Rent an RV near St. Augustine, FL. Camp on Anastasia Island or up the coast road, then leave the rig at the Riberia Street lot and walk the old town.


Camping here is good, split between the barrier island, the coast road north and quieter ground south.
Anastasia State Park: Across the Bridge of Lions onto the island, every one of 139 pads wired and plumbed, waste disposal included, 38 feet the upper limit. Concerts next door run audibly until the ten o'clock curfew.
St. Augustine Beach KOA: Also on the island, full connections on 30 and 50 amp, drive through sites described as big rig friendly.
North Beach Camp Resort: North on the coast road, thirty wooded acres between ocean and Intracoastal, full connections.
Faver-Dykes State Park: Downstream south on Pellicer Creek, thirty still pads under hardwood, both hookups plus waste disposal, roughly 35 feet at most.
State sites release eleven months out and vanish fast, so book far ahead.
Trying to work out where to leave a long rig while you walk the old town? Contact the Jacksonville RV Rentals team.
The historic district is roughly a mile by half a mile and built for walking, with a Spanish coquina fortress at the waterfront, a pedestrian street of shops and courtyards running through the colonial core, and two Gilded Age hotels turned into a museum and a college. An archaeological park marks the founding site north of the center. Almost everything charges admission, and parking downtown is paid throughout.

Small travel trailers, large bunkhouse trailers, Class B camper vans and Class A and Class C motorhomes are all on the Jacksonville RV Rentals rental list, and extended bookings are possible. Openings turn over quickly in high season. The decision that matters here is not the rig but where you leave it. The historic district is compact, pedestrian and ringed by paid parking in ordinary parking spaces, so the workable pattern is to camp on the island or up the coast road, then park once at the designated oversized vehicle lot on Riberia Street and walk in. That lot is free during the day and charges overnight, though sleeping in it is not permitted. Ask the team what suits.

We had the most incredible experience with Jacksonville RV Rentals! My family drove through 17 states - from Florida all the way up to New England and back - and their RV was perfect for us!!
