What a lovely place to camp. The beach is walking distance from all sites and nearly deserted; my kind of beach. The sites are spacious and the views perfect. Im heading back there tomorrow.

Beautiful campground wake up and watch the boats come and go. So peaceful . Got to see the full moon over the water. All the amenities W/E/S 50 amp and laundry.

Beautiful views, Nice level sites. Bath house and laundry are clean and nice.

This was THE best place weve ever stayed, hands down!The MWR employees are some of the most genuine and kind people we have ever met. They made checking in a breeze and answered all of our questions.The views are simply amazing--we watched ships, tugs and dolphins all day. Theres incredible fishing from the breakwall as well.The park is extremely tidy, and a camp host in always available if you have any issues. Security patrols the park so we felt extremely safe leaving fishing poles, our Yeti and grill outside.The larger shower house and bathroom has AC (a godsend in August!) And the smaller bathroom does not have AC but both are extremely convenient for all campers at Pelicans Roost.The biggest BONUS was the free washer and dryers for registered campers to use! They are accessible until 9:45pm and this was a perk that I was so grateful for!There is free wifi, and if you want to rent a bike or kayak, Outdoor Adventures is right around the corner as is the NEX, the Bowling Alley (which delivers pizza if youre hungry!)There are an alloted 10 spaces for tent camping, but those have no water or electric.We loved the fact that there was a central dog park area (one for smaller breeds and one for larger dogs) complete with a mini obstacle course and doggy poo cleanup bags located throughout the area, so its extremely clean and hygienic.The beach access from Pelicans Roost is a shirt walk, but having access to a private beach is a perk. You can bring your dogs as long as they remain on a leash and you clean up after them. I highly recommend getting up early enough to watch the sunrise at the beach! It made every day absolutely perfect!Just know, the there are NO FIRES permitted at Pelicans Roost so if you have your heart set of sitting next to a campfire and roasting marshmallows, jusy be aware that isnt gonna happen. I will say that with the evening breeze, the mosquitos were minimal and you truly dont even miss having a campfire! Its a joy to be outside!Hands down, this is one of MWRs hidden gems! We will be back!!!

To get on need be Active Duty or Retired Military. This is a nice camping area. 47 sites for class A, Class C, 5th Wheel, Travel Trailer, 30 & 50 Amp, water, sewer, cable, WiFi, laundry, clubhouse. This is on Naval Base Mayport. Tent camping too.

Great RV park near the beach. Level sites, nice views. Short walk to the beach. Dog park and picnic area.

Super awesome park! Friendly attentive staff, super clean bathrooms, showers, and laundry facility - and very accommodating! They staff helped keep us from having to move from one park to another - it was very much appreciated!!

This is one of our top three favorite RV parks. Staff are friendly and accommodating. The park itself is well maintained and cared for by two camp hosts to call on when outside of regular office hours. Before covid, there was a great ice machine you could help yourself to 24 hours a day. There is a free laundry facility available until 10 pm.

This place was awesome. Wish we could have stayed longer. Great staff and facilities.

One of the nicest parks we have stayed at. Waterfront site with a beautiful few. Staff was very friendly.

Extremely nice very well kept grounds

Awesome place to stay. Free laundry too.

Beautiful full hookup rv park! Stunning views!Very nice laundromat! Such a wonderful stay! We will definitely be back!

A nice place to stay (we stayed for 3 days), quiet, clean, and something you will see a cargo ship or USN ship go by the water front. Some people go fishing. Nice place for active and retired armed forces services for downtime. This is 2nd to the best military park we have been for retired and active service men and women. And this is our second time in this rv park. Love it.

Great little spot with access to the St. Johns River jetties. Pavillions across the street with tables and can be reserved for a BBQ or birthday party. They just fenced an area in so you can let your dog off leash, and run around with other dogs or just play some fetch. Great prices and staff, I highly recommend if you have base access...

Beautiful! Free Laundry. Fishing North of pier 4. In front of our site. #5, a guy was fishing for crabs using a chicken bone. Lol, he caught a lot.

Beautifully scenic. Great pull thru sites. Easy hook up and dump per site. Picnic table per site, feral cats roaming,sites very close together. Club house closed, showers.

The park is nice...full hook ups (water, sewage, and 50/30 amp) and level concrete site with some pull-throughs that are huge. The view are spectacular!

Seems to be a very popular stop for exmilitary people to camp out. Great views of Huguenot and incoming barge ships.

Great amenities for a great price. Wonderful views.

This is a beautiful small military park right on the ocean with a nice walk. I found shells even though there is no beach persay. They wash up and I am a collector. There is a small dog park and lots of room to walk. It is quiet and quaint.

Great location. Clean facilities. Free laundry. Water views. 🧡

What an incredible location on naval station mayport. Right at the mouth of the St. John’s river with plenty of beach to hangout and enjoy the surf. Friendliest group of people I’ve ever encountered as well. We were able to get a full hook up site we could see the ocean from for 20 a night. Can’t beat it.

Our favorite campground. The ship traffic passing right in front of the campground is awesome and a beautiful deserted beach is 1/4 mile down the street. Friendly staff and campers. Free laundry room.

Pro: Excellent campground with wonderful view of St. John’s River as it empties into the Atlantic. About a two minute walk to the jetty to fish and about 10 min walk to the beautiful beach. Free washer/drier. Staff friendly and helpful.Con: raised the price where it is now more expensive then the country park campground next door, and they eliminated their free WiFi.

Can not say enough about this place. So thankful we stayed here.

Great place with good customer service, nice neighbors, great view on the beach! It has a free and neat laundry room. Not like Hannah park campgrounds ..

Every spot was filled and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. They just need to do something about the rest rooms on the east end of the RV park.

Full hook ups, free laundry, decent wifi, and beach access within walking distance.

Wheel chair shower floor creakup. Plastic creaked

What a great place to camp in our RV. Walking distance (1/2 mile) to Atlantic Ocean. Office staff very nice and helpful. Clean restroom and laundry area. Will definitely go back. Had fun watching the big ships go down Blount Island.

Very 👌 close up view of ships passing by. Nice ocean breeze. Hope to return in future

Nice site, friendly staff, beautiful private beach access

Nice place to stay right on the bay. Clean amenities, and safe environment

Visited friends staying there. Very clean and well kept grounds. Beautiful views of the river.

Great place to kick back and enjoy nature.

Great views and the people where very helpful

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. Ive 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. Youll want to make this a regular stay on your calendar, I promise!Please hit Like if this review was helpful for you. Many thanks! 👍

Our go-to spot for weekend getaways. Love watching the ships and seeing the occasional dolphin. Close to the beach, great dog park too.

Its a beautiful park, everyone is very friendly. Its really very hard to get a spot!!! We took the four days that were available though we would have loved more time here. Hopefully next trip.

Peaceful, clean, convenient and safe.I was able to get some much needed rest. Ill be back

Nice area, close to the water. Must have military ID, or veterans ID.

I dont have an RV, Im not a huge camper, and Ive actually never stayed at this park, but I sat here for lunch one time and I have to say it seriously made me consider getting an RV and the view was very serene.

Great place for rv parking for Military.On base near ocean, view on the inlet.On base so not many restaurant choices unless you go off base. Ocean is about a 1/4 mile walk.Great fishing on the rocks or shore fishing at the ocean.Rental place on base for most outdoor gear, kayaks, boats, anf more.

One of favorite camping locations. Pics here are at the beach on base.

Great location for doing anything around Mayport. Don’t bring anything you don’t want rusting. The ocean spray is 70 ft away.Decent pull-throughs. Currently ongoing construction during the week. Don’t plan on sleeping in if you’re a light sleeper.You may hear colors from the ships.Free laundry, but only 4 washers.Full kitchen is nice, if you remember to use it.They stay pretty booked up, keep calling though.

Great Rv park.

We stayed 3 nights. Had a great view , watching the carriers and boats. About 1/2 mile from the beach. Easy to bike or walk to. Laundry is free ! Outdoor pool with waterslide is located by the Navy lodge. Commissary and NEX is 1 mile off main gate. Everything is conveniently located and easy to find. We will definitely return.

You cant beat the view from the front row! October breeze!!!

Nice! Not a Public RV Park.

Great spot. Right on river. Beautiful!!

Campground is on the Saint Johns River and a short walk to the Atlantic ocean and the beach. From your campsite you can watch the Naval ships and container ships come and go. Full hookups for campers to include cable.

Beautiful place to relax and enjoy a good by yourself or with your loved ones. Walking distance to the beach super fun fenced in Dog park !You will not regret it!

Very nice park on Mayport Navy Base. Great views, fresh air and sunshine. We are regular visitors there.

Helpful employees at check in. Peaceful location.

I arrived on Thursday to camp until Sunday. Tried to get a spot. They said there was no open spots on the roost side and had to stay in the cove spot instead. The hole time I was here at the cove they had 4 spots empty on the roost side and wouldn’t fill them don’t understand. Also the lady on the roost side was very unfriendly. I also put out my flags for our President and was told I had to take down be cause they said they where divisive and wasn’t allowed. I never thought a Navy base wouldn’t support our President of United States. What a shame.

Great park, for military and retired military.

Beautiful, quiet and peaceful. Absolutely love this campground.

Very nice. Had cement pads.

Love love!

Fill hook up cable was good price was awesome washer fryers free very well kept right on the water

It was a great view and great facilities! Cool to watch ships come and go! Only negative was spotty wifi depending on location.

Beautiful site, wonderful hosts, free laundry and everything was wonderful. Another great military RV base, thank you!!

The best Vacation spot ever !

Nice but Windy when I was there..

Very nice campground.... wonderful views of the ships and tankers going in and out of the harbor. Sites are nice, not on top of one another. Facilities are clean. The only negative thing is that the Old Boys Network is alive and well here. We were told that you need to reserve front row sites up to 6 months in advance...... not so if you know someone working, hosting at the campground. We couldnt have a spot up front cause they were all reserved.... we watched a camper come in, chat with the host, laughing and pointing to the empty front row sites.... guess who pulled right in....yup, buddy/pal. Not sure what the hosts do here besides late check-ins, we were in the site right next door to them and neither one of two hosts acknowledged us as we sat outside. Not even a hello.

Great location on the water and very clean.

Very nice, clean, great view of the water and the ships coming and going....

It is a wonderful RV park. Great scenery and good people

Awesome RV Park!! Nice sites. Incredible views of ship traffic. Lovely Roost for projects, big screen tv, full service kitchen. Friendly staff, clean laundry facilities, great showers.

Nice RV park. Friendly staff. Very clean.

Awesome facility right on the atlantic.

We really enjoyed our stay! Great RV Park. Very clean restrooms, laundry room, and sites.The staff were very friendly and helpful.Pet friendly, lots of places to walk dogs with a great view of the Jetty and the Ships.Fishing is allowed off of the Jetty.

Great camp and great people. Doesnt get any better.

It is highly unprofessional to hear one of the female staff members complain and speak ill about customers when she gets off the phone, to her co-workers and to herself. It has happened more than a few times in the minutes I spent at the clubhouse. This makes me question what else is being said by the staff, once customers leave, probably nothing good.Other than that its nice that they have a laundry facility at the RV park, as well as a dog park within walking distance and clean restrooms.

Very nice and clean park, the staff is very friendly. Very nice, clean laundry room with adequate # of machines, free to use. I didnt use their showers or bathrooms, but they looked clean. Lots of fishing, beach on the ocean, you can watch the big ships come and go and you can by ice cream for $1.00 😀 daily during office hours. Id definitely come back!!!

Love this place! You can sit in the front of your camper and watch boats go by! Peaceful and relaxing. Office and amenities clean and well kept!

Nice clean level with exceptional views

Great camping area

Great location, great services.

They have the largest pull through of any RV park that we have been to.

Loved our stay. Its clean well maintained and quiet. The view is awesome. We stayed two weeks in the first row for the beautiful view. Cant say enough good about it.

We love going here it feels like our 2nd home when I have to go to the Mayo clinic for my treatments we enjoy the beach and enjoy playing bingo

This is definitely a park I would return to - easy in and out sites for larger fifth wheel and Class A’s - great view of the port and there is a beach within walking distance. Ssssh 😁Friendly staff and nice location

We were in first row! Lots of activity to observe. Beach is a short walk. Great bath housr. Warm reception upon arrival

We stayed in 1 of 3 cabins on the property. Spotlessly clean and very nice. Staff was great and friendly. Nice big deck outside with a couple of chairs. Beds were comfortable, the pull out couch was not great, but I never met one that was, lol. Nice drive on beach with fishing . Close to beaches and lots of great restaurants.

Great place. Military access only. Great place if you like water views, sun, beaches and fishing.

It was a lovely campground very quiet. Very very quiet. If thats what you like then its for you. The restrooms were awesome. I would definitely go there again.

This is our second time staying here and we really enjoy it here. The staff is really friendly and professional. Although waterfront pads are hard to come by all sites have a great view of the ocean. Another plus is the beach is less than half a mile away. Definitely on our favorite list.

Great Rv Park, You can watch dolphins and if you like to go to the gym its right next to it.

This was the nicest RV park weve ever experienced. Prior to Pelican Roost, we had rated Disneys Fort Wilderness as the best, but Pelican Roost beats Fort Wilderness for the spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean and associated U.S. Naval and commercial ship traffic, the well-maintained and clean facilities, and the friendliness of the staff.Kudos to all of you at Pelican Roost!

This was our second visit. We were on the front row. Loved watching the dolphins as much as the ships. Dog friendly; we used the new dog park.The only downside is that you need to make reservations very early. It is windy; we had to pull our slideouts in two nights. The view makes it worth it.

Ive called, left messages, get no call backs. Voice mailbox is full now. If someone does answer the phone, they cant tell me when they have spots available. You must have to know someone to make reservations for this park. Great disservice to our military and families. UNSAT

Great place

Very clean and well maintained. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Enjoy staying there whenever we are in Florida.

Super military campground! Nice coastal location with fishing right across the road and Atlantic Beach access a 5 minute walk away. Very clean facilities and nice clubhouse (The Roost) with several activities throughout the month. Note that NS Mayport tries to use their other campground at Osprey Cove for long term stays.

Very nice 👍 quiet place 👍 to see the ships come and go. Lots of sunshine and a really friendly staff. I will stay here again.

I never stay here but it is on base. I park in front of the park and watch the view at lunch. Its very nice. Great scenery, right next to the beach, but you will need access to the base to get to it.

Such a good view

We love this park. Staff is great. This is the best RV park we have camped at in our 15 years of camping. The price, atmosphere and other campers are friendly. OMG the veiw!!! Watching boats, Navy ships, Cruise ships and commercial ships go by. Love this park, thats why we keep returning.
