Ocean Grove RV Resort

What I love about Ocean Grove is that it puts you smack dab due south of St. Augustine (a.k.a. Ancient City), but far enough away where you can get away from the noise, traffic and otherwise touristy area of the country’s oldest city. While the downside is that this roadside RV stand is, well, located roadside and in fact, right on the AIA, it does place you within a few minutes’ drive to some of the best beaches, like Crescent Beach, which is only 4 blocks away. Given that this is a fairly well-known attractive area known for its beaches and southern way of seaside life, there’s also no shortage of tiki bars, fish shacks and taco stands to choose from, all within walking distance. 

As for the RV Resort itself, Ocean Grove lives up to the word ‘resort’ given all the amenities that you’ll find here, especially the very well-maintained, amazingly massive heated in-ground pool, gargantuan paved patio deck (with separate area for dining) complete with patio chairs, umbrellas and lounge chaises, along with the overgrown group-sized bubbling hot tub, in addition to offering a very well-stocked market store, restaurant and bar (can anyone say “Mai Tais poolside, por favor?!”) as well as perhaps its most impressive asset, offering direct water access to the Intracoastal (along with kayak rentals, in case you forgot yours). 

Additional amenities include: basketball and bocce ball courts, coin-operated laundr-O-mat (complete with community book exchange / library), billiards and foosball tables, propane refilling station, pull-through and back-in RV slots complete with full hook-ups (30 / 50 amp electric, sewer and water), perfectly level paved RV pads to park on, picnic tables, horseshoe ring, fishing pier on the San Julian river, lagoon with turtle watching, children’s playground, doggie park with designated dog run, boat ramp, RV / boat / jet ski storage area, complimentary WiFi, large picnic pavilion, cable TV (additional charge), golf cart parking, designated dumpsters, community fire pit (the only place on the premises where fires area allowed), recreation hall with A/C and oversized wall-mounted TVs, heated and air-conditioned bath houses with showers. Extra points here for Ocean Grove providing a gated entry point with actual staff that adds additional layers of security, important given the proximity to the AIA. 

Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) IMHO the best spots here at Ocean Grove are those that are waterfront: F138–F141 next to the fishing pier or J100–J126; (2) One of the very few detractors at this place is that of the 208 RV slots available, you will notice that Ocean Grove attempts to make every square inch count, so no matter where you are parked, there won’t be a ton of privacy and your hook-ups will feel very crowded (sewage line right next to the picnic table, hmm, not very enticing to say the least!); (3) When you get tired of trying to figure out what that next meal is going to be when staring down at your mini-fridge or cooler, then check out some local haunts, like Salt Water Cowboy (where anything from the Land, Sea and Swamp section like fried Alligator is pretty amazing), World Famous Oasis Restaurant or Connolly’s Shore Grill for fresh caught seafood; and (4) If you are looking for a decent place to do some great hiking, then look no further than due southwest of Ocean Grove where you can check out Matanzas State Park, that has miles and miles of unspoiled hiking trails with virtually the entire place to yourself (save the deer and gators that you might come across). 

Happy Camping!

Nice campground, kind of like a condo community, lots of large RVs.  Paved patios, clean restrooms/ showers.  Nice laundry facility.  There is a pool but it appears you pay extra to use it.  Also, a little snack area by the pool, didn't go there.  Lots of people winter here from the north.  A little too crowed for me, the rv slots are really close to squeeze more in.

Great full hook up, paved site with easy access to beautiful St Augustine Beach. There’s also a large, clean pool area with hot tub, big fishing dock with small boat/kayak ramp, and bar/restaurant at the pool. Staff is friendly, facilities are clean. Sites are small, but we didn’t spend much time outside of the site. Beautiful sunsets over the dock.

This campground is top notch, tons of amenities- pool, hot tub, restaurant, bar, dock, fitness center. We enjoyed bingo night at the activities center.

Only thing we didn’t like- no fires at the campsite.

We will definitely return!

Amazing spot at the beach!

Great location, close to the beach and to St Augustine attractions. Very clean, well maintained,  nice pool.

Spots are kind of to tide plus, many spots had more than one car or truck parked making the spaces more reduced still. No privacy. My neighbor sewer, electric, and water were beside my picnic table and my motorhome entrance.

WIFI was not good at all and many times disconnected.  Spent 4 nights

This is a very clean resort with lots of amenities. The pool area is very clean and nice. Plenty of activities for adults and kids under the pavilion. The little food/bar area by the pool is really nice. My only complaint is how tight it is. Not a lot of privacy. This is a good place for fun but not for privacy. Full hook ups and concrete pads with bbq and pick-nic tables.

Resort is very clean. Very centralized location. Close to many attractions and to St. Augustine.

Great location. Awesome pool bar with restaurant serving bar food. Sometimes lives entertainment. Beautiful pool and pavillion. 6 miles from downtown. Quiet.

Great location along A1A, within walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shops. The facilities are clean and well maintained. Staff are awesome & helpful (especially Robin... Amazing lady). Pool and restaurant/bar are fun with great food, drinks and entertainment. We will definitely be back.

This place is beautiful. Perfect place to bring family and really enjoy
