There's nothing 'smiling' about this park. Giving it a 1 star review is generous! It rained for 2 straight days two times when we stayed at the park and generally gave a new meaning to "waterfront property" in 90% of the lots! I wish I had read the February 2022 review first (bad) before booking a lot for March 2022. It is spot on! One RV'er who has been coming here for some time said the previous owner at least tried to better the park. The new owner hasn't done any improvement since Jun 2021. I wouldn't be surprised if the new owner was just in it for the revenue. I heard he's a hot head and would say "if you don't like it... leave". Even a barber in St. Augustine knew of the conditions here. What does that tell you? If you're thinking about coming to Smiling Gator RV don't say you weren't warned! Happy trails... from frustrated and disappointed camper.
Location location location ‼️ that is what this RV park has going for it. Minutes from st Augustine attractions, minutes from shopping , minutes from highway. This is the second time we have stayed here. Buddy, the manager ,is a rock star. Kind helpful. The new owners have slightly improved the roads. It is safe, quiet, a little run down, no frills RV site. We will stay here again if we are in this area. Location location location.
Offers both long and short term stays. New owners are making improvements. It is quiet, neighbors are friendly or keep to themselves. Convenient to many restaurants and local attractions.
I love this place. The people are very nice and what I love is it's nice and quiet. Oh and so close to all the stores and the beautiful historical town of St Augustine.
