Best Campgrounds near Oak Hill, FL

Oak Hill, Florida provides water-oriented camping options with numerous RV parks and fish camps situated along the Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon. Established campgrounds like Indian Mound Fish Camp, Oak Hill Fish Camp, and Lathroms Landing RV Park offer direct water access, with many sites featuring boat ramps, fishing piers, and kayak launches. The area's proximity to Canaveral National Seashore creates opportunities for both developed camping and more primitive experiences on the barrier islands.

Seasonal considerations shape the camping experience in this coastal Florida region, with hurricane season (June through November) occasionally impacting availability. Most campgrounds remain open year-round with water and electric hookups, though summer brings higher humidity and mosquito activity. "While from my POV, that's the downside, the huge upside is that this destination places you in the front row of oceanside vistas and supremely easy access to the Atlantic Ocean," notes one reviewer of the area. The region's flat terrain makes most sites accessible without special vehicles, though boat-in camping to islands in Mosquito Lagoon requires watercraft and permits from Canaveral National Seashore.

Water access dominates the camping landscape around Oak Hill, with most developed campgrounds featuring direct river or lagoon frontage. Fishing opportunities attract many visitors, particularly for the area's famous redfish. Several campgrounds provide cabins as alternatives to traditional tent or RV camping, appealing to those seeking more comfort while maintaining water access. Reviews consistently mention wildlife viewing opportunities, with manatees, dolphins, and numerous bird species commonly sighted from waterfront sites. The Space Coast location adds a unique dimension to camping experiences, as one camper noted: "If you time it right, as you are on the Space Coast, you can see a rocket or satellite launching into the pristine star-speckled nighttime sky."

    Tomoka State Park Campground

    Beautiful but noisy

    Stayed in site 69. Bugs were decent honestly. Temps were very warm. Bathroom closed (only found out after check in) but campground is small so not too long of a walk. Road noise is moderate and some sites are very close together but others do a good job of having a barrier. There is plenty nearby in terms of hiking and kayaking.

    Alexander Springs Recreation Area

    Wonderful Summer Spot

    Friendly and professional hostesses, clean bathrooms and sites are very spacious and private. The spring is wonderful even on busy weekends is very manageable. Just watch for coons stealing your food.

    Lake Monroe Park

    Amazing retreat

    Honestly was my first time tent camping and I enjoyed this place very much. They offered running water as well as regular electric hookups so just bring you a decent long power cord and you are set for the night. There is a huge lake right by the site and showers are decent

    Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake

    Horrible

    Very rude lady at the front gate. Online it said they have primitive camping by the lake THERE'S EVEN A SIGN for it. She said they stopped doing that a long time ago. Soooo why does it still say it online and the sign still up. Now they closed the entire campground?? This campground really needs to get it's sh*t together. Get Better workers & management. The actual campground is fine.

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

    Beachside RV Roadside Parking Lane

    This is less an actual campground than it is a single gravel lane that runs parallel to A1A to the west and the white caps crashing down along a pretty spectacular piece of sand to the east where you’ll be treated to unbridled views of the Atlantic Ocean. So, technically I guess you could call this a CG, because there’s a designated place to park your RV or 5th Wheel (no, this is not a place for mi tent-pitchin’ bredren unless you like setting up camp on gravel with RVs on either side of you, and even then, I don't think they'll let you camp here in a tent), there’s a restroom / shower facility with a single coin-operated washer & dryer set and a perimeter complete with a key-coded security gate (which is pretty much open during the whole day), but other than the standard issued picnic table and fire ring at each site, there’s not much more to this place.

    Oh, but hey, you have DIRECT access to the Atlantic Ocean on a pretty decent beach (albeit that had just been nearly completely wiped out recently courtesy of Hurricanes Ian and Milton).

    The one thing I will say about this particular location – if you actually want to camp (er, park your RV) as close to the beach and ocean as possible, this is one of the very few places up and down the eastern Florida coastline that you can do this, while still having a fairly intimate, enjoyable experience. Add to this all of the other abundant natural amenities available in the other half of the park (just across the street, mind you), combined with being just a short drive to civilization back at Flagler Beach, and this spot is pretty difficult to pass up. Downsides? Sites are pretty close to one another and while there is decent brush-like perimeter that blocks you from seeing all the traffic passing by A1A, you will have next to no privacy between you and your neighbors here at this roadside CG.

    Finding Gamble Rogers Memorial SRA couldn’t be easier, and if you’re heading to this CG, you’ll just want to turn towards the beach from A1A, where the entrance to the CG is immediately on your right. You need only drive down the single gravel lane until you find your spot among the 34 or so slots that exist after first checking in at the Ranger Station that sits opposite this location on the other side of A1A. Apart from the massive attraction that is the beachhead itself, for the most part, all of the other amenities that you’ll want to take advantage of here at Gamble Rogers will be found on the Intracoastal side of the SRA where you’ll find hiking paths, 6 different sized covered pavilions that are perfect for a small family of 4 or can fit a BBQing family reunion of 100 or so – but I would highly recommend for the larger sized planned group events to reserve well in advance. This entire SRA is pet-friendly and there is a sanitary disposal for RVs and 5th Wheels along with standard water & electric hook-ups.

    Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) If you come toting a kayak or canoe, there is an excellent launch near the first set of covered pavilions on the Intracoastal, and if you don’t have your own, the good folks here at Gamble Rogers will gladly rent you one of theirs; (2) Whether you are staying beachside or riverfront, if you’ve got swimming on your mind, you’ll want to avoid going for a dip in the alligator-infested frackish waters of the Intracoastal and instead fare better in the ocean’s sea salt, but do beware of the warning flags as rip currents in this area can be quite unpredictable and thus dangerous; (3) There’s an excellent boat launch on the Intracoastal side with fairly wide access and a very minimal decline into the water, but you’ll want to motor slow given all of the manatees in the area;(4) The restroom facilities beachside are just mediocre and will certainly get the job done, but I found the bath house back on the Intracoastal side to be nothing short of spectacular, especially with the turbine-like ceiling fans that keep the place fresh and dry – not a bad place to hang wet clothes to let them dry; (5) When you grow weary of rummaging through your RV mini-fridge and wanna check out some local fare, while fairly touristy, we tried out the Funky Pelican, which has the long pier that was nearly destroyed from the last Hurricane that ripped through here, and have to admit that the seafood combination plate for $20 was most excellent; and (6) IMHO the best sites on the beachside are those located furthest south(#25-#34) as they are further away from the entrance and seem better shrouded from the traffic noise.

    Happy Camping!


Guide to Oak Hill

Oak Hill offers unique water-oriented camping experiences directly on Mosquito Lagoon and the Indian River. Campsites near Oak Hill, Florida range from established RV parks with full hookups to primitive island campsites accessible only by boat. The region's flat coastal terrain makes for easy navigation, with most campgrounds situated at sea level and experiencing typical Florida coastal weather patterns.

What to do

Wildlife viewing at dawn/dusk: At Indian Mound Fish Camp, the morning and evening hours provide excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. "You can spend an afternoon on the deck with a beverage. There will likely be some folks fishing, and there's a good chance you'll see Dolphin, and maybe Manatee," notes camper Mark S.

Kayaking to island campsites: For a more adventurous camping experience, paddle to remote island campsites in Mosquito Lagoon. "Launch at river breeze park, book through Canavaral National Seashore. 20 bucks a night your own island," recommends Ranae C. about Bissette Bay camping.

Space launch viewing: The Oak Hill area provides excellent vantage points for rocket launches. At Cape Kennedy RV Resort, "Stayed for the night to watch the SpaceX rocket launch. Great view as soon as it cleared the trees," reports Daniel G., highlighting a unique experience you can only get camping in this region.

What campers like

Waterfront access: Many camping areas offer direct water access for fishing and boating. At Lathroms Landing RV Park & Fish Camp, visitors appreciate the quick water access. "Generally a high caliper RV park... Nice little bay on the mosquito coast. Some shrimping, docks, kayaks, piers," shares John J.

Friendly staff and atmosphere: The local campgrounds are known for their welcoming environment. "Super friendly staff. The moment we checked in they greeted us with a complimentary beer. Our site had a great view of the lagoon," reports Nelson G. about his experience at Indian Mound Fish Camp.

Fishing opportunities: The region is renowned for excellent fishing. "I struck camp here late afternoon... By 6pm, I had 3 different fish being fired up on my campsite - red drum, silver mullet and spotted sea trout," shares Stuart K. about his primitive camping experience at Bissette Bay.

What you should know

Site spacing varies greatly: Some campgrounds offer spacious sites while others are more compact. At Sugar Mill Ruins Travel Park, "Sites were not huge, but had enough room. Lots of long term residents and regulars, so it was easy to get the local scoop," reports Nell D.

Cell service challenges: Connectivity can be limited at certain camping locations. "The internet is worse than pathetic. NONE of the carriers have consistent coverage. I have ATT, and most if the time I had nothing," warns Dean J. about Sugar Mill Ruins Travel Park.

Primitive camping preparation: For island camping spots, come fully prepared. "There's no direct access to reach this primitive campground here in Bissette Bay. But if you can manage to get here, you will find uninhibited paradise that very few venture to," explains Stuart K.

Tips for camping with families

Pool amenities: Several campgrounds offer swimming pools, perfect for keeping children entertained. "Clean, there's a pool and playground," notes Tonya B. about Cape Kennedy RV Resort, providing a welcome alternative to ocean swimming.

Safety considerations: When camping with children near water, always maintain supervision. "We kayaked to Shipyard Island and stayed 3 nights. Fishing was superb... We also brought our dogs. I only saw one raccoon but our dog managed to keep it away," shares a camper about Canaveral National Seashore.

Educational opportunities: The Space Coast location provides unique learning experiences. "Our first time camping in an rv and could not have picked a better spot. The staff were so helpful welcoming and friendly. Helped us get set up right for the first time and had loads of time for the kids," reports Russell S. about Cape Kennedy RV Resort.

Tips from RVers

Site selection importance: At many Oak Hill area campgrounds, choosing the right site makes a significant difference. "This campground has a split personality. The west side has nice wide concrete sites, the east side is on dirt and gravel and not so nice," advises Mark S. about Cape Kennedy RV Resort.

Water and power hookups: Be aware of the placement of utilities at certain campsites. "The water spigot at 153 was about two inches from the ground. Why?" questions a camper at Manatee Hammock Campground, highlighting the importance of bringing extension hoses.

Navigation challenges: Some campgrounds have tight roads that require careful maneuvering. "We are in a 33 ft tow behind travel trailer and we have plenty of length to our spot, but it was a tight squeeze to park in between a palm tree and the site line stake... I'd suggest preparing yourself for multi point turns to navigate the park," advises Ariel F. about Indian Mound Fish Camp.
