Whitey’s Fish Camp, Orange Park, FL
So we made it to Florida to finish becoming Florida residents.
We had to get to Green Cove Springs, FL to do this. This is where our mail forwarding service, St. Brendan’s Isle, is and thus our address.
Needless to say, there aren’t many campgrounds around this area to choose from. Actually there’s one. Unless we want to be 40 minutes or so away.
So we chose Whitey’s Fish Camp. Just 8 miles away from where we needed to be.
Their website was interesting. It did show a couple big rigs in the lot though. So it shouldn’t be that bad. Can you pick us out in the picture above?
We’ve actually been to worse places that call themselves an RV “Resort”. Now don’t get me wrong. Whitey’s Fish Camp is not saying they are a “resort”. They have a very popular restaurant with entertainment, a boat dock that is very active and full hook-ups on semi level lots. Resort they are not, however we are close to where we need to be. So that’s all that matters to us right now.
David did a quick fly around to check out the area and took some of these nice aerial shots.

So here we sit. Tomorrow we will get up and finish becoming Florida residents. Then it’s back on the road to head north again. Back to CW in Indianapolis to hopefully pick up our new coach.
Our Spot At Whitey’s Fish Camp
I know that Camping World will make very sure you new coach meets high standards! They sound like really good folks there and the way The factory decided to send out our new home is not the fault of the CW staff! Frustrations aside, this too shall pass!
My love to you and the kitties! Keep cool!!!
If you mentioned this already please let me know the Blog date and post, what made you choose Florida as your residency?
Hi…
Mostly was based on the fact we already had been using a great mail forwarding service from 2008 here that can be used as a legal address. Well that and no personal state tax and that we do not have to keep getting the car and coach inspected each year.
let he woodwards know when you all are back at cw in Indy
Hope to be their Thursday the 18th.
Welcome to Florida! :)
Hi, David. Are you guys still using St. Brendan’s Isle as your mail forwarding company? We are getting our “ducks on a row” to become full-timers and wanted to know of your current satisfaction with the company. We are also interested in becoming residents of FL due to the state income tax relief. Thanks!
Hello! Yes we are still using St. Brendan’s Isle as our domicile address and are still very happy with them and recommend them. They are real helpful in answering any questions that you may have in your transfer to them and becoming FL residents. Please be so kind as to mention our name when signing up with them as we would get a free month of service. :) Any little bit helps. Another bonus is the local DMV there is not super busy, therefore you get in and out real quick.
