This is a beautiful park to stay in. The trees could pose a problem in getting in to some campsites, but if you choose your spot carefully you should be ok. Our 34 foot 5th wheel fit into our spot on Shark's Eye very nicely. The beach area was wonderful, and the internet access at Island Joe's was fast and a pleasant surprise. The grounds were well maintained. For the price, this beautiful area is a bargain. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a great park. Lots of activities in the park and locally. It's right on the Atlantic Ocean. A really good state park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Reservations are needed even though there were sites open when we were there but on the weekend the ranger said they are full. I love this campground. It has a beautiful beach, a wind surfing and surfing section, boat rentals, picnic area, a snack bar and a hot spot for Wifi at Island Joe’s 24-7. Bikers can also bike around all the loops in the campground as well as on bike trails along the main road. In the campground there are playgrounds, hot showers, electricity and a pathway to the campfire circle. There are 139 sites and every restroom also has laundry facilities.. There is a bedtime lending library for ages four to nine. All the sites are nice with a lot of shade and over the years I have stayed in almost all of them but have not been back in over twelve years. I would choose the Coquina loop if you could. It is the closest loop to the beach so has the coolest breeze and if riding your bikes to the beach it cuts your distance down by over half than from some of the other loops. The rangers were nice when checking in. The only problem that we had was finding the right road to turn in to – there are signs but deceiving. We turned into the lighthouse road twice before we got the right road. It is near Historic St. Augustine which is one of my favorites places to visit with a fort, mission and quaint downtown. Definitely one of the best little towns in Florida but it has changed in twelve years and has the traffic and sprawl with it! The beach is great with waves that are very strong. We drove around all over and this town is no longer RV friendly. Therefore we got the heck out of there and I don’t think we will ever be back. Too bad – it was my grandparents favorite city in Florida and we always stopped there on our way down from Rhode Island. Not any more I guess they don’t want or need campers! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Beach is FABULOUS for toddlers and children. BEWARE of COPPERHEAD SNAKES near the Beach Front Sites. They like to "sun" on the pads and will crawl back into the vegetation on the dunes. This was ONE incident...the other campers had NOT seen ANY snakes, but Camp Management is aware. This is NOT pointed out in the literature (Disney's Ft. Wilderness has a Section on reptiles). Overall a GREAT place....used as a stop over from NC to Ft. Wilderness...BOTH WAYS. If time had NOT been a factor, would have spent a few more days there...weather and beach was GREAT. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for 3 days with friends and loved it. It was our first trip in our new RV. You can't get any closer to the beach than this campground. There are a lot of permanent trailers, but the sites are big, and most of them have gazebos. Our friends have stayed here 4 times and love it. The pool was clean, and the kids had a great time going from the beach to the pool. We definitely will be going back here soon! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Should have listened to all the posts here. I made the reservation before I checked for comments on this web site. Won't make that mistake again. Anyone coming to St. Augustine, go to Bryn Mawr not Ocean Grove. Reasons: 1) No access to the beach that we could find unless you drove up the road several miles and found public access areas. They advertise 400 yards from the beach, however, that's by helicopter. 2) No discounts unless you pay cash, didn't say that until I was checking in. 3) Crowded, sites aren't very easy to back into and they have some sort of lottery system I think for how they hand out the pull throughs. They put me (35ft TT with Large Tow Vehicle in a space that would accomodate a 30ft rig, then they put a class C, in a pull through and he could have parked three of the same size rigs in that area. 4) Service Stunk!! Nuff said. Very unfriendly staff. 5) No campfire, not even in a fire ring. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

There reservation treatment was just plain terrible. I was about 400 miles from St. Augustine and called them for a reservation for the following day. I asked if they had one on the water and viewed there sites on their web page. They confirmed site #209 on the water for two nights and I paid in advance with my visa. I arrived around 5:00 pm to discover that they had given away my camp site and booked me into site #202. Site #202 was a soft, soft sand pit that nobody in their right mind would drive a large rig into. I got a refund and left to find a suitable location. I found a better property available a mile or so down the road. In addition to their poor handling of my reservation, the property appeared very junky and would not hold a candle to Bryn Mawn Resort down the road. I stayed 3 nights and noted that no rig ever used the sand pit during that time yet they were full. Ocean Grove Resort in St. Augustine Florida will never get my business ever. If you are going to be in that area, Beware. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The sites are small and most are pretty close together with many semi-permanent units and park models. We were very diappointed when we first arrived and saw the site that we were assigned. It was tiny and the worst site in the campground, next to an old motor home on blocks with a permanent resident and junk all over the site. The site was not even big enough for our little 24 foot trailer. We saw at least 10 other open sites and my wife went to the office to request another site but was told none were available by an employee who is either rude or was having a very bad day. We were only given another site after I returned to the office and said I was leaving and wanted a refund. The site that we ended up with was nice and probably the second best in the park. It was in the back of the park with a nice view overlooking the dock, creek and marsh. To give them the benefit of the doubt, it was Memorial Day weekend and they were busy and two other employees later apologized for the bad site and the other employee. Overall we had a good stay in our site in the back of the park but it would have been awful in that tiny site close to the pavilion and pool with the Karaoke contest and crowd. Sites 308E-308H, 223, or 319 are the best ones. I think I will checkout Anastasia State Park next time. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is an older park and not really geared for big rigs (40'+) although they say they welcome up to 45'. The streets are narrow and the majority of the sites used for nightly check-ins are mixed in with park models. You have to be careful which streets you turn down or you can find yourself stuck. The site we had had many anthills and soft dirt to set up on. But overall it's a quiet place, clean and residents are friendly to overnighters. I just would never bring my 40' coach here again due to tightness. We camped here in a Motorhome.
