Stories from the community

5 nights at Anastasia Island RV Pad Rental

We loved staying at Sherri and Robert's site. It is so convenient to historic St. Augustine and the beach. The pad is level, and the site has full hookups (30 amp). The hosts are friendly and helpful. They even loaned us camp chairs as we forgot to pack ours. We will definitely return when we visit St. Augustine.

5 nights at Anastasia Island RV Pad Rental

Robert and Sherri are awesome hosts. They made us feel at home and their place is so cute and well taken care of. Saw lots of birds and some turtles in the pond. The back yard is very serene and quiet. The camping neighbors in site 2 were real nice too. The pad is a driveway, but the way they have it set up, with hedges and a nice paver patio, you don’t feel like you’re in a front yard.

6 nights at Anastasia Island RV Pad Rental

Staying at Robert & Sherri's quaint and quiet space for a week was just what I needed to feel some respite and renewal. I was at pad #2, which had access to a lovely patio set and a couple of chairs in a grassy area for relaxation. Having hook-ups for water, electric, and wastewater was such a convenience. I had the opportunity to ride my bicycle to the beach, which was incredibly fun. It was a very simple and safe route down well-maintained sidewalks with beautiful scenery. They recommended that I visit the local farmer's market at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre, which I also did by bicycle on very safe sidewalks and one manageable crossing. I was able to buy some fresh vegetables and fruit as well as enjoy a really nice breakfast from a couple of food vendors. Listening to the stylings of some local musicians playing at the market was a bonus. In the afternoons, I enjoyed sitting on the lounge chair by the lake in their backyard watching turtles poking their heads above water and local birds fishing. I truly appreciate the privacy that I was provided by Robert and Sherri. They were so friendly and truly respected my Skoolie as my home. They did invite me to have tea and snacks with them. It was wonderful to talk story and get to know them. They are incredibly kind people and have created a little oasis by the beach in a safe and quiet neighborhood. *There is a KOA literally a street over...so glad I came across their place.

1 night at Private Escape on the Lake

Beautiful spot! Paul was very helpful and we had a wonderful time.

2 nights at Anastasia Island RV Pad Rental

3 nights at Family Farm Close to Everything!

Our second time staying at the farm. Highly recommend!

1 night at Lady Winona's Camp

Love staying for the peace and quiet. Close to shopping and food.

2 nights at Anastasia Island RV Pad Rental

This was a great place to spend a couple days...more if you're not passing thru like we were. A nice private patio next to the spot gave us enough space to put up our 2' tall fence for the pups. Robert and Sherri were very accommodating, and he provided us with pamphlets about things to do and places to eat in the area. We could not have asked for a better St. Aug area stay! Spot is level and easy to get into and out of. Will ask to stay again if we find ourselves in the area.

1 night at Lady Winona's Camp

Always have a great time staying here. Very peaceful and quiet would highly recommend.

15 nights at Florida fun on the farm

Mindy is really nice lady. Place was peaceful and quiet

1 night at Beautiful Orlando-Area Lake Camping

Short drive from universal studios. We were able to park right near the porta potty as I always have to make a run for it in the mornings. This place has so many birds! We saw a duck family, a big dancing sunbathing black loon? And a crane family! Made up of mom, dad and two fuzzy babies. This is an amazing place for bird watchers that's for sure. And no mosquitoes! We came at the end of March and would love to return someday. Thank you for sharing your property with us!!!

There aren't words enough to explain the amazing vibe of this place.....just book a site. We recommend the Tikka masala add on. Beautifully done 4 course meal, fine dinning meal in a laid back casual setting with one of a kind hosts! Kudos Christina and Kennedy can't wait to return for a 3 retreat!

5 nights at Anastasia Island RV Pad Rental

Great location that gives a nice sense of privacy. Well maintained. We walked to the beach daily, took our pup on a neighborhood stroll and enjoyed the quiet atmosphere. While we did t get to meet Sherri, Robert was very friendly.

Weekend Trip to North Shore Relic Ranch

My boys loved running through the woods at night with the cool breeze and the full moon.

4 nights at Anastasia Island RV Pad Rental

We loved camping on Robert’s property. We had full hookups, a rarity in hip camps. We had a lovely little patio and also use of the backyard overlooking a pond. Robert was very helpful in getting us set up and gave us a welcome pack for St Augustine. We found it very easy to drive down to old town St Augustine for the day with a parking lot just for busses and rvs. Very easy to walk around the old city. One day we rode our bikes to the St Augustine beach and the next day we rode to Anastasia State Park. All in all it was a wonderful stay.
