Pecan Park RV Resort

Conveniently located on route between Destin and Savannah, because it’s just north of Jacksonville and did not require going into the city. Park looks fairly new with clean, level paved sites and smooth roads. Easy access into and around the park for big rigs and the premium spots towards the front are worth it. Cottages look very nice and new. Clean dog parks (two) with agility course near the front entrance. My site 503 is on the catch and release pond which is the side of the park to choose if you want the waterfront scenery. Laundry facility looks very nice although I did not use it. I also did not venture to their Expansion park, but there is a clubhouse there. Based on what I did see, I would assume the facilities that I missed, like the showers, are pretty nice too. Room for improvement would be providing recycling service as there is none here.

Nicely Manicured & Convenient

I would have given 5 stars but a couple of issues hindered that decision. For the $$$ per night we were not able to use the cable TV as it was being worked on while we were there as well as the wifi was down. No compensation was offered. We had to request a picnic table and no fire pit or ring available on the site. Pad was large enough, just, for our 42ft rig and truck. Water pressure was adequate at 50 psi. Park is large clean and well maintained, great dog park, pool, very close to I95. One exit down has a ton of shopping and places to eat. Airport very close so be ready to hear plains landing everyday. Local flee market next door. Beaches are a 30min drive but worth the ride. Overall it was a little pricey for this particular park. 

Nice park, friendly staff and close to beaches

We stayed here for a week on spring break. It was a very nice campground with well kept sites. We were close to the front pool area. There was a small pond area near our site that people could fish in. The park has been expanded and many of the amenities are now located closer to the new section which made it inconvenient to get to without driving over in the truck unless you have a golf cart. There was a tennis court on that side as well as another pool and recreation room but we did not use those. There was a laundry area on our side which we used and was nice. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained. The campground is very close to the air port so there were planes flying over all the time but it wasn’t bad. I was worried about not being able to sleep but had no issues. 

Spring Break

This is a state-of-the-art RV destination, easily accessed by exiting I-95 and driving westward for less than a minute. Located just due north of Jacksonville, you'll be able to easily spot Pecan Park just as you exit all of the busy traffic(as you head northerly) and city mayhem to Florida's largest city. What this RV parking lot lacks in terms of personality, sense of community and absence of unmanicured natural surroundings makes up for in terms of ease of accessibility from the country's busiest east coast highways and brand spanking newness. While not a destination IMHO, this gigantic concrete paved, diagonally slanted RV parking lot might be a good place to layover as you are traveling to your ultimate destination. 

  

The office, grounds, recreation area(s), laundry room, restrooms / shower facilities and adjoining pool are all fairly brand new and very well kept. The pet-friendly RV park itself is incredibly organized in single-lined fashioned with 1-way directions keeping the flow orderly. There’s decent space between slots for both parking and makeshift outdoor living with plenty of room to roll-out the shade from your RV home from the perfectly poured and 100% level concrete pad you will be parked on. While there’s not a lot of attractions around the park, its proximity to I-95 makes this very attractive for a single night layover. And if you've got your fishing pole and looking for a little distraction, there is a nearby lake, albeit small, for some interesting catch &amp; release fishing. Other amenities include: picnic tables, stone-encased fire rings, full hook-ups (20 / 30 / 50 amp electric, water and sewage), back-in and pull-through slots to chose from, WiFi, LP gas, horseshoe pit and on-site storage. 

  

Insider's tips? Here's a few: (1) As this is not a destination location, I would recommend you get in late and leave early in order to make the most of your time enjoying the location you are really traveling towards; (2) If you are planning on staying here at Pecan Park for any length of time and want to explore some of the great natural surroundings around Jacksonville, I highly recommend checking out the following (all of which are less than 20 minutes from this RV parking lot): Amelia Island SP, Big Talbot Island SP, Pumpkin Hill Creek Preserve SP, Little Talbot Island SP; (3) Should you want to explore some great local Florida beaches, head on over to Atlantic Beach which is the northernmost beach in Jacksonville otherwise, you can hit up Huguenot Memorial Park, which has some pretty cool beach access due north of Atlantic Beach over near Mayport where you can see his might Naval installation; (4) Should you need to load up on supplies or groceries while at Pecan Park, if you head due east on Pecan Park Road and south on Main Street, you'll find a Publix in the Duval Station Center; and (5) While you are sitting next to I95, there's actually not much there apart from Love's Travel Stop, but if you head south and get off on the very next exit, you'll hit the comfort food jackpot that includes: Chili's, Chick-Fil-A, Cracker Barrel, Salsas, Olive Garden, BJ's, Mellow Mushroom, Carraba's, Starbucks, Moe's Southwestern, Longhorn, Ruby Tuesday, 5 Guys (and the list goes on). 

  

Happy Camping!
