Myself and my Wife spent an extended stay at 4 lakes campground while looking for real estate in the area. Just a quick note So no-one is confused It is not a campground. As represented, There is absolutely no camping and it is not a Rv Resort. by definition it is a Rv Park. because of the limited amenities and accommodations.
The one major serious concern that really everyone Should be aware of before staying at this The location ' It is located in a rural farming area with a Subdivision surrounding the park. Called Flagler estates. This is a subdivision which has a population of 3577 residents. Mostly small homes trailers and old RVs .
The crime rate in Flagler Estates, Violent crime in this area is 40.1, % which is more than double the US national average of 22.7. Property crime in Flagler Estates, is 45.5, % This means that individuals living in this area should be aware of their surroundings and take extra precautions when it comes to safety and security.
Also this is home to one of the highest number of sexual predators in Saint Johns Country !with 26 registered sex offenders right behind this campground.

The Owners of the park are a family Father & Son and are very friendly and cordial. But are avaricious , watching for every opportunity for increasing prices on the residence and travelers on basic, living necessities to increase profitability and maintain their own salaries from the park revenue.
The campground is basically a low maintenance bone Basic setup with gravel / shell (Coquina) sites many unleveled with a fire ring , grill and wood table. Most low end sites are 900 a month plus a 0.15. Per kilowatt electric price. Higher prices if you would like a view of the pond .Which the park refers to as lakes another questionable definition
There is very little lightning in the park the parts that are lit up at night are around the entrance and the ponds.The office is basically shut down at 5pm. And there is no one available until 900am the next day. You will very rarely see the staff checking the RV areas in the evening.
Quite time is 1000pm most of the elderly permanent residents usually are in by 800pm and get upset with any kind of loud activity's like talking ,kids playing or music playing around them. If we had visitors they would usually leave by 900pm not to upset the permanent residents.
WiFi was usually always unstable. There is cable but personally I never got the cable to work.
They have a small laundry room 4 small washers and 4 small dryers but always dirty water and a mail rack with site slots . They also have a club house which no-one really uses . It is located a good football field away from the Rv sites and plays Cracker Barrel music all day, it has a few tables and tv and a few books and games for kids. Also a children's playground. Next to it
There are no Showers or pool on the property .there are wash rooms at the club house .There is a small dog park ,but really not for large dogs way too small to throw a ball.
There is county property about 6 blocks west they have creek runoff lakes with plenty of room to run your larger dogs at or play ball...
Garbage dumpsters are near the entrance of the property. You must take your garbage there yourself to dispose of it. You need to be very careful throwing your garbage in these dumpsters the lids are usually closed and pretty heavy and awkward , extra caution should be taken especially for some of the elderly visitors with shoulder or arm ailments and small children.you could get injured very easily.
There are no events at the park or anywhere remotely nearby.
There are 2 stores within walking distance, a gas station "Buzz Mart" . Funny how they got that name lol, and a Dollar store . but I suggest you visit during daylight hours because of the area Any other stores will be a 16 to 25 mile drive one way. The same with any restaurants. read more
