Safe, friendly staff

Easy in & out location. Wooded throughout. Full hookup pull thru sites available & they even have “paw pen” sites with private fenced areas for dogs. Very friendly staff. Right off of the highway so you can hear traffic if you’re outside but not inside. Little store with the basics. Doggy poo stations throughout. Cute pool with a waterfall & slide. Small playground and dog park.

Close to Jax with Enough amenities

Great little campground. I do wish store was open earlier and later but the biscuits and gravy (only on weekends) with waffles made up for it! Semi secluded and we stayed in a nice cabin with fridge/microwave and TV and AC/Heat with 1 bunk bed and 1 queen. Plenty of space to park, clubhouse is nice with pool and games etc but pool was closed by dept of health recently. There is plans to reopen soon but it is a little cold so no big deal.

Hello Kyle! Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and leave a review! Our store is open from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and we do our best to accommodate any early or late arrivals. Our pool pump failed over the weekend and we have shut down our pool out of an abundance of caution and will have it re-opened within the next day or two when the new pump arrives and is installed. Again, thank you for staying with us and we hope you visit us again soon. Safe travels friend!

New Year Trip

We took our T@G on its first big trip. We rang in the New Year camping and we loved it. We had a big site near the bathroom. The park was good, they had breakfast each morning, A store with essentials, activities around the park and we could see the fireworks on New Year’s Eve/New Year’s day from our site. There were some run down and dirty RVs in the park, that had been there for a long time. The bathrooms were in need of repair, this was noted on the KOA review page also. There was missing trim, old wood under the sink area, and the bathroom floors were always flooded. Not sure where the water came from, but it was there every day. The weather was around 80 most of the time, only one cold night. Overall a good trip, probably wouldn’t go back to this KOA.

Very disappointed

Passing through for 2 night stay . Left after 1 night, I knew before we parked the vehicle that couldn’t stay more than that night. We paid extra for the PAw Pen and my dogs couldn’t spend one second in it. It was so muddy and full of holes dug by dogs( no maintenance) The staff was very nice and offered to send maintenance over but no maintenance that day could make it playable. The bathrooms were unusable, discussing mold. The traffic noise was pretty bad. The staff very friendly. The biscuits and gravy very good( free) But I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. A never again for me.

Month of VisitMarch

Hello Angie. We appreciate your feedback and would like to let you know that this campground is under new ownership! Our staff checks the Paw Pen site daily to make sure that any holes that are dug get filled in. They also clean it out to make sure that no "presents" are left from the previous 4 legged guests.

The bathrooms have been completely redone and look AMAZING! Sprinkles, our friendly neighborhood bunny may try to hop in there, so be sure to keep the door shut. She can get into mischief if she doesn't get biscuits or snacks.

We hope you give us another chance in the future. If there is ever anything we can do to make your stay more enjoyable, please reach out to me at jacksonville@koa.com

Heated pool broken. We stayed 2 days and got different stories from all staff. Finally a clerk informed us part was in order. Old facilities with poor circulation in shower rooms. Right off highway so lots of over night traffic. Only great thing is complimentary breakfast daily. Waffles. Biscuits and gravy and pancakes. No sightseeing pamphlets in store. Most places closed on Sunday and Monday in the town. Took ferry to Cumberland Island on Sunday. Fun experience but really most exciting thing in the town.

Roadside Camping Playground

Weary-eyed after driving up or down I-95 for countless hours, but don't want the hassle of getting too far off the interstate to find a decent place to rest your weary head… then look no further!

St. Mary's KOA is just a stone's throw once you get off the highway (just 2 lefts and 1 right and you'll arrive at your destination). While KOA's are very well known for being family-friendly, complete with all the bells and whistles to distract the kiddos, this one offers convenience, decent amenities (although some updating of the roads and the campsites themselves are needed) and an open playground for camping.

While the upside is its convenient on- and off-access from the interstate, that's also the downside: you'll hear traffic throughout your stay. But if you can get beyond that, then this could be a good stop, complete with a mini golf course, pool and waterslide and a number of other distractions.

The main office has a store complete with just about anything you would need, and there's even some WigWam teepees and semi-permanent cabins on the property that you can rent. Happy Camping!

Easy highway access with wide RV spots

We stayed here for one night on our way to Florida. We checked in after dark and were able to easily find our site. Sites are grass, mostly level, and plenty wide (for a KOA) so you don’t feel on top of your neighbors. There are plenty of activities for the kids including a pool with water side, mini golf, and a bounce pad. The campground offers free WiFi through a 3rd party, but the poor speed made it unusable during our stay. We had 3 bars of LTE coverage on AT&T. The free breakfast was a pleasant surprise.

Nice KOA, needs some maintenance

We had a nice two day stay at Jacksonville North KOA. The pull through sites were close together, as is typical of these commercial campgrounds. Smelled like sewer throughout the campground. The playground would have been nicer if it was maintained appropriately. Not much to do in the area. We visited mill ruins which was cool. Were going to go to Cumberland Island, but it would have been $200 for 1 adult and 3 kids with bikes. Yikes.
