Been coming here for many years. Great location, but... it has been going downhill over the past few years. It feels like they are ready to sell the property and turn it into condos. Owned by: North Beach Investment Inc. Key Principal: FRANK D USINA, 91 years old. They have more than doubled their prices. The Usina family's greed is an embarrassment to the reputation of St. Augustine. Highest prices in Florida, and still no WiFi. The park use to be packed. Now, most of the sites are empty. They NO LONGER: * put out umbrellas in the pool area. You cannot find shade. * heat the hot tub. It is the same temperature as the pool. * decks are rotting in the cabins. * cabin screens have multiple rodent holes through the plastic screen. If they were even trying, they would use metal screens that rodents cannot chew through. read more

This place was nice! How nice to enjoy the sunset with all your "neighbors". The bathrooms were clean. There are 2 restaurants onsite/across the street. There was also a small store onsite. read more

North Beach Camp Resort - Sunset at camp - Campgrounds Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

The reviews on this place are schizophrenic, it seems. It's either 5 stars or 1. I'll have to add to the 5 star camp, because this is one of the most unique and beautiful campgrounds I've stayed at. The tunnels of trees offer much-needed shade, and are gorgeous, making for such a cool vibe. I appreciated Aunt Kate's restaurant on-site, where you can have drinks/food on the waterfront. Vilano Beach is right across the street, is absolutely gorgeous, and shockingly uncrowded even in hot October weather. Campground guests can park at the lot right on the beach across the street. We have a 40' motorhome and really enjoyed our 4-night stay here. I didn't have any issues with management or employees being rude. I felt they were helpful. read more

Love the campground!! Nice private sites directly across A1A to a great beach!! However, the owners have taken upon themselves to block FOX News on our TV's!!! I personally would appreciate being able to make the choice if I want to watch FOX or not!! I don't need the owner of the camp to which I am paying good money to make that choice for me!!! Not sure what objective they have!! read more

The variation in reviews here are crazy. I think it must be just that some people just have crazy expectations. Here is my take. This is an old campground style RV resort. It has been in the same family for generations I believe. Staff was helpful but not rude as some say. They seem to be locals, not work campers. Parts of the resort are old and a bit tired. Charming as they say. They have renovated some parts, new dock at the river, electric pedestals are newish. But the real treasure is the trees and landscape. Well aged and mature. Most sites are very private and level. Sites are sand as are the roads. I would say very easily navigable with most rv's. It is a great resort to walk the roads. Nice and quiet. Sunsets on the dock overlooking the river, and an easy walk to the beach for sunrise. The Reef restaurant across the street on the beach is pretty good. Good service and the food was 8/10. We have not been to the other restaurant at the river side so no idea there. It is an easy walk also though. Publix is a short drive or a 2 mile bike ride. Along Vilano beach there are no condo towers or massive homes. Just a chill vibe community. Access is easy from either the north or the south. We have arrived late and the staff sent us info to get us in after hours. Getting in your site after dark is not the easiest as there is very limited lighting (think street lights), but this is also awesome when you are not parking. Great atmosphere overall, just adjust your expectations. Its not the Ritz ;) We have been here before and we will for sure return. We love this place. read more

We camped in an RV, so we are rating our camping spot. Water pressure was great altho the water had a strong chlorine smell and a slight taste. Nothing too bad, but definitely noticeable. Love the pool-large and well kept. Love the access to the beach. And, it's a gorgeous beach. We did not use the restroom. - - - - - - - - Edited: (I thought we qualified for a senior discount, which was not noted on our receipt) No Senior Discount, only AAA and military. Office was VERY helpful and polite when I went in to ask. I really appreciated the tone of the conversation, especially as I was in the wrong. read more

So far we are not happy with our visit here. The front desk is not hospitable to site requests or moves and want to charge for days not reserved. I DO NOT advise staying here especially it's all dirt. read more

Stayed here this last weekend, it was only 2 nights but we enjoyed it. The camp site was nice sized and quiet so very relaxing. Check in and out was easy. There was plenty of room for 2 vehicles at the camp site. The bathrooms/showers were clean. They have laundry on site. There is a pool however I did not get the chance to check it out. You can access the beach just by walking across the road. They have a little store inside that sells food and souvenirs. There are 2 restaurants within walking distance and a grocery store just down the road. We took a Lyft into St.Augustine it was under $12 each way, great deal and way better than trying to find parking and you can enjoy adult beverages with out worry. read more

North Beach Camp Resort - Front parking lot with the beach across the street - Campgrounds Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

This is absolutely my favorite place to camp! The beach on one side and the river is on the other. The staff has always been pleasant and we have never had a problem! Yes WiFi isn't the best but you are camping so who cares. We have an Rv and it has been the best place for us. Also we had to leave early due to a hurricane hitting our house and they were very gracious to refund a day to us. They didn't have to but I really appreciated it! This place is a gem! Also the Reef and Aunt Kate's restaurants and delicious and walking distances! read more

Save your money. Campground is run down. WiFi does NOT work, cable does NOT work. Staff is extremely rude. They charge for EVERYTHING. Online booking fees, more fees....If you want to show your camper to a guest, they charge $5 PER PERSON, even if they walk in. Pathetic. I've stayed here several times, but this is the last time. Rude and nasty employees... read more

Easy to book and easy beach access. Love the restaurants nearby and not too far from Publix. The grounds are magical--private, quiet, and between the intercostal and ocean with so many options for adventures. LOVE this place and have made it a traditional spot to camp and RV w all the amenities. Huge pool too! read more

Poor customer service and unkind! My friend made two reservations for my family and them for the weekend of January 5th. Her husband, who is a disabled veteran, tested positive for both covid and influenza. Called to ask if we could change our reservation to another weekend due to the unforeseen circumstances. They refused to give us a credit or move the reservation to a different weekend. I mean, are we supposed to camp there and spread Covid to everyone? Seems unfortunate that they have really bad customer service, which seems to be a trend based on other reviews. read more

DO NOT STAY HERE! I was driving my 5 year old around on the golf cart making sure to follow all road rules to keep her safe. I pulled around the corner to see a man who had a black beard and looked to be working at the camp grounds. As soon as he saw me he yelled at me that I was going to fast and that my 5 year old almost flew off. I reassured him that I was following the rules and he asked if I was even old enough to drive! I told him that I was an adult. He continued to scream at me saying in quote "if I see you driving like that again I will revoke your golf cart pass and you will never drive here again!" My family has had some similar issue with this man and we've been coming here for 10years. No women should ever be yelled at by a man that doesn't pay her bills! I do not recommend coming here! read more

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!. I stayed there one time. It was over priced and fair at best. A few months later we were going back to the same area. I looked online for availability. The dates that I wanted were not available. A short time later they called me asking what time I would be there that night. I DID NOT MAKE A RESERVATION!!! They charged my card that was on file from a previous stay. I asked to speak to the manager. She was not there. I made repeated calls to speak to the manager. She was NEVER there nor would she call me back. I even asked to use the money at at later date and spend more nights. "Needs manager approval" Manager is never there and will not call back. STAY AWAY!!!! Total rip off!!! read more

Do not stay here!!!!! They are doing construction 100 yd from our campsite with a front end loader tearing down trees. I went to the office to discuss this and the ladies in the office they were extremely rude and snappy. It was over $50 a night for a tent site. And then to listen to all this construction noise for 8 hours from about 10:00 in the morning till after 5:00 in the evening. It's really bad. They could have let us know prior to making reservations or giving us a discount for the inconvenience. but when I went and discuss it with the ladies in the office they were just giving me snide remarks and acting like some white trailer trash. after I walked out got my car I saw the next person come out the door laughing so I know they said something about me when I left. I just feel we should have been informed of the construction going on or maybe not put right in the middle of it. There was not a single other person around us. oh and there's garbage all around the place in the bushes I've picked up a whole bag full already. And the showers have so little water pressure you can barely rinse your hair out. This is not where you want to stay! read more

Extremely poor customer service! I made a two reservations for my family and our friends for the weekend of January 5th. My husband tested positive for both covid and influenza. Called to ask if we could change our reservation to another weekend due to the unforseen circumstances. Woman on the phone was rude, uncaring about the situation and said you have to cancel seven days in advance would not allow us to move to another weekend and charged us the deposit amount and said we could only cancel. Absolutely awful customer service. read more

The location is great and the park itself is very nice. The property straddles the stretch of land between the inter-coastal and the ocean. We had a spot at the front of the park and it was an easy walk across A1A and to the beach. They have a pool up front which is very basic but refreshing. The back of the property is a bit of a walk from the front but there are a handful of sites with water views. There are docks to fish from and a restaurant and bait shop. The drive is quick over the bridge to downtown Saint Augustine. The facilities, restrooms and showers, were dated and just OK. They weren't used very often but also looked like they weren't cleaned that often either. There is a nice sized shop in the office with essentials. What really bothered me, as others have said, were the employees. When we checked in they were fine and gave us the necessary information about accessing showers and bathrooms (our camper doesn't have them). However what they didn't bother to tell us was that halfway through our stay they were fixing the locks on the door to said facilities and didn't bother to give us the access code. Thank goodness we noticed while the front office was open and we could get the code. When I said something about it they rudely and condescendingly said, "Were we supposed to call the whole campground??" Imagine if I'd walked my small child to the restroom in the middle of the night only to find the door locked! That is not ok and the attitude is even less ok. read more

The campground itself is well maintained, & the surrounding bodies of water are beautiful. There are electrical boxes/outlets, as well as running water, at each campsite. The fellow campers & RV'ers are all extremely nice & helpful. Across the street is the ocean, with parking only for the campground & restaurant, so it's never too busy on the beach. The campground is only 10 minutes from downtown St. Augustine, & 10 minutes from the Guana Nature Preserve. The only reason I gave three stars, is because of the employees at the front desk. They're terribly rude on the phone, they're not much better in person, & seem to make up the rules as they please. ***Be sure to reserve your SIX DAYS AHEAD OF TIME OR THEY'LL REFUSE TO GIVE YOU YOUR FREE NIGHT!!!*** When I mentioned that it was not written anywhere, the woman literally told me "We can't put everything on the website." (Trust me, that's just a small example of the ""logic"" these people have haha!) read more

North Beach Camp Resort - Campgrounds Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

5 star for location and campsite, 5 mins walk to North beach from campground if you stay close to the entrance, the other side of campground close to intercoastal. GREAT location and very nice campsite with lots of shade, first time camping here with small pop-up. Will be back for more. Restroom and main welcome building could use a renovation upgrade for sure. Cleanliness for bathroom is fair, could use more cleaning. read more

I didn't stay, but the experience trying to book was rude. I am a travel nurse looking for something to stay at so I can help with covid patients. I said I would like to stay for at least three months. The guy rudely said "oh no we only rent two weeks at a time" then just hung up on me while I was politely saying ok thank you. read more

Dont pull into this rv park. The staff think they are important and special. Rude, rundown, no access across the street to the beach except 5 foot sand drop. Great with coolers, chairs, etc. NOT! Cant believe the owners allow the camp to be so dirty, rundown, and sketchy with employees that are losers but think they are royalty. read more

Love this campground! Perfectly situated between the river and the Atlantic coast. Easy walking to either one. Sites are private and well landscaped. I've read reviews that say bathhouses are unkept but we didn't find that to be the case. They were clean and well maintained during our stay. Staff was friendly and helpful. Walking distance to two very good restaurants. Highly recommend this campground for a wonderful vacation ! One recommendation I have is bring a sand resistant camping mat which most seasoned campers have anyway as there are not cement pads. We will most definitely return. read more

This place is very cool and beautiful!! I'd highly recommend it to anyone wanting to camp right off the ocean with an "old Florida" scenery. We stayed here 2 nights in our 28ft. Class A motor home. We were lucky enough to get site 152 which sits right off of the intercostal water front. There was a nice sandy beach without the ocean waves that my 5 year old spent hours in. It is pricy at $80 per night. With our good Sam discount it brought the price down to $72. It was worth every penny!!! There is 2 restaurants within walking distance.. Aunt Kate's and Reef. Aunt Kate's has a huge deck that over looks the intercostal that you can enjoy a cocktail and watch the sunset. Off to the side of that is a bait shop. Tons of people were fishing. We went to Caps on the Water for dinner one night. The food and ambience was amazing and it's less than a mile away. Definitely put that on your to do list! As for other reviewers negative comments... Here's my view on things :) Sand- ummm your camping on ocean front property. I'd be concerned if their wasn't any. Front desk employees- very nice and accommodating... Made me feel very welcome. It's all about the golden rule folks! Cats- I saw one black cat. I took it as a sign of good luck ;) Amenities: Pool- very nice and refreshing and it's wheel chair accessible Bath house/laundry- clean and gets the job done It's only a 10 min. drive to historic St. Augustine. On our next RV trip to FL we will definitely stay here again! It doesn't get any better than this!! read more

Phenomenal location, amazing price. The grounds are fantastic; the trees and greenery look like a well-pruned garden oasis. The sites are large and private; without that jam-packed parking lot arrangement you often find at beach campgrounds. The land itself is a wonder ... beach access just across A1A, a five-minute walk from the sites near the entrance. The far end of the grounds but up against the St. John's River, perfect access for kayaking. The campground is not a resort with activities and amenities for kids. It's perfect for adults and families with older children. The pool area is nice and clean. It's quiet and sites are very private. Meant for RV campers, the bathhouse is clean but in need of updating. If guests have their own RV facilities, this is not an issue and the bathhouse is fine, if you need it. The location is just a short drive from the downtown and tourist areas, with Publix nearby. Everything you could possibly need is nearby. read more

Facilities up front were dirty. Good location. Site was level but trash was around when we got there, had to clean up. Trash is not convenient at all. read more

One of our favorites! Stayed here six times; good fishing; Ocean, river, most great RV RV sites, Short walking distance to three good restaurants. Good staff, good cable TV, pool, Would give Five stars except for bath houses; Need to be upgraded & cleaner. read more

We have stayed here three times this summer and have had a great experience every time. The staff is funny and so helpful, the sites are large and private. Fishing was great off the dock and the beach was right across the street. We have recommended this place to everyone we know with campers and Rvs. We plan on being back next summer. Thank you! read more

This place is beautiful! 2 minute walk to intercoastal and 5 minutes walk to beach! Clean, air conditioned and cozy restrooms. Plugs at my tent site for charging and water spicket for the dog. Also there is laundry facilities right next to the restrooms. Great place. $55.00 a night for a tent site. Friendly staff too. read more

Good bang for buck.It needs a few upgrades maybe some Wi-Fi. Otherwise nice and quiet camping resort. Would recommend to family and friends. Except for sight #4 which floods when it rains. read more

no concern for the safety of their customers staying there. no refunds for leaving early due to severe thunderstorms with possible tornados. stayed in Oct and left out on day 3 of 6 days due to the forecast of possible tornados for the area. That night after i left there was 37 tornado warning with one just south of the resort, but as management told me it didn't hit there so no refund. i ask what was i to do sit outside and watch for a tornado and when i see it hook up and try and out run it? and then i ask what was more important the Almighty Dollar or the Safety of the people staying there and they hung up on me. read more

Been coming to North Beach for years, this year was all set and planned, RV rented and friends going, etc. family was ready and excited. Well, My wife went into labor and water broke 2 months before due date. I called rv and canceled and they said good luck and refunded 500$ deposit. North beach said sorry we don't refund. I said I didn't plan this and we are in hospital currently making nicu arrangements with a 2 month premi baby. They offered to hold a spot for 2020 but no refund.... I'm a business owner and would give a refund in a heartbeat. 80$ don't break me at all. Principal.... what do you do for your loyal customers???? Prior to booking think about this one. read more

Love this place!! Best location for accessing the beach (which is quiet and clean), or the St John River. Amazing sunset views and nice spacious sites read more

We enjoy this campground for it's location in between the river and the ocean. It is also a 15 drive into the downtown St Aug historic district. We've been coming to this campground 2-3 times every year for about 5 years running. Although we enjoy the sites and the location, we've noticed that the maintenance and care to the campground overall has really been lacking. The main building is an eyesore and if we didn't know this was a cool place to stay; it would be a giant turnoff. There is really no WiFi anywhere in campground apart from the offices even though website advertises free WiFi. Things are broken a lot and the staff don't seem to care and have said "they won't spend the money" to update. I feel like the overall customer/guest experience has gone downhill over these last few years but I hope they can turn that around by spending a little money to improve the basics things like laundry, pool maintenance, bathrooms etc. read more

Beware they have no problem keeping your deposit even though there Is a named tropical storm Nestor out there now. Expect very heavy rain all weekend. I asked for a future credit as I live local and would use the Camp anytime. Oh well that's the strict on flexible rule. So they lose any future stays there by me.....that's a lot more then the $68 there keeping. read more

We keep coming back here because the beach and river are amazing and beautiful! However, the facilities are very old and show it. There are always a couple of laundry machines out of order in each area, the bathrooms are intermittently very unclean, and they still haven't added WiFi. I'm assuming they get away with luxury pricing because of the location and don't feel the need to update. They could do so much better! read more

Always a family oriented place to camp. They have a store, free coffee and hot chocolate, pool river to go fishing at, beach across the road. All of their personnel are always very friendly and helpful. read more

We stayed here in March and while the water was cold the trip was amazing. The campsites were clean or well as clean as the outdoors can be haha! The laundry area and bathrooms were clean and well kept up. The restaurants linked to the campsite were fantastic. Friendly customer service and over all great atmosphere. read more

What a wonderful campground. Gals in office were great and a nice restaurant right next door. Situated between the intercostal and the ocean. Huge site with lots of privacy. Nice pool and spa. Very close to all St Augustine attractions. read more

North Beach Camp Resort - Huge sites! - Campgrounds Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

Very disappointed in our recent stay.  Campsite had trash, dog feces and some other items I would not care to identify.  Campers to our west partied until 2am - loud music and very drunk / rowdy.  Saw multiple instances of large dogs you identify as 'not allowed' onsite.  And SO many golf carts with kids driving made it dangerous to walk anywhere - especially the beach or pool   At nearly $100 a night, I was certainly expecting better. read more

Family of five with a travel trailer. The sites are nice and some are semi- private. We were next to a road at the side of the campground, but didn't really have a problem with the noise. The beach access across the road is unusable right now- hurricane damage. You could slide down the sand cliff if you really wanted, but I had three kids with me. So, we went to the park a mile down the road that has beach access with a pedestrian walkway above the road. The swimming pool at this resort was large and heated. My only complaint is that the hot tub is not hot. They use the pool water for the hot tub- I asked. There is a small playground a few yards from the pool. Two restaurants are close by, but we didn't dine in them. Had beach access been easy and hot tub been hot, I would have given this place a higher rating. read more
