RV & Boat Storage in Jacksonville, FL

How to choose RV or boat storage

• Measure first. Use overall length including the hitch/tongue and any rear rack, and height including A/C units, antennas or a boat tower. Ask whether the listed space size is the usable length.
• Covered vs. enclosed vs. open. A canopy blocks sun and hail; an enclosed garage also blocks dust, wind and prying eyes. Decide based on how long the rig sits and what you'd otherwise spend on covers and repairs.
• Power. “Electric” usually means a low-amp outlet for a battery tender, not a full hookup. Ask about amperage, extra fees, and whether running a fridge or A/C is allowed.
• Access. Check gate hours against when you actually leave for trips. Early departures and late returns matter.
• Security. Look for perimeter fencing, coded entry and exit, cameras that record, lighting and an on-site manager. Ask what their insurance requires of you.
• Maneuvering. Pull-through spaces and wide paved aisles make big rigs and solo parking much easier.
• Extras. Dump station, water fill, wash bay, air and propane can save a stop on every trip.
• Contract terms. Ask about minimum terms, admin fees, deposits, required insurance, documents (registration/title) and how rate increases work.
• Waitlists. Popular covered sizes can sell out. Ask to be added to a waitlist and when spaces usually open up.

Jacksonville-specific tips

• Want a roof over your rig? Covered space is scarcer here than uncovered. Jax Boat & RV Storage has some covered spaces, and RecNation has canopy spaces in St. Johns, Ponte Vedra Beach and Yulee, though several canopy sizes were sold out when we checked. For fully enclosed storage, look at Super Toys Storage's climate-controlled warehouse or RecNation's indoor garages on Old Dixie Hwy in Ponte Vedra Beach. Southern Boat & RV Storage in Yulee contradicts itself on covered spots, so ask before you sign.
• Launching on the St. Johns River? H & B is under a mile from the Tommy Hazouri Sr. Park ramp in Mandarin, Doctors Inlet RV-Boat Storage is near the Doctors Inlet ramp, and Black Creek Boat & RV Storage says it's near a boat ramp too. For the Intracoastal, Palm Cove Marina's dry storage includes unlimited forklift launches.
• Need power to keep batteries charged? Super Toys has 110-volt hookups for trickle charging. Nassau Boat & RV rents 30-amp power for an extra fee, and some covered spaces at Jax Boat & RV have electrical hookups. Atlantic Self Storage on Shad Rd lists power in units, and several RecNation sites list power at the facility, so ask which spaces have it.
• Big rigs: Philips RV & Boat Storage rents 12 ft wide spaces up to 80 ft but keeps a waitlist for its 49, 53 and 80 ft spaces, and Bulls Bay has outdoor spaces up to 80x16 ft. Nassau's 12 ft wide spaces go up to 55 ft.
• Look for discounts. Philips advertised its first full month free (until Nov 13, 2026, with a 3-month minimum) plus a military discount. Nassau takes 10% off for military and first responders and gives the last month free on a prepaid year, Doctors Inlet gives a month free on a prepaid year, and Black Creek takes 5% off annual prepay.
• Hurricane season runs June through November. Nassau Boat & RV describes its Yulee site as hurricane resistant, but ask any operator what happens to stored rigs when a storm is coming, and check what your insurance covers. Black Creek and Palm Cove Marina both require you to carry insurance.
