look at Anastasia State Park. just do your homework on site selection

We really like Anastasia too but they only have a few spots for a 38' Rv and they book out almost a year out.

Bad advice for someone with a 38ft 5ver - North Beach has huge pull through sites. Gonna need a big shoehorn to fit that big of a unit into the spaces at Anastasia.

We were in Anastasia State park this year with our 39' 5th wheel & Kenworth full size tractor, yes it was very tight but I did manage ok but others might not like being tested like that. I have looked around there and saw better sites that are easier to get into but just have to be early enough to book them.

I have a 38 DP. I looked at some of the 36' sites and knew I could fit. I asked the office (mistake) if it was ok to reserve a shorter spot and they said they would not let me check in if I tried.

There are a 4-5 for 38 but I think only 2-3 for 39-40'.

We like a Bryn Mawr if you can get a decent space down front. Very tight for a 40 DP.
Ocean Grove has bigger spaces. Plus I don't like the salt air on the chassis.

We don't stay at the campground all day/night so all we like is the convenience of full hookups and the nearness to the ocean. :R

North Beach - Ocean across the street, trees and vegetation between sites, sites a decent size, not far from town, nice, quiet, clean park.

We're staying at North Beach over spring break. I asked a similar question as the OP a couple of months ago and received an overwhelming vote for North Beach. I've researched the other places recommended but I really like the concept of the Atlantic and ICW at each end of the park. The only item that concerns me is several comments I saw on Trip Advisor regarding the sand. Wish the roads were paved. The place does look rundown but not sure if that is the look they are going for or if it really is rundown.

Yes, the interior roads and the campsites are sand, so it will get tracked in and around. It's not rundown, although there is an area down by the intercoastal that is pretty shabby, but other than that, they keep it in good shape.

Like Anastasia State Park, tight but worth it if you can find right spot.

THANK YOU to all who shared their camping experiences in St. Augustine.
Most favoured North Beach RV,
while Ocean Grove RV Resort had larger sites,
we have stayed at Beverly Beach Camptown and loved the sunset plus watching a small pod of wales through our RV window but it has become very pricy.
Bryn Mawr RV Resort also got 2 votes... sites seem a little small.
Not much was said about Stagecoach RV Park???
Looks like North Beach RV is the favorite.
Thks again for your input... regards GPG
