Gold Rock Campground

5 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Reached via State Road 44 and a short drive south on Old Mission Road, Gold Rock Campground sits about two miles from the Atlantic-facing beaches of New Smyrna Beach, with nightly rates running $25 to $35. Reservations are available but not required. Walk-in arrivals have checked in without issue, and the staff consistently draws positive mentions across reviews.

The layout divides into two distinct areas. One side functions as a standard RV park with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer, accommodating rigs up to 50 feet. The other, known as the overflow section, features large sites surrounded by trees, which gives it a more open, off-grid feel despite being close to a Publix and a Wawa. Tent campers have room to spread out across a grassy open field with fire pits and picnic tables. Showers are warm, the bathrooms have electrical outlets for charging devices, and cleanliness comes up repeatedly as a positive note in reviews.

The crowd here leans eclectic. One reviewer noted painted camper vans and buses among the rigs, which gives the place a communal, low-key character. Nearby campground options include Sugar Mill Ruins Travel Park and New Smyrna Beach RV Park & Campground if Gold Rock is full. The beaches in this area are drive-on, so arriving early in the morning gives vehicle campers the best pick of spots along the sand.

Many campers appreciated the giant, tree-surrounded sites and clean facilities with warm showers. A common theme was friendly, accommodating staff. The location offers both secluded feel and convenient access to beaches and shopping.

Not All That Shines Is Gold

If you find yourself heading to one of the best Atlantic-side beaches in all of Florida – New Smyrna Beach – then you are already in-store for what will be a fantastic experience. Until they actually let beachgoers camp out on the beach itself, finding a spot to ‘pitch your tent’ isn’t all that difficult to do in this area. That said, what you give up for convenience and close access to the white caps you’ll encounter in this beach destination makes you want to be somewhat more forgiving of the campground options available to you. 

Only about 2 miles away from the soft lulling of lapping waves, you’ll come across one of a few good options (see my other reviews for those other options), one of which is Gold Rock Campground & RV Park. Conveniently located off State Road 44 (which you’ll take after getting off the main I95 highway), you’ll head south when you come to Old Mission Road, which is just a short drive to this location. I would describe what you’ll find as basically a big open football field with a few lanes of mostly RV’s lined up side-by-side. The vibe is definitely pleasant and the place is communal with fringes of hippiness (just look at some of the psychedelic painted camper vans and buses – the owners of which will certainly not disappoint!). 

There’s a small office upon entry that you’ll check in at, pay your nightly deposit and then you’re off to find an open space of greenery that you’ll call home for the night. There’s all the standard hook-ups for the RV’s and as a tent camper, you really have the run of the town to place your portable home for the night pretty much anywhere you want to. The only real insider tips I can give you if staying here or in the area is to get to the beach early – and note that the white sandy beaches in these parts are ‘drive-on only,’ so bring everything with you, find your perfect spot at the beach and open up the backgate of your SUV or Jeep and set up your camp in the sand there for the entire day. Simply one of the best beach experiences I’ve ever had in Florida (and I live here, so that should be saying something). 

Happy Camping!

Pleasant spot. No frills

There are two sides to the park what they call the overflow, where I stayed in two separate days for two weeks apiece. They also have the other side which is like a normal RV park. So I'm going to tell you about the overflow area. You have full hookups the spots are giant. The space is completely surrounded by trees, so when you pull in you feel like you're way off the grid, but when you pull out of the park you're right in the middle of stuff. There's a Publix practically walking distance there's a Wawa right around the corner. And the ocean is 15 minutes away. And the rates are awesome. And on top of it, Carla the manager is really awesome. I totally recommend this RV park.
