I never stay here but it is on base. I park in front of the park and watch the view at lunch. It's very nice. Great scenery, right next to the beach, but you will need access to the base to get to it.
Facilities was very poorly kept clean, bathrooms was filthy. Neither the camp host or the MWR staffs was doing it's job properly.
Great views and very clean. Quite very early in the night, best part free laundry!
Great location with beautiful ocean views. Host seems to be a great guy. What more could you want.
Great Ocean view campsite. Beach in easy walking distance. Clean laundry and restroom. Helpful staff.
Wife and I have stayed here a few times and loved it. The views of the water with the ships make it a great place of rest and relaxation. Only draw back us the wind makes it almost impossible to put out your awning.
Located on Mayport Naval Station, Pelican Roost RV Park sits right on the water, mere feet from the naval basin as it merges with the mouth of the Saint Johns River east of Jacksonville, FL. From the majority of the RV sites you can see the basin, the river, and the Atlantic Ocean! The naval ships come and go right in your virtual front yard, their majesty and pride glowing! Pictures cannot do it justice, but there are many chances daily to try.
Be sure to bring your most comfortable lawn chairs to join in the pastime of ship watching, ranging from all kinds of navy ships and coast guard cutters, including even some amazing foreign navy ships, to immense commercial cargo ships and even cruise ships. Private boats and yachts are a constant background traffic, and shrimp boats coming in with overflowing hauls are fun to watch with their halo of scavenging seagulls.
But I think almost best of all are the constant parade of dolphins as they come and go, playing in small and larger groups. I've seen more than I could count at times.
A beautiful sandy beach awaits a short walk from Pelican Roost, and entertainment as well as dining of all types are minutes away.
The facilities are spotless, the staff super helpful and friendly, and the laundry room is free to all guests. Five stars across the board here!
Pelican Roost is an unparalleled RVing experience, and to any military family, active or veteran, I say this is a must-visit RV park. Call 6 months out, as it fills fast and stays that way. You'll want to make this a regular stay on your calendar, I promise!
Beautiful spot right on the St. John's River.
This is a beautiful RV park where you are so close to the channel where US Navy ships and all kinds of commercial and Cruise ships pass in front of the park. A wonderful, close to the ocean, golf course, and all of the amenities at Mayport Naval Station. Don
Great location and excellent views of the st. Johns river and the ocean. Facilities on base are nice. Staff is friendly and helpful. Dogs are allowed on the beach and there is a dog park.
On the water, the hospitality is great, secure on the base. Most all you need in one place.
