      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!

      Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park Campground

      Beautiful Nature Escape with cool Wildlife

      This is a really nice campground surrounded by beautiful nature. The bathhouse is a little older, but still fine. The area itself is really impressive though, with lots of wildlife all around. If you take a short walk, you’ll find a spot with a water view and tons of seating areas — a really beautiful place to relax. For the price, you honestly can’t complain. There are quite a lot of insects at night, so bringing good bug spray is definitely a good idea. But for our one-night stay, it was absolutely worth it.

      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.

    What to Do

    Hiking trails: Mike Roess Gold Head Branch State Park Campground offers several well-maintained paths. "Had a great visit. Got 2 sites and had more family start camping with us. Kids loved the scenery for hiking and pictures. Only issue was low lake water but not campgrounds fault," notes Joseph A.

    Fishing opportunities: Rodman Campground provides direct access to Rodman Reservoir. "Beautiful site! Full shade and very level. Water directly in front of our site. Road our bikes to the dam," writes Lauren W., highlighting the water access.

    ATV adventures: For off-road enthusiasts, dedicated trails offer mudding experiences. "Great camp sites. Well kept. Clean bathrooms. Friendly service," says Cara S. about Lake Oklawaha RV Park, which connects to nearby ATV areas.

The camp is frequented by college students. Bathrooms are clean. Plenty of hiking to be found. Buffalo, deer, eagles, alligators, owls," reports Jenn B.

    Dark skies: Forested campsites provide stargazing opportunities away from city lights. "Great location with plenty of dark skies. The spots are well spaced in the woods, with plenty of room. The location is great for visiting the prairie and easy access to Gainesville," notes Joe R. about Paynes Prairie.

    Clean facilities: Campground cleanliness receives frequent positive mentions. "Nice hikes and birding abound! Amazing sunrises with the birds at the lakes. It's quiet, and the sites are relatively private. The volunteers are amazing, as are the Rangers that run the park," shares Clean Slate D. about Mike Roess Gold Head Branch State Park.

    What You Should Know

    Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies significantly between campgrounds, with forested areas having particularly poor reception. Expect limited or no service in more remote locations.

    Reservation requirements: Popular sites fill quickly, especially during winter months. "It's challenging to get a reservation for the campgrounds but worth it if you can," notes Issa F. about Paynes Prairie.

    Trail access regulations: Some areas restrict pet access. "The biggest disappointment for this state park is that all of the things they advertise (and I was looking forward to) - bison, horses, wildlife - are all on trails where pets are not allowed," cautions Denise about Paynes Prairie.

    Tips for Camping with Families

    Site selection: Choose campgrounds with appropriate amenities. "We went camping with the family and dog. The bathhouse was clean and well kept.

    Tips from RVers

    Hookup availability: Cooper Lake RV Community offers full connections. "This campground is awesome for snowbirds, out-of-state workers, and long-term campers. Quiet, friendly park away from the hustle & bustle. Close to St. Augustine, Gainesville, and Ocala," explains Tom & Shar S.
