceful and calm serenity unlike any that I have found here in my new home of Northern Florida. There's about 8-10 tent sites, each with their own little enclave of greenery, shrubbery and green-fortified tranquility, complemented by a solid picnic table and flat land (and very little else save a communal spigot of water). You'll share a communal grille, BBQ and fire (which is fine, although not optimal, as you'll get to meet new people). Beyond the Spanish moss of these high teetotaling, yet wilting ancient trees, you'll be basked in the ever-present veil of nature's darkest, meanest, most verdant surroundings. You will hear the chirping of tree frogs. You'll experience the rhythmic bliss of small laps of river water washing up against tree-soaked intracoastal highways of water going nowhere in particular. In short, you will ask yourself this question: why is the world moving so fast when the best in life seems to slow down in these parts? 

  

But let me finish by pointing a finger at the most amazing point of your discovery here - beyond the people you will meet, the sweet paths that you will walk down, or the startling silence you will undoubtedly encounter, you will discover this very rarified thing that exists, almost in complete isolation here, alongside the famed AIA on an intracoastal stretch of paradise - you'll have incredibly EZ access to the some of the most amazing coastal beachside that I have ever been privileged to step upon and you will be conflicted with this reality and the opportunity to shun it, in favor of the most phenomenal inward coastal riverway that will (in just a 100 strokes in your kayak) place you in the oldest city in the most important Western civilization that this world has ever known. 

  

And you won't do this through high-speed intranet, a Zoom conference call or a FaceTime Meeting. No. You'll simply jump into your kayak. Or you'll go for a quick dip in the slow-moving current of the Intracoastal. Or you'll cross the street from this campground to follow, ever so slowly, the trepidacious footsteps on this, the most pristine, golden beach you'll ever come across. 

  

Happy Camping!

Camping Paradise Found!

This campground is amazing! One of our favorites so far. The campsites are private and full of beautiful trees and shade. It is walking distance to the beach and the beach is beautiful and clean. The pool is definitely a plus. We watched the sunset on their fishing dock and went fishing as well. We already booked for the following month! 

Weekend Getaway

A perfect spot between the river &amp; the ocean. Wooded area, great fishing, near everything but feels remote, dog friendly. 

One of my faves

This is a pretty unique location with a beach across the street, inter coastal water way on the backside and a historic city a stones throw away. Our site was #25, a back in, full hook up, with picnic table and level, surrounded by vegetation which made it somewhat private. The site was pretty narrow but sufficient. The campground roads and sites are sand. The downside was the main bathroom, which was very old and rundown, plan on using your own facilities. 

Location!

We 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. 

Sunrise & Sunset views

We 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!

Great Campground !

The 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.
