First time at Pelican Roost in Mayport. Enjoyed the park, beach, and the base. The RV park had VERY clean restrooms with showers and, most of all, free laundry for its occupants, and the staff was very courteous and knowledgeable. Also enjoyed the surrounding beaches, restaurants and views. Our only drawback was the tropical storm/hurricane Debby that was headed that way, so we had to cut our trip short. Otherwise, we will definitely visit again.

We absolutely loved this park. We've been traveling full time in our 5th Wheel and truck. Somehow we snagged a spot along the Rivers Edge. The bathroom was always spotless. We had free Coffee in the AM and free ice! My retired Veteran's only complaint, on Memorial Day, the flag by the office was not at half staff.

Once again we enjoyed our stay! Lucky to get a last minute reservation on our return trip South so close to 4th of July. Park Hosts, Barbara & Jorge were helpful. Sites are all level and clean. All sites are Back-in. Not much shade. Pelican Roost RV Park faces St. John’s River and you can see the Fleet at Mayport Naval Station. A beautiful sight to see. You can walk to the Beach, about 1/4 mile hike, but I suggest driving your car there. It’s right on the Base. Don’t forget to visit PIE HEAVEN off Base not too far away down the road. Discounts for Vets! “Thrift Store” located on Base was closed when we were there but always a fun place to visit. Since my Husband is a Vietnam Vet we are qualified to stay and we also visited the Commissary and NEX Store. Laundry Room open 24 hours at no cost. One of the Washers was not working properly. No “Out of Order” sign was posted even tho’ it has been reported. Very frustrating… took way too long to complete a cycle, so beware. It’s the one on the end!

Excellent staff. Will work with you on late arrivals or trip interrupted mechanical delays for as long as they can. Beautiful views of ship traffic on the ST. John's river. Just an absolute great experience. THANKS! (Did i mention they have a phenomenal staff at the desk???).

I really enjoyed tent camping here. Very quiet and peaceful, beautiful spot. Even during the summer, it was a nice spot with the tree coverage. Unfortunately due to a verbal altercation between a camper and a host (who has been there for three consecutive rotations), the tent site has been permanently shut down. Even though the host was also at fault for the altercation and was being verbally aggressive, the camper as well as other campers at the time, were told the site would be closing down. One of the front desk personnel even said herself: it’s just not worth the headache to keep the tent site open - even though the host was just as at fault BUT NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE, along with said host operating a laundry cleaning service utilizing the MWR laundry facility as well as MWR staff using the same machines during their working shift. Update: The tent site has been PERMANENTLY closed, and the tent camping area is being turned into another recreation area for RV patrons. At least the area will go to good use even though the only patrons MWR Mayport cares about is people with RVs. Very sad to see all these bases that claim to care about veteran to be closing off some accesses that used to be available to veterans. They say they take all incidents seriously, but there is obvious favoritism towards the hosts over the patrons - even when the host involved was absolutely in the wrong and other patrons witnessed the altercation. Being fair would have been to ALSO hold the host just as accountable but no, the decision was to kick out ALL campers instead, and the host still resides as a host to this day. Talk about being unbiased and fair right?
