Bryn Mawr Ocean Resort

Only a one-night layover, but got a perfect pull-through site. Its peak season here in February, so most site are full. A lot of permanent park models, with either full-time residents or snowbirds. Access was tight and sites are small, but fairly easy in and out. WiFi very slow. No trees so satelite access is great. Walk out the door and be on the beach . . . a great place to stay.

We could not get a spot in Anastasia State Park (a must), so we settled for Bryn Mawr Ocean Resort. Resort may be pushing it. Lots of permanent residents but sites for rent are near the beach. Plenty of room at the beach sites (although the perpendicular parking will not be easy for all)

Our site 231 backed up to the beach dunes. Private gate to the walkway puts you right on the beach. So close you can hear the waves at night. Very peaceful. Very level, all concrete site (sand streets in park) with cabana.

Park has a big easy entrance and friendly folks. About 10 minutes from St Augustine beach and 15 minutes to historic St Augustine.

We wanted to visit historic Saint Augustine and chose a spot that we could be on the beach. Half of the resort is full time residents and mobile units. The roads are very narrow so it was fun watching hubby navigate to the rear area near the water. I know seasoned RV'ers will be fine. He's a champ now! The location is very secure and you need a key card for access to the pool area, main gate and a code to access the 4 ramps to the beach! It is beautiful and clean! There weren't a lot of people there but I guess this might be off season. The main pool was large enough for hubby to do laps and he ran on the beach with no issues. We didn't use any bathrooms or laundry.

This was our first time to this park. We travel in a 33' class A. The price was a bit more than what we wanted to pay but it was worth every penny. When we booked our reservation we spoke with Renee over the phone. Simply put, she was extremely helpful and kind. Once we arrived, check-in was a breeze. I read some reviews about the roads being in poor condition but we saw none of this. The roads were even and hard packed. The site was clean and easy access. The dog park was excellent. We attended bingo night and all of the folks we met were super. One of the most surprising things to note was the condition of the bath houses. They were immaculate. Maintenance guys and gals do an excellent job. They also have a heated pool that was great and a full laundry facility that was very clean. We absolutely would stay here again. I have taken a bunch of pics that I will post as well.

Concrete pads help keep the sand out of the camper as compared to other near beach camping in the Saint Augustine area. The park itself is clean and well kept. The roads through the park are sand and they were using a tractor to take out some of the potholes on the day we arrived. There were a few good depressions on our ride in - jarring the trailer a touch. There are some turns to make in this tight-packed park, with a few of the turns showing evidence of some folks taking them too tight. The sites are close and there are not an abundance of trees or grass, but the park is overall pet friendly. Dogs are permitted on the beach, provided they remain leashed. All lots are "owned," with a fraction of them leased out. Some of the structures appear semi-permanent... likely changing hands with the owners. Sites appear to all have full hookup capacity. As for location, it is about a 10-minute ride north to get into Saint Augustine. Watch traffic apps to determine whether to take the 312/US 1 route into town, or to ride up A1A to the Bridge of Lions, as the draw-bridge can incur significant delays via the latter.

We did not use either the pool or the heated pool during our stay, nor did we avail ourselves of the recreation amenities. The bath house we used nearest the beach was clean, tiled, and adequate. The sinks are equipped with auto-off faucets which can be annoying when shaving, etc. if you choose one that short-strokes. Cell phone coverage was not awesome with AT&T, nor was the wi-fi during peak times.

Overall, I'd stay here again if in the area and a site was available. I feel like we got lucky in booking our stay on less than 48 hours notice, as the owner had just pulled out the day of our arrival, allowing us to secure the site for the night on a Daytona 500 weekend. That is the driver on the high price for a nightly stay, although this park is not cheap anyhow.

After 10 days of constant travelling and visiting whatever worth seeing we needed a pauze. Bryn Marw offert everything, great back-in spot at the Ocean site on concrete, personal deck with roof, quiet and friendly people, direct access to the beach. We njoyed a dat listening to the noise of the waves and watched the sunrise from our bed.
