Other Places to Stay
Patients occasionally find seasonal condos at WORLD GOLF VILLAGE down by St. Augustine. The commute is 40 to 45 minutes. But, to play at the King & Bear or the Slammer & Squire, some find the drive worthwhile.

RV PARKS
There are three RV/camping parks in the Jacksonville area. All are highly rated in general, and by our patients in particular. Pecan Park and Flamingo Lake are the closest to Florida Proton and are located about 10-15 miles away. Hanna Park is another possibility located near the beach. In order to stay more than two weeks at Hanna Park, you will need a letter from the doctor explaining the reason for an extended stay and will also need to fill out an extended stay form available from the Park that needs to be approved by the Hanna Park board. This might be something you want to get worked out the first two weeks of your stay so you have no problems after the two weeks are up.

Take I-95 Exit 366 – Pecan Park Road. This pretty park is up near the airport and near the giant Pecan Park Flea Market.
