If you have stayed with us at Jacksonville North / St. Marys KOA Holiday over the past few years, there is a good chance you filled out a survey, left a review, or mentioned something to the front desk on your way out. We read every one of them. This year we are finally acting on the biggest items from that list, all at once, in one large utility upgrade across our campground in Kingsland, Georgia.
This post is our way of keeping you in the loop on what is happening, what it means for your stay, and why we think it will be worth it.
The short version: we are rebuilding the plumbing and power that run under the park. That is not a glamorous thing to spend money on, but it is the thing you notice most when you plug in and hook up. Here is what the project covers.
Once it is done, more of our guests will be able to book the kind of site they have been asking us for.
Almost every piece of this project traces back to something a guest told us. More full hookups. 50 amp for the big fifth wheels and Class As. Sites that are ready for the way people camp today. We heard the same requests often enough that we stopped treating them as a wish list and started treating them as a plan.
A project like this touches nearly every road and loop in the park. We could have spread it out over several years and dug up a little bit at a time. Instead we decided to do it once, do it right, and get it behind us. That means a busier campground for a while, and a much better one when the crews pull out.
Yes. Jacksonville North / St. Marys KOA Holiday is open and taking reservations throughout the project. The pool, the restaurant, the breakfast, mini golf, the KampK9 dog park, the cabins, and the Kontainer Suite are all operating as usual. Cumberland Island, historic St. Marys, and the beaches at Amelia Island are still the same easy drive away.
What changes is that some sites in a given section may be temporarily unavailable while the crew is working there. We plan site assignments around the construction schedule, and if the work affects the site on your reservation, we will reach out ahead of time to move you to a comparable spot.
We want to be straight with you about what a work in progress looks like.
If any of this matters for your rig or your plans, call the office before you arrive. We are happy to talk through which areas are active that week and put you somewhere quiet. If you have questions once you are here, come see us. We would rather hear about it than have you go home wondering.
Nobody books a campground hoping to see a backhoe out the window. We know that. We are asking for a little grace while we get through this, and we are grateful to every guest who has already been understanding about it this season.
The whole point of this project is your next stay. The one after that, too. When you come back and pull into a full hookup site with 50 amp service, we hope you will feel like the wait was worth it.
Thank you for camping with us, for the honest feedback over the years, and for sticking with us while we put it to work. We will keep posting updates as the project moves along.

That doesn't mean this area has to always be empty. When you start reviewing camping options, your history will display here to help compare sites and find the best stay. You will be able to share your stay information with friends or family and save it for a later time if you have a KOA Account.
