    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.

      Sandhill Campground - Mike Roess Gold Head Branch State Park

      My husband and I went here for a long weekend, it was a really nice park we saw a lot of deer. There is 4+ miles of the Florida State Trail that runs through this park that we hiked. The terrain changes multiple times giving you a nice change in scenery. There is a ravine there too. The staff was great, and the facilities were clean. You can buy patches there too if you like to collect patches (or stickers) from the State Parks. And if you have the Florida State Park passport they have a stamp. It’s a good sized park and kept us busy.

      Anastasia State Park Campground

      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

      Pellicer 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!

      Silver Springs State Park Campground

      All amenities on site

      Sites have full hookups which is awesome for a state park. Also picnic tables, grills and a fire pit. The sites are big and relatively private. To visit the spring you can hike or drive. Being you camping receipt to get in free. Glass bottom boat tour is $15 for adults but there is a nice walking path and you can see manatees in the spring from the shore. The restaurant was nice, good pizza!

    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.
