One of the BEST sites I’ve found through Hipcamp!!!! There was no shortage of things to do on the property itself, but as other reviews have mentioned, there are plenty of nature activities all within short driving distance. Host was great, facilities had everything I needed and in working order. I will definitely be back.

I loved this place as back a couple of miles from the main road, one of the quietest places I’ve stayed at. Lots of space for large venues. Nothing going on while I was there which was nice. Would definitely come back.

This is a great place for children and rv camping. Lots of toys, cars, and trucks for the kids to play with. The St. Mary's river borders the property and is accessible for wading, swimming, and fishing. The property itself is very nice with some secluded spots if you want to do some primitive tent camping. There are port-o-let style toilets with a sink and access to potable water.

Great location for a weekend camp. We were in a 23' TT and used the 30 amp service and water with no problems. CG is clean and stocked with toys to keep the grandkids busy. St Mary's was VERY low water. No paddling this weekend. Will definitely be back. Great job M !
Happy Campers

This spot is a jewel! Right off the road but tucked away. Lovely river access with sweet white sugar sand beaches. Great for kids with fun stuff to keep them occupied. A really cool cypress glade with knees galore if you are willing to explore. Our night was shared with a large group of folks gathering for fun, and we still felt we had privacy. We would go back in a heartbeat and recommend that you check it out!

Exceptional property! Steps to St Marys River, secluded, 1-50A hook and water, nice outhouse with lighting, sink, trails galore. Beautiful huge gazebo with games for our next family gathering. Perfect for group tents. Chairs and fire pits around property and picnic tables. We have a 30' Alliance 5th wheel and in and out was easy. Matt is very easy to work with and we were glad he was there working. No wild animals to mess with your stuff except the resident cat and a rabbit or two. Did I mention..kayaks right by river for very small add, frisbee golf and the river, which you can walk across to the Florida side. You won't get much cell coverage but we did pickup local news and movie channels. Talk about getting away from it all! Hidden Gem! This one will be sought after once word gets out! Just perfect!

This is truly a great place to bring the family. The Host has taken the time to make this family-friendly. Our kids made great memories! Being that close to the river was awesome.

We have found our new camping spot! This camping spot has the perfect balance of amenities while still being able to stay rustic / primitive if you so desire. They have 30A and 50A connections, water hookups, a HUGE covered pavilion with tables, electricity, chairs, hammocks, charcoal grills, bikes, and toys for the little ones. The site also has picnic tables throughout the property. And when you need to cool off there are several sandbars along the river where you can cool off! Our two boys are loud and wild so we absolutely loved this spot. We will be coming back here regularly!

This site was absolutely gorgeous! This was not only my first time using Hipcamp, but also my first time taking out my new RV! I felt way more comfortable and confident taking it to a place where I was able to set up while taking our time! Not only was the site perfect to set up, and so easy to be able to pull the RV through (no backing up necessary), but my pups LOVED swimming in the river! It was just the perfect site and location and I’d love to visit again!

This has to be the best campsite we have ever been to the owner is super nice. I can’t believe how lucky we got discovering this hidden gem. The campsite had everything you need, including water, electricity, and beautiful views. The water was so refreshing on such a hot day, and it was only a short walk from our tent. We have an annual tradition of camping for our anniversary and this has become our new spot!!!

IT WAS AMAZING! Definitely coming back!! I loved tent camping there. It was private, quiet, and so much to do. We fished, went swimming, kayaking, and made dinner & smores over the fire. We brought our 2 grandkids ages 3 & 7. They had a blast and didn't wanna leave, we didn't want to either. They played in the playground area & rode the kids atv all around. We loved the beach area too! The sand is so soft and white! There was picnic tables very close by, so we had a place to sit and eat. Loved the bridge and hammock!
I would definitely recommend this site to everyone I know.

Easy to find even in the dark. The last 2 miles was an active logging road. The crews were scraping the road after heavy rains the day before. Do bring bug spray, we were bombarded by the biggest horse flies I have ever seen.

Great simple campsite for folks visiti g the area. Ron and Sue were very accommodating, especially of our late 9pm arrival. We didn't come with an RV, just a car and some tents. If you're comfortable with primitive camping then it's a great option.

The best private sites RV parks near Jacksonville guide
Where to go
Along St. Johns River
The mighty St. John’s River meets the Atlantic just east of Jacksonville and flows south of the city, affording plenty of options for riverside camping, fishing, hiking, and paddling. Closer to the city, birders won’t want to miss the Huguenot Memorial Park, a prime spot on the Great Florida Birding Trail, while history buffs can explore Yellow Bluff Fort Historic State Park and the Kingsley Plantation.
Northeast Atlantic Coast
Miles of white-sand beaches lie within a short drive of Jacksonville, where you can swim, surf, and enjoy water sports. At the mouth of the St Johns River, Hanna Park has a surf beach, fishing lake, and miles of hiking and biking trails, plus camping and cabin rentals. Further north, you can horseback ride on the beach and camp right on the sand at Amelia Island State Park.
Osceola National Forest
For a change of scenery, head inland to explore the wild woodlands of Osceola National Forest. The forest not only has RV and tent campgrounds with easy access to hiking, OHV, and horseback riding trails, but self-sufficient campers can also venture into the backcountry for dispersed camping.
When to go
Summertime is fun in Jacksonville, when visitors flock to the lakes, rivers, and beaches, and highs climb over 90°F. Jax’s far-north location means that it rarely gets hit by hurricane season (expect some summer thunderstorms nonetheless), and it’s still hot enough to hit the beach through spring and early fall. In winter, the mild weather and diminishing crowds can be a bonus for campers, but don’t expect the balmy temperatures of the south.
