    Bunnell, Florida serves as a gateway to diverse camping experiences ranging from oceanfront sites to forested retreats. Located in Flagler County, the area connects campers to notable destinations like Bull Creek Campground within city limits and nearby Gamble Rogers Memorial State Recreation Area at Flagler Beach, where both beachside and riverside camping options exist. State parks dominate the landscape, with Tomoka State Park to the north offering well-spaced, shaded sites with access to the Intracoastal Waterway. Within an hour's drive, campers can reach Salt Springs Recreation Area in Ocala National Forest or the highly-rated Anastasia State Park near St. Augustine, providing a mix of tent, RV, and cabin accommodations.

    Reservations are essential for most established campgrounds, particularly during winter months when seasonal visitors flock to the region. Many state park campgrounds maintain full hookup sites for RVs alongside more primitive options for tent campers. Summer brings intense heat and humidity with frequent afternoon thunderstorms, while winter offers mild temperatures ideal for outdoor activities. As one camper noted about nearby Tomoka State Park, "This park had the best separation between sites of any Florida State Park we've experienced." Sandy soil conditions can affect access at some locations, particularly after heavy rainfall. Cell service varies significantly, with stronger coverage near coastal areas and limited connectivity in forest campgrounds.

    Natural springs represent a distinctive feature of camping in this region, with several campgrounds providing access to crystal-clear, 72-degree water year-round. Visitors consistently praise the shade coverage at state park campgrounds, crucial protection from Florida's intense sun. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound, with campers reporting sightings of manatees, alligators, and diverse bird species. According to one reviewer at Salt Springs Recreation Area, "The water in the springs are generally crystal clear and having goggles and/or mask would make this more fun." Waterfront sites typically book fastest, especially those with direct beach access at Gamble Rogers or Beverly Beach Camptown RV Resort. The Florida Trail passes through several nearby camping areas, offering hiking opportunities that connect multiple campgrounds.

      North Florida Christian Camp

      Faith, Fellowship and Fresh Air

      Tucked away just outside Keystone Heights, North Florida Christian Camp feels like a place designed more for connection than convenience, where winding sandy roads lead you beneath tall pines and into a peaceful, purpose driven setting that immediately feels set apart from the everyday rush. The campground sits on a large, wooded property with a mix of open gathering spaces and shaded pockets, and while it is primarily designed for organized church groups and retreats, individual campers can still find a quiet place to land among the trees. The overall vibe is relaxed, intentional, and grounded in simplicity, with nature doing most of the heavy lifting.

      Facilities here are more functional than flashy, with a combination of cabins, bunkhouses, and open camping areas alongside basic bathhouses, communal gathering pavilions, and activity fields. You will not find resort style amenities, but you will find clean, usable facilities, wide open space for kids to run, and a layout that encourages group activities, campfires, and shared meals. The grounds are easy to navigate, and while RV hookups may be limited depending on where you stay, the setting works well for families who are comfortable with a more rustic, community-oriented experience.

      The surrounding area offers a nice balance of quiet nature and small town convenience, with Keystone Heights just a short drive away for groceries, fuel and casual dining. Hitchcock’s Market is a reliable stop for supplies, and local favorites like Cedar River Seafood provide an easy, family friendly meal after a day outdoors. Nearby lakes and trails give you opportunities for paddling, fishing, or simply stretching your legs under the Florida sky, making it easy to build a full day without ever straying too far.

      Insider’s tips? Here’s a handful: (1) The best camping areas are those set slightly deeper into the pines where you will find more shade and a bit more privacy from larger group spaces; (2) If visiting during a scheduled retreat or camp week, expect more activity and less solitude, so plan accordingly; (3) Bring bikes or scooters for kids, as the open grounds and sandy roads are perfect for riding; (4) Pack bug spray, especially in warmer months, as the wooded setting can bring out mosquitoes at dusk; and (5) If you are seeking a quieter experience, aim for midweek stays outside of peak group bookings.

      Happy Camping!

      Riverside Camping — Gamble Rogers Memorial State Recreation Area at Flagler Beach

      Room to Breathe and Relax

      Well maintained campsites, grounds and facilities. Rangers and hosts are great. Sites on the riverside are reasonably spaced apart and several offer a privacy on the camping side because they are adjacent to the nature. preserve or are tucked back and away. The car / motorcycle tent camping sites look really nice and cozy. I did not visit the coastal side campground.

      Lakeside haven rv park

      Garbage

      WARNING: DO NOT STAY HERE. Absolute Slum Conditions & Toxic Management. If I could give Lakeside Haven RV Resort negative stars, I would. Do not be fooled by the beautiful pictures they post online—those are from years ago when the park first opened. Today, this place is a neglected, hazardous dump run by a toxic, completely unprofessional management team. We moved in on December 27th, renting a lot and an 18-foot camper for $750/month. We were assured it was "move-in ready." That was a blatant lie. On our first day, I opened the fridge/freezer combo, and hundreds of German cockroaches fell out of it like Niagara Falls. It required three separate bug bombs just to make the place semi-livable. On top of that, Mario, the manager, left a whole turkey in the freezer that thawed out and leaked putrid turkey juices all over the appliance. There was also absolutely no hot water because the water heater had a massive crack in it. It leaked so severely that it saturated the floor, causing the kitchen floor to visibly sag. When they finally came to "fix" the water heater, they smashed a massive hole in the side of the camper and just left it wide open. Because of their negligence, my cat escaped, and my girlfriend and I spent three agonizing days waiting for him to return. Thankfully, he did. The windows were also broken and just covered with cardboard and tape, and the sink was completely backed up because the previous tenant had dumped a hoard of pennies down the drain. When I confronted the manager, Mario, about these biohazards and structural failures, he didn't offer to fix them immediately. Instead, he coldly offered a refund. He knew exactly what he was doing—he put us in a position where we either had to live in a roach-infested, broken camper or be homeless. We had to stay and watch them take their sweet time doing bare-minimum repairs. When anyone has a legitimate issue with the park, Mario gets incredibly rude, nasty, and aggressive. If you express how unhappy you are with the conditions, management's official response is literally: "Don't like it? Move." Management is rarely even on-site—maybe once or twice a month—but they sure know how to cause drama. They constantly spread lies around the park claiming we weren't paying our bills, which is defamation. We have every single receipt proving we have paid on time, every single month. Furthermore, the utility situation is a massive rip-off. There is only one meter for the entire park. Management leaves the lights on and the AC blasting at 68 degrees constantly in common areas, and because of the single meter, the tenants are forced to split the bill for their energy waste. You are also paying out of pocket for "amenities" like a laundry room that should be covered. The park looks like absolute shit. The boat dock is in such disrepair it will literally ruin your boat if you try to use it. Worse than the infrastructure is the total lack of safety. They will let anyone move in here, including active drug users and people with violent, dangerous criminal records. To give you an idea of how dangerous this place is, I accidentally butt-dialed the police once. When the cop arrived, he literally told me that they get so many emergency calls for this park—ranging from domestic abuse to drug issues—that they are forced to come out and physically verify everyone is okay, even for a confirmed accidental dial. The police are fully aware of how awful this place is. There is also zero confidentiality. Management acts friendly to get your money, but once you are locked in, they treat you like garbage and spread your personal business. They literally told brand-new tenants intimate, private medical details about a resident living here with cancer. It is deeply disrespectful, unethical, and disgusting behavior. They trap you, lie about you, neglect the property, and treat you like absolute shit. For the love of God, stay the hell away from Lakeside Haven RV Resort and Mario.

      Indian Lake State Forest Campground

      Weekend Get-Away

      First time at this State Forest campground/park and it was quiet, accessible, and had all the amenities needed for a nice weekend get away. The bathrooms are a little less modern than expected, but they do have a shower which does get hot within seconds. The iron smell is very notable in the water, however.

      Encore Sunshine Holiday Daytona

      2nd trip under our belt

      Like the title says, this is my wife and I second campsite on our trip across America. Our stay was for 10 days from May 22 through June 1st. This site had a different vibe than the first. This park seems to be more residential folks than travelers. Grounds are well maintained with lots of activities. Activities include tennis/pickleball courts, putt-putt, playground for kids, volleyball, and a swimming pool. Conveniently located close to I95 with restaurants and shopping within 10-15 minutes. If you are beach goers, it took about 20 minutes to get to Ormond Beach by car. Also, if you are a racecar fan, the Daytona 500 Speedway is within 20 minutes. The campsite was nice and quiet during both day and night and people stayed to themselves. I will say the site's are close together and depending on how big your rig is will depend greatly on how hard or easy it will be to park. I have a 40ft Thor Challenger class A and I had to maneuver a few times before I fit. The streets are also narrow for bigger rigs. The biggest problem I ran into was when we left you have to make a U turn out of the complex to get back to I95. The big problem was I'm too big to just make a U turn anywher, if at all. I had to go a few miles out of the way to just turn around to head the right way for the freeway. Overall, I enjoyed this campsite other than the minor inconvenience of getting back to the freeway when departing.

      Beverly Beach Camptown RV Resort

      One of our favorite places!

      This is our second time visiting in the last month or so. They are still working on repairing the sea wall, but the views are breathtaking. Flagler beach is a sleepy little beach town. Great vibes!

      Silver Springs State Park Campground

      Spacious Campsites

      We also only stayed here for one night, but we really enjoyed this campground. The campsites are very large and spacious, and the surrounding trees give you a decent amount of privacy. The bathhouse was very clean, and the showers were especially nice because they were big and roomy, which made them really comfortable to use. The only small downside is that there were only two showers available, at least on the men’s side. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend staying here.

      Amazing staff

      Staff is so friendly and fun. There very informative about the town and gave great suggestions about site swing and restaurants.

    Guide to Bunnell

    Camping near Bunnell, Florida offers year-round access to both freshwater and saltwater recreational activities, with most sites situated between 20-50 feet above sea level. The area's sandy soil conditions create level campsites in most locations, though drainage can be problematic after heavy rainfall. Sites throughout Flagler County typically experience minimal temperature variations between day and night compared to inland camping locations.

    What to do

    Kayaking at Tomoka State Park: Just 20 minutes from Bunnell, paddlers can rent equipment directly at the outpost. "You can rent kayaks and canoes via the outpost. The sites are private but not far from the neighboring sites. I recommend bringing a bike to get around. The walk from the campsite to the outpost/water can be a trek without one," shares Kelly R. from Tomoka State Park.

    Swimming in natural springs: Salt Springs Recreation Area offers crystal-clear 72-degree water perfect for cooling off on hot Florida days. "The campground has large spots and are easy to back into. There was no reservation required. The spring is a short walk from the campground or a quick bike ride," notes Miranda R. from Salt Springs.

    Beach exploration: Multiple campsites offer Atlantic Ocean access. "We were only able to reserve one night but we were on the beach side, and the beach is gorgeous. We fell asleep listening to the waves crash! The sites are small and really close together," reports Maria I. about Gamble Rogers beachside camping.

    What campers like

    Private, wooded campsites: Many Bunnell-area campgrounds feature natural vegetation barriers between sites. "The sites had good separation from the neighboring sites and was level. The campground was mostly quiet. There are a couple of small trails right in the campground to see the Halifax River," explains Denise from Tomoka State Park.

    Water access: Faver-Dykes State Park provides boating opportunities away from more crowded locations. "Nice place! Has a great drive in. Plenty of wild life. Has a great 2.6 mile trail. Very secluded and quiet. Watch out for those no see'ms," mentions Bryan in his review.

    Riverside camping options: Alternative water views beyond oceanfront sites appeal to many campers. "Got lucky with a riverside spot last minute! Pet-friendly, two campground areas - one beachside and one riverside. The park rangers/campground check-in were super friendly. Bathroom was spectacularly clean," writes Alyssa D. about Riverside Camping at Gamble Rogers.

    What you should know

    Campsite availability challenges: The most desirable locations fill quickly, especially during winter. "This place is great and hard to schedule. We have tried a few times and finally got in. Travelled from Arizona and wanted a place on the beach. This was it and they had an opening. Limited camp sites on beach side," notes Corey L. about Gamble Rogers.

    Insect considerations: Several campgrounds report seasonal bug issues. At Faver-Dykes, campers recommend "bug spray. The bugs were quite annoying and we returned with quite a few ticks," according to Kathy G. Similarly, Rusty R. advises about Gamble Rogers: "It was a good time camping and enjoying the sites to see. At night if sleeping in a tent make sure your tent doesn't let in the no see ems. It made for a long night."

    Rustic amenities at some locations: Not all campgrounds provide full hookups. At Juniper Springs Recreation Area, Lisa O. notes, "This campground charges more for sites than the state campgrounds which actually offer water and electricity. The nearest grocery store was a good 14 minutes away so come prepared."

    Tips for camping with families

    Family-friendly swimming spots: The natural springs around Bunnell provide safe swimming environments. "The spring pool is gorgeous and quite, very pretty trails to watch spring boils and turtles. Very sunny during the day and very cool at nigth," shares Marisol R. about Juniper Springs.

    Bike-friendly campgrounds: Many parks have paved paths ideal for children. At Tomoka State Park, campers report: "Sites were plenty big enough. Bathrooms were clean. Park had places to ride bikes. Had a nice camp store that had just about anything you could need on a camping trip."

    Pet-friendly beaches: Not all waterfront areas permit dogs. "If you are a pet owner and looking for a dog beach (most beaches in FL don't allow dogs), Flagler Beach is a short drive from the campground," advises Denise from her Tomoka State Park stay.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection for oceanfront camping: At Beverly Beach Camptown RV Resort, site choice is critical. "This is a no thrills over priced campground on the beach. We did not have a spot on the beach (across the street) but a very short walk. The spots are very close to each other and the power pedestal is a plug only (no breaker)," explains Bill B.

    Local fishing spots: Bull Creek Campground provides unique angling opportunities. "Words can't express how much we enjoy our time at the place. The grounds are as good as it gets. The only draw back is the water is not potable but we bring bottled water. The lake and tributaries are beautiful and definitely describes old Florida," notes Bill T.

    RV pad surface considerations: Site conditions vary throughout the region. "Wide open camping area, no buffers between people. but full hook ups and decent bathrooms," says Nate D. about Salt Springs, while at Faver-Dykes State Park, Annell N. reports, "Our site (28) was loose sand," which can affect leveling and stabilization.
