Pelican Roost RV Park

Another great visit to Pelican Roost! This has to be the "TOP" Famcamp in the DOD. You can't beat the views no matter what site your in. The ships coming and going, military and civilian, and the beach, are a bonus to this campground. Great rates, free ice and laundry, awesome staff, clean bath house, pancake breakfast, ice cream socials,and camping with your veteran brothers and sisters, what more could you ask for. You have to experience this campground!

This wonderful campground has set the bar for other military and civilian campgrounds for us. Great beach setting with an awesome staff. Debbie in the office and Wayne and George as the camp hosts are great. The grounds guy stays up on the grass cutting and the laundry room is always clean. They do a great job sticking to the occupancy rules so no one homesteads. From talking with the other campers who return often they all agree this a wonderful place. Easy access to the commissary and exchange. An excellent state of the art fitness center within walking distance. At $19 a night ($23 for front row which offers an unobstructed water view) with electric, cable, wifi, free ice, free laundry, level concrete pad and a great water view watching the ships come and go, who can complain. Certainly not us. We love this place!

A great place to visit. Quiet, well kept, Camp Host and Staff very friendly and helpful. The Kitchette was great to have access to and use. Ice Cream Social was a nice touch. The views are excellent along with the price. Will stay here again. We stayed at Pelican Roost with a 40' DE.

This is a beautiful park in a great location. There's a lot to see and do on this base. Although it's interesting that the commisary and exchange are located off the base.

Quite a bit of construction on the roads and interior of the base. They are widening Massey Road to what looks like a second lane for egress of traffic onto Mayport Road. New Logistic Support building going up also and dredging continues in the basin. Very few ships in port but did get to see a submarine arrive and depart while here and that is not something we get to see often. RV Park is full and as soon as someone departs later in the day it is filled. No overflow sites here just a few dry camping in the back. There is a new casino boat and it looks much improved over the last one. Cable TV has expanded since we were here so those of you who use it you will be pleasantly surprised all the choices you have. Still our favorite military campground and we have been coming here since it opened and maybe when we hit the West Coast in 2016 we may find one to top Pelican Roost.

An absolute must stay. The family decided to make a last minute trip to visit family in Jacksonville and we were very fortunate to get a water front site. This RV site is a treasure and reasonably priced is an understatement. The staff are extremely friendly and professional making our stay that more enjoyable. Definitely will recommend to all our military friends and family, as well as making a favorite. Truly amazing experience.

We have stayed here a couple of times before this and still think this is one of the best RV campgrounds in the entire military. The location is great. If you can get it, it is well worth the $2 extra a night to be on the front row right on the water. We made late plans and had a back row site that was still great. Sites are level, full hook ups and a short walk to the clubhouse/office and laundry. The laundry is free and facility has plenty of room with 4 washers and dryers. As Tricare Standard patients, we had no problems getting free pharmacy refills and a free flu shot. Wonderful place and a very friendly staff. 200 yards away from the newest/best gym and swimming facility in the military. We can not wait to go back.

We had a water front site and had a great time. The facilities were immaculate and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. We are looking forward to returning next spring.

Fantastic! Superb management and great folks working the office and grounds. Park no longer has the gestapo surveillance attitude from 4 or 5 years ago yet the grounds are spotless and the park calm and peaceful. The location and facilities are 1st class.

ABSOLUTELY stay here if you pass through the Jacksonville area. Campground was really full but we had a nice long level pad to sit on. Facilities and "lodge" were perfect, nice large laundry room looked brand new and the price was free to wash and dry! With a large capacity washer we were able to wash a few blankets.
