Best Campgrounds near Deltona, FL

Camping near Deltona, Florida centers around freshwater springs and state parks with a mix of developed campgrounds and natural areas. Blue Spring State Park, just 5 miles north in Orange City, features crystal-clear 72-degree spring waters and campsites nestled among oak hammocks. Lake Monroe Park in nearby DeBary provides waterfront camping with boat access to the St. Johns River. Wekiwa Springs State Park, approximately 20 miles southwest, offers tent and RV camping with access to natural springs for swimming. Hontoon Island State Park, accessible only by boat or ferry, provides a more secluded camping experience on an island in the St. Johns River system.

Most campgrounds in the Deltona area remain open year-round, though reservations are strongly recommended during winter months (November-April) when northern visitors increase demand. Summer camping brings high humidity and afternoon thunderstorms, with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F. Mosquitoes and no-see-ums can be abundant, particularly near water. Fire restrictions may apply during dry periods, typically in spring. According to reviews, campsites at Blue Spring State Park provide "the best separation between sites of any Florida State Park," though they note "big rigs would have trouble maneuvering the tight roads."

The camping options near Deltona vary from primitive to full-service. Clearwater Lake and Alexander Springs Recreation Areas in Ocala National Forest (about 40 minutes northwest) offer more rustic camping with fewer amenities but greater privacy. Campers noted these areas have "well-shaded, private and spaced apart" sites with "excellent visibility to the mostly sand-bottomed swimming area." For those seeking full hookups, Orange City RV Resort and Wekiva Falls RV Resort provide comprehensive amenities including pools, laundry facilities, and organized activities. Most campgrounds are pet-friendly, though leash rules apply, and many offer kayak rentals for exploring the extensive waterways that define this region of Central Florida.
