Just Outside Of St. Augustine's Historic District Sits One Of Florida's Best RV Resorts

Looking to explore the open road with your family and enjoy the great outdoors in an RV? Want a chance to unwind and connect to the serene beauty of nature? Traveling by RV continues to be on trend because of its flexibility, cost-savings, and eco-friendly impact. Whether you're new to the RV life or a seasoned pro, check out Ocean Grove RV Resort in St. Augustine for a unique Florida experience. 

Named one of the top campgrounds in the U.S. in 2024 by Campspot, Ocean Grove RV Resort offers a family-friendly, idyllic place to vacation highlighted with all of the most desirable amenities. If you have an RV or prefer to stay in a park model home, Ocean Grove Resort gives you the best of both worlds. Near the calming waters of St. Augustine Beach, Ocean Grove RV Resort features a range of accommodations to best suit your needs. In addition to full-hookup RV sites, you can choose from park model homes that feature 400 square feet of cozy living space with a separate bedroom, fully-equipped kitchen, and flat-screen TV. RV sites offer electricity, water, and cable hookups, and prices start as low as $50 per night. Park model home rentals are naturally more expensive, but the nightly rate decreases dramatically the longer you stay and can get down to as low as around $100 per night if you stay for weeks. For shorter trips, expect to pay over $200 per night for a park model home. Weekly or monthly rentals are available, too.

At the resort, there are plenty of activities for your family adventure that will create cherished memories. Swim in the large heated pool, go fishing at a private dock, and play basketball, bocce ball, or horseshoe. Kids will have a ball at the on-site playground. At the end of your day, dine in style at the Ebb Tide Poolside Bar and Grill, which also hosts nightly family activities and live music.

Historic downtown St. Augustine awaits your exploration approximately 6 miles from Ocean Grove Resort. America's oldest city was founded in 1565 by Spanish explorer Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles. The center of the historic area is The Plaza de la Constitución, a National Historic Landmark, which has been a meeting place for centuries. Within the historic district are the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine, Trinity Episcopal Church, and the Governor's House Cultural Center & Museum. All are within easy walking distance and open to the public with free admission.

Spend some time in the plaza and check out the live entertainment and public market. Learn more about civil rights history as you walk in the footsteps of the civil rights leader at the Andrew Young Crossing. Canons, statues, and monuments that line the plaza describe historic moments and make for great photo ops. 

If you're hungry, check out the numerous restaurants in the area. You may be surprised that St. Augustine's cuisine has been inspired by Spanish, European, and African traditions. One of the area's most popular restaurants is the award-winning Columbia Restaurant, a few minutes from the plaza. Enjoy Spanish-Cuban cuisine and be sure to order the 1905 Salad, freshly prepared at your table, and the Cuban sandwich, made of ham, salami, cheese, and spices. Another dining recommendation is The Floridian, known for its southern comfort food and vegetarian options. Crispy fried green tomatoes and the south-east fried chicken sandwich are delectable choices. For spectacular sunsets, take a walk and cross the Bridge of Lions, considered the icon of the city that connects St. Augustine with Anastasia Island. It will make a perfect ending to your visit to America's oldest city.
