We are in the tent section and the site is secluded with a forest feel. Rustic. The comfort station is clean and could use a little updating but works fine

Campgrounds near Flagler Beach, Florida range from oceanfront RV resorts to riverside tent sites, with several options offering direct Atlantic beach access. Gamble Rogers Memorial State Recreation Area offers both riverside and beachside camping areas for tents and RVs, while Beverly Beach Camptown RV Resort provides oceanfront sites where visitors can camp within view of the Atlantic. Multiple state parks in the region accommodate cabin camping, including Tomoka State Park approximately 15 miles south and Princess Place Preserve about 12 miles northwest of Flagler Beach. These locations support various accommodation types from basic tent sites to full-service RV hookups.
Most developed campgrounds in the area require advance reservations, which can be difficult to secure during peak seasons. "Awesome place in Florida, but to schedule time here is tough. You have to keep looking and attempting," noted one camper about Gamble Rogers Memorial State Recreation Area. Beach camping experiences vary seasonally, with summer bringing higher temperatures and crowded conditions, while winter offers milder weather and fewer visitors. Most oceanfront campgrounds provide water and electric hookups, though amenities vary significantly between state parks and private RV resorts. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the coastal camping areas, but campers should expect limited natural shade at many beachside locations.
The Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway provide distinctive camping backdrops in the Flagler Beach region. Campers particularly value clean facilities at state park campgrounds, with one visitor remarking that Gamble Rogers features "the cleanest shower room facility" they had encountered in 50,000 miles of travel. Several campgrounds offer fishing opportunities, wildlife viewing, and bicycle paths. Tent campers should note that some locations place tent sites in close proximity to RV areas, which may affect noise levels from generators. Beach camping in this region typically features distinctive reddish sand beaches, and during summer months, campers may observe sea turtle nesting sites. While oceanfront sites command premium prices and book quickly, inland riverside camping areas offer alternative water views with easier availability.

LegendPellicer Campground - Princess Place Preserve
Pristine, Secluded Nature Getaway Hidden Away @ Princess Place Preserve
What you will enjoy most about the Pellicer Campground is that it is the tiniest of all the camping areas here at Princess Place Preserve, offering up just 2 campsites. That said, IMHO Pellicer is the best of all the camping options here, for a few reasons. First of all, it’s size alone gives it a real sense of privacy along with that comes next to no noise (unless you count the constant drumming of the choir from the cicadas noise). If you don’t keep your eyes peeled, you will drive right by Pellicer Campground, so once you’ve entered Princess Place Preserve proper, meaning that you will have passed through an actual gate (likely open if during day hours) and you’ll go around the bend past the horse staging area on your left and just when you see the covered bridge, you will want to hang a left (if you cross the covered bridge, you’ve gone too far).
Camping here is fairly basic and primitive with just water spigots, fire ring and designated trash receptacles as well as a duo port-O-potty. Also, there is an eerie feeling of desolation when we visited as this part of the preserve had recently undergone a controlled burn, which simply adds to the mystique and uniqueness to the place in my mind. What I absolutely loved about Pellicer Campground is that either site#1 or #2 comes with its very own kayak / canoe launch and offers a really exclusive access point to the waterways you’ll discover here – whereas the main kayak / canoe launch across the bridge and closer to Moody CG will dump you out in the largeness of the Matanzas River, But here at Pellicer, you’ll slowly slip into one of the many small tributaries that zig zag throughout Princess Place Preserve like a water snake. The other upside locating yourself here at Pellicer Campground is that you will be centrally located to everything that Princess Place Preserve has to offer, so nothing is too far out of reach.
As far as Princess Place Preserve itself is concerned, there are more than 1,500 square acres to explore that will offer the best of both surf (with 3 conjoining rivers) & turf (which is simply fantastic marsh). On the surf front, you’ll have the trifecta of salt marshes from the Matanzas River, slow-moving currents of the Moody Creek and abundant fishing of the Pellicer Creek to contend with – all three of which make for perfect kayak, canoe and paddleboard exploration (just be on the watch for alligators!). Back on land, there’s plenty of hiking trails that provide a bevy of well-cleared fully-functioning foot paths … while on the other hand, you will discover trails that are in dire need of some decent pruning as well as those, due to recent rainfall, will be either flooded or too muddy to trudge through.
History sidebar: the name Princess Preserve comes from the widow Angela Cutting who remarried a Russian prince and assumed the title of princess (although there was no coronation). The entire park is managed by Flagler County Parks & Recreation, which I have to say (apart from the bathroom / shower facilities) have done an outstanding job at not just preserving this amazing nature destination, but the county is in overdrive in its restoration efforts of the place, as you will see with the main lodge and nearby buildings and horse stable that have recently received a very nice refurbishment.
Insider’s tips? Here’s a smattering: (1) Here at Pellicer Campground, you will not be impressed by the port-O-potty bathroom options, but if you cross the covered bridge, you can either head towards the main lodge where to the left is a fairly decent restroom facility, but if you’re looking for a nice hot shower, you will have to make your way over to the Equestrian Campground, so this is the one (fairly massive) downside to Princess Place Preserve – just one shower facility in the entirety of the Preserve, which I score just a 5 out of 10; (2) Everywhere you go the water is non-potable, so be sure to bring your own fresh water to drink; (3) Interested in taking advantage of the historic tours that are offered here? Just note that they are first-come, first-served, so upon arriving here, be sure to ask a Park Ranger for first availability – typically, the tours are offered each day around 2pm; (4) If you are a biker, like I am, you will definitely want to bring your wheels here, where all of the main roads and even most of the trails are simply perfect for riding on and the expansive nature of Princess Place Preserve will give you miles and miles to explore without biking on the same trail twice!; (5) When you want to get cleaned up and venture out to visit some of the nearby haunts, be sure to check out Rodie’s Place in Hammock Beach, which is a funky local cooking institution that has an amazing upscale menu of which I highly recommend the skillet baked brie, Nashville hot chicken sandwich and the homemade coleslaw; and (6) My pro-tip for Pellicer CG is this - call ahead to verify that the road into this CG or the surrounding roadways aren't flooded - I've been here half a dozen times and at least half the time, the roads are inundated with water from the rivers, so tread carefully (or wear boots!).
Happy Camping!

Boogerville Hideout
Biker Bar Meets RV Layover
Pulling into Boogerville Hideout right off US 17 feels less like arriving at a campground and more like rolling into a full-on Roadhouse movie sequel where you’d expect Jake Gyllehnhaal (nee Patrick Swayze) to be bouncing at the front door. Upon entry, you might hear the rumble of bikes, the glow of string lights and the pulse of a live music set the tone before you even park. Located just south of Green Cove Springs, this biker bar and restaurant has recently carved out roughly a dozen RV slots behind and surrounding the property, creating a unique overnight option that blends convenience with a high-energy, social atmosphere. The setting is open and informal, with gravel and packed dirt surfaces, easy pull-in access and a layout that wraps around the main bar, stage and outdoor beer garden patio area.
The RV sites themselves offer basic hookups, making it functional for a quick overnight, but amenities beyond that are minimal. There are no traditional bathhouses, no playgrounds and no campground-style comforts, just port-a-potties that are shared with patrons of the bar. The vibe here is unapologetically lively, especially on weekends when live bands, karaoke, and DJs turn the outdoor beer garden into something closer to a small festival than a campground. Navigation is simple enough, and setup is quick, but this is clearly not designed for quiet evenings, early bedtimes and families with small kids - trust me - would not want to ‘drop anchor’ here for sure.
Surrounding the property, you are positioned along US 17 with quick access into Green Cove Springs for supplies, where you will find grocery options like Dollar Tree and El Supremo, gas stations like BP and casual dining spots like The Pub @ Magnolia Point, Roger That Wings & Things. If you are looking to balance the energy of Boogerville with a bit of calm, nearby parks and the St. Johns River offer opportunities to reset during the day before returning to the action at night.
Insider’s tips? Here’s a handful: (1) Choose a site as far from the stage and US 17 as possible if you plan to turn in early, as music can run late on weekends; (2) Expect noise, this is part of the experience, not a drawback to be avoided; (3) Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper; (4) Plan to use your own onboard facilities if possible, as port-a-potties are shared and can get busy (and somewhat messy, particular closer to midnight on the weekends); (5) This is best treated as an overnight stop tied to enjoying the bar and music rather than a traditional campground stay; (6) If you are looking for any great grub in the vicinity, you’ve just hit the BBQ jackpot as less than a 20 minute drive from here, you’ll discover the legendary Woodpeckers Backyard BBQ that will be – without any contention – the greatest spot for smoked grub you will find IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA (yeah, I know, that's a big statement - so prove me wrong); and (7) If you’ve had 1 or 2 too many, you want to be incredibly careful and not try your luck up or down US 17 as this stretch of pavement is continuously patrolled by Florida’s finest, which is just yet another reason you should consider laying up for the night here @ Boogerville Hideout.
Happy Camping!

Lake Dorr Dispersed Camping
Spent two nights here again. Sept. 27th and 28th. During the day time there were a lot of Love Bugs. My camping kitty loved chasing them. At night or at sun down I was bombarded with bugs. Even if I tried to attract them to a higher light and I was in the dark, didn't help. So this time of the year, sunset = go inside.
Also, the description above is wrong.
This dispersed camping area within Ocala National Forest DOES NOT provide water hookups, restrooms, and picnic tables along with standard amenities like trash service and campfire permissions.
The campground DOES NOT maintain water availability throughout the site and DOES NOT HAVE ANY clean restroom facilities.
Other than that, I will be back.

Lake Dorr Dispersed camping
Spent two nights here again. September 27th and 28th. This is a great dispersed camping area. You only need to know your limits with soft sand. During the day there were a lot of love bugs and the water was great. As soon as the sun sets, at this time of the year the bugs were terrible. Even if you tried to attract them up in the air with a Devos light you will be bombarded. Sunset = go inside. Other than the night time bugs, it's a great place. I will be back.

Beach getaway
Over the summer we’ve stayed at many places along the east coast of Florida from campgrounds to privately own locations. Coral Sands was great, small clean and very friendly. Michelle is the one that takes care of the restrooms and she does a wonderful job. I really have nothing to complain about.
Guide to Flagler Beach
Camping near Flagler Beach, Florida offers both oceanfront and inland options along Florida's Atlantic coast. The region features distinctive reddish-coquina sand beaches and access to multiple water ecosystems including the Intracoastal Waterway. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F with high humidity while winter months bring milder 60-75°F days that attract fewer visitors to camping facilities.
What to do
Kayaking and canoeing: Tomoka State Park provides equipment rentals for water activities. "I really enjoyed Tomoka state park! The outpost was so fun! They have their own beer brewed for them, which was very tasty. You can rent kayaks and canoes via the outpost," notes Kelly R., who recommends bringing a bike to navigate the park more easily.
Wildlife viewing: Princess Place Preserve offers uncrowded natural habitats for animal watching. "We saw deer 🦌 on the long winding road to the state park, every day," mentions Debi M. The preserve also features trails with diverse ecosystems. Taylor reports, "Surrounded by stunning, natural Florida habitat! We saw deer more frequently than we saw other humans."
Beachcombing and swimming: At Coral Sands RV Resort, ocean access is immediate. "Spot 25, direct view to the ocean. At the beach in seconds," shares Cody N. The campground connects to hotel amenities including "oceanfront heated pool, scattered beach chairs and umbrellas," according to Stuart K.
Fishing opportunities: Access fishing spots directly from your campsite at Princess Place Preserve. "Waterfront campsites well space depart with complete seclusion and peaceful views! Launch your boat from your site, fish and enjoy," says Scott S., who also mentions the "creeks meandering all through the preserve for paddleboard and or kayaking."
What campers like
Secluded waterfront sites: Princess Place Preserve campers appreciate the private waterfront locations. "This campground has 2 dock sites. We stayed at Dock Site 2 in May. The site has a place to launch kayaks or a canoe," shares Kippy N., adding that "Sites are reserved well in advance, especially for the weekends so book early."
Clean facilities: Anastasia State Park Campground maintains high cleanliness standards. "The facilities at this camp ground are nearly immaculate. The beach access is spacious and pristine," notes Kim A. Another camper adds, "The bath houses were clean and had a good amount of room."
Natural buffers between sites: Tomoka State Park provides vegetation that creates privacy. "I like all the vegetation around the campsite which gives you a little privacy. The ground is level and it includes a fire pit and picnic table," reports Nelson G. Another camper, Marie B., agrees: "The trees between the spaces were good buffers so you weren't looking right into your neighbors campers."
Ocean views: Beachside Camping — Gamble Rogers Memorial State Recreation Area offers direct ocean access. "Beautiful campground, backed right up looking over the ocean. There's a separate beach to bring your dogs to," comments Nancy H. Guy F. adds that while "Beachside sites are tight with no sewer hookups," the staff were "very friendly."
What you should know
Tick awareness: Faver-Dykes State Park requires insect precautions. "Left park after one night because of ticks. There were tick warning signs posted," reports Annell N. Another camper mentions, "We hiked the 2.5 mile trail which was nice but dont forget the bug spray. The bugs were quite annoying and we returned with quite a few ticks."
Reservation challenges: Securing sites requires advance planning. For Princess Place Preserve, Kippy N. advises, "Sites are reserved well in advance, especially for the weekends so book early." Taylor confirms the campground's limited capacity: "There are only 13 camp sites in the entire park and they are all spread out."
Site limitations: Be aware of campground-specific restrictions. At Tomoka State Park, "our site (#2) has a large oak tree in the middle that prevents us from opening the awning," notes Nelson G. For beachside camping at Gamble Rogers, Guy F. points out that "Only a few sites are big-rig friendly."
Water access conditions: Beaches have varying characteristics. At Beverly Beach Camptown RV Resort, Sandy G. notes, "Beach was very small and slanted so hard to walk on." Coral Sands provides easier access where you're "at the beach in seconds," according to Cody N.
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly amenities: Anastasia State Park offers dedicated recreation areas. "I have already booked my return stay for next year! We have site 33 which is amazing to let the kids play, you can see the playground but still have some privacy from it," shares Kat G. The park also features "water sport equipment rental and snack shack on site."
Educational opportunities: Riverside Camping — Gamble Rogers Memorial State Recreation Area offers wildlife learning experiences. Chris C. reports, "Went in late January. Beach was mostly empty," providing quieter times for family exploration. During summer, Dan X. mentions it's a "Solid spot for turtle watchin'" with "lots of turtle nest sites blocked off."
Bike-friendly parks: Several campgrounds accommodate family cycling. At Anastasia State Park, Amelia W. recommends "hiking to the Amphitheater or check out the old coquina quarry." Missi S. adds that Tomoka State Park "had places to ride bikes" and "a nice camp store that had just about anything you could need on a camping trip."
Swimming options: Multiple water access points suit different ages. Anastasia State Park features a "spacious and pristine" beach according to Kim A. Coral Sands offers both ocean and pool swimming with "access to beautiful oceanfront pool, chairs on the beach," notes Mike.
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: At Riverside Camping — Gamble Rogers Memorial, Kevin H. advises, "Outside loop has more privacy than inside the loop." He adds the park has "the cleanest shower room facility" he'd encountered in "50,000 miles on the road."
Hookup considerations: Beachside Gamble Rogers provides limited services. "Beachside sites are tight with no sewer hookups. Only a few sites are big-rig friendly," cautions Guy F. For full hookups, Beverly Beach Camptown RV Resort offers "concrete patios, all site have sewer hookup, 50 amp service and new picnic tables," according to James C.
Beach access trade-offs: Oceanfront sites have specific considerations. At Beverly Beach Camptown, Mark A. shares it's "Absolutely the best place to camp right on the beach in north Florida! Kinda pricy but unforgettable views and experience." Keith and Tia S. add, "They have options for many different budgets from deluxe oceanfront to cheaper sites that are across the street."
Site spacing awareness: RV parks vary in site proximity. Stuart K. observes at Beachside Gamble Rogers that "Sites are pretty close to one another" although there is "decent brush-like perimeter that blocks you from seeing all the traffic passing by A1A."
