Best Campgrounds near Palm Coast, FL

1,024 Reviews

Palm Coast, Florida provides camping options along both oceanfront and inland waterways, with several state parks and private campgrounds spanning a 30-mile coastal corridor. Gamble Rogers Memorial State Recreation Area offers beachfront sites with direct Atlantic Ocean access, while Princess Place Preserve features more rustic camping experiences with historical buildings. Campground amenities range from primitive tent sites to full-hookup RV facilities, with several locations offering cabin rentals including Tomoka State Park, North Beach Camp Resort, and Bulow RV Resort where travelers can experience coastal Florida without traditional camping equipment.

Access to most campgrounds requires advance reservations, especially during the winter months when Florida's mild temperatures attract seasonal campers. Many state park campgrounds book up 11 months in advance, particularly those with beachfront sites. "Princess place is lovingly cared for by the Rangers and administration. It is primitive camping. Water is non-potable so bring plenty," noted one camper about the preserve's more rustic experience. Campgrounds near Palm Coast typically remain open year-round, though summer heat and humidity can be challenging for tent campers unaccustomed to Florida's climate. Hurricane season (June through November) occasionally impacts camping plans, with some campgrounds closing temporarily for storm preparation or recovery.

The Atlantic coastline provides distinctive camping experiences with direct beach access at several locations. Campers frequently mention the appeal of oceanfront sites at Flagler by the Sea Campground and Treasure by the Sea, where only a few steps separate RV sites from the beach. Inland options like Bulow Creek State Park offer more sheltered camping with Spanish moss-draped oak hammocks. Several reviewers highlighted the exceptional fishing opportunities near Palm Coast, particularly at freshwater destinations like Crescent Lake. "This park has a masterplan that has been carefully thought through," wrote one visitor about Anastasia State Park, praising its well-designed layout that balances privacy with community connections through thoughtfully placed roads and trails. Most campgrounds in the region provide direct water access for fishing, paddling, and wildlife viewing.

    Bennett Field Group Camp — Tiger Bay State Forest

    Where Roughing It Meets Room for the Whole Crew

    If you’ve ever thought, "I love camping, but wouldn’t it be fun to bring along 40 of my closest friends?” then Bennett Field Group Camp in Tiger Bay State Forest is your jackpot. This is no dainty, couple’s hideaway. Nope, it’s a big, open field tucked under the pines where your scout troop, church group or family reunion can spread out and see who snores loudest at night. The atmosphere here is pure 'back-to-basics,’ but with just enough orderliness to keep it from feeling like you’re re-creating 'Lord of the Flies' (and if you don't know this reference, you need to go to Amazon right now and have this book sent to you - it will open your world).

    Facilities are rustic yet practical – think of it as camping with training wheels. There are picnic tables, grills and a giant fire ring where ghost stories practically tell themselves. No water or electric hookups at the sites, so RVs and glampers might feel like they’ve been tricked into a survival challenge. But if you’re rocking tents, hammocks or an old-school camper, you’ll be just fine. Restroom facilities are on the primitive (nearly caveman) side – but trust me, it's better than a shovel and a prayer, but not spa-level, so bring your hand sanitizer and a sense of humor. Pets are welcome, but fair warning: they’ll come home smelling like pine needles and campfire.

    The real treat here is Tiger Bay’s 30,000 acres of pine needle wilderness just beyond camp. Hiking trails thread through longleaf pine, palmetto flats and hidden ponds where herons stalk like feathery ninjas. Bikers can hit the sandy forest roads and if you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of deer, turkeys or the occasional black bear giving you the ‘you don’t belong here’ side-eye. And being so close to Daytona, you can swap the forest’s symphony of crickets and symphony of frogs for NASCAR’s roar within a 20-minute drive.

    Insider Tips? Sure, here’s a handful: (1) If you’re camping with a large group, snag the shady perimeter spots – less dew in the morning and fewer pinecones bonking you on the head; (2) For grub, head to Daytona’s Caribbean Jack’s on the marina where you'll gnosh on great seafood, fruity drinks and live music that makes you forget you’re only half-clean from the woods; (3) Kayakers should paddle the nearby Tomoka River as it’s calm, scenic and full of birdlife that will happily ignore your paddling form; and (4) Forgot half your gear? Don’t sweat it as the Bass Pro Shop over in Daytona, which is just a stone's throw from this particular CG has everything from tents to marshmallow roasters, and you’ll probably leave with three things you didn’t need but had to have; and (4) In case you need to load up on low-cost fuel, there's the Costco that's located just behind the Bass Pro Shop, so you can not only load up on supplies, but load up on cheap fuel too.

    Happy Camping!

    Trout Lake Primitive Sites

    Primitive!

    So I was desperate trying to find my very first primitive camp site and started to panic and then came across the review "you might get pinstripes", well let me tell you the trail to the lake is so narrow I wasn't sure I was driving my Chevy Malibu through the forest because it was so overgrown. I started panicking and trying to find a turn around after going through a very soft sandy spot. Figured I'd never be able to get out or reverse. Then the lake appeared and someone left some firewood so I figured better pitch my tent fast before dark. I was scared to death all night alone , I had a black bear sighting that afternoon and I had no bear spray no cellphone service but all there was was whispering pines! It was soothing, and decided if I had to I could spend the night in car. It rained all night and morning. I knew I couldn't drive out or take the risk. I spent the second night. It's a beautiful lake and forest. The setting is breathtaking. I'd go back in a proper vehicle!

    Youth Primitive Campground - Tomoka State Park

    Perfect Riverside Youth Group Camping Haven

    If you have hiking, canoeing, fishing, boating, picnicking, kayaking and bird watching on your mind and are looking for a great place that ticks all of these boxes and more, than you definitely want to give Tomoka State Park your due consideration. While I’ve camped here before in the main campground – which is nothing short of amazing – I just recently learned that there’s a Youth Campground that can be reserved (only by calling the main office here at Tomoka SP) for larger groups, so when I was invited to join my buddy’s boy scout group outing here, I jumped at the chance.

    What I love most about Tomoka State Park, especially as I was there to help guide a large group of teens, was all of the exploration that exists, from no shortage of flora like wild coffee bushes, tropical sage, green-fly orchids and of course, all of the live oak hammocks just dripping with Spanish moss. From a fauna standpoint, there’s white-tailed deer, otters, opossums, raccoons and even bobcats that come out closer to sunset as well as throughout the night, so you definitely want to ensure you are packing up everything before turning in. Of course, the stand-out attraction here is the immediate access to the Halifax River, where you can eyeball some coastal inhabitants like oysters, fiddler crabs and countless birds like blue herons, ospreys and eagles who prey on the ample fish that abounds here like redfish, snook, tarpon, black drum and seatrout. And if you keep your eyes open and get lucky, you may also see otters and dolphins.

    As for the campground, we had the entire place to ourselves for the weekend we went camping, so the sheer size of this place is massive – where there easily could be 3-4 different large-sized groups camping without tripping over one another. The ground was a mixture of both dirt and finely-ground sand with uneven patches of land scattered throughout the grounds. A lot of the picnic tables and benches were definitely worn and likely in need of some refurbishment (or replacement altogether) before too much longer. There were scattered concrete slabs around various areas of the campground – some with picnic tables bolted into the ground, while others were bare – the latter of which we used to organize our tent kitchen and eating area around. The CG had decent stand-up grills with adjustable levels for grilling at different heights, but we found that given we were a group, these grills were not large enough nor were there enough for us to BBQ everything we had planned on with our troop, but as we had brought additional grills ourselves, we didn’t have any issues.  Net-net, if you are here for a picnic, the grill situation is fine, but if you are here with a much larger group, then you better bring your own kitchen gear.

    Tree cover was light to non-existent in the center of the campground (so unless you want to get scorched by the unrelenting Florida sun, bring your own shade with you), but the surrounding perimeter was lush with thick jungle-like foliage of ferns and brush palms. A handful of scattered hanging Ts were provided for us to hang garbage and lanterns from and there were a number of solo standing water spigots to draw non-potable water from. The restroom and shower facility was fairly good with external showering hoses providing decent hot water and while the restroom itself was basic, it did have an actual toilet and working hot / cold water sink and paper towel dispenser - which for a primitive campsite is pretty amazing. Nearby there were a handful of covered shelters with additional picnic tables along with a sand volleyball court, which was definitely a bonus for the boys. Further afield, there’s a handful of great docks to either fish from or carefully launch a kayak or canoe from.

    Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) You will want to heed all of the signs that properly warn you about both alligators and snakes – they are real, abundant with this place having had a lot of issues with people not taking these warnings seriously; (2) If you are boating in these parts with an engine, you will want to take note that there’s ample manatees to steer clear of as well as be very aware that there are a number of places, particularly on the inlet of the Tomoka River that are quite shallow, depending upon the timing of the tides; (3) In the event that you need ANYTHING while visiting Tomoka SP, you should definitely make it a point to stop by the very well-appointed Tomoka Outpost and say hello to Captain Scott and his lovely wife Ashley, where here at this store, you’ll find that this place has everything from kayak, canoe and paddleboard rentals, guided boat tours, firewood, bait and ice for sale, snacks, beverages as well as beer & wine, including their very own local Tomoka EPA brew, which you can enjoy at the river dock patio overlooking the Tomoka River.

    Happy Camping!

    Ponderosa Adult RV Park

    Keep On Mosey'ing Past This RV Ranch

    Maybe it was the descriptor of ‘Adult’ that grabbed my attention or the fact that along this stretch of US1, there’s not a whole lot of competition for attractions that catches one’s eye. If you find yourself pondering a stay at Ponderosa Adult RV(apart from the prerequisite check of your ID), you likely are here because you have either gotten yourself lost or it is very late in the evening and you simply need a place to‘drop anchor’ for the night.

    Whatever the reason you find yourself out in the boondocks here, I would certainly recommend taking a hard pass on this little outcrop of an RV parking lot for a myriad of reasons. First of all, this patch of land is pretty rough– almost as rough as the‘neighbors’ you will encounter if you choose to stay here. There’s a single loop that goes around this place(conveniently named Ponderosa Lane, although it should be renamed loop or circle, right?) with only about two dozen or so slots available with about half of these being of the semi-permanent varietal with the other half occupied by proper RV’ers enroute no doubt to somewhere that’s more promising. As for amenities, there’s not a whole lot apart from a pretty unshapely pebble-strewn pathway, but watch out for all of the potholes(and being from Chicago, that’s saying something)! There’s electric and water hook-ups and a dumpster at the back of the place, but that’s about it.

    Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) Keep driving past this RV dump and look for higher ground – within a 30 minute drive of this place you’ll be able to find MUCH better accommodations – just look at my other reviews here on TheDyrt for nearby places that offer a much better experience, such as Palm Coast RV Park, just up the road past Bunnell; (2) If you do have to stay here for some reason, get in late and leave early; (3) Looking for nearby attractions or something to do? I would recommend heading east on Marco Polo Boulevard and crossing I95 to Bulow Creek State Park where you’ll find no shortage of amazing hiking pathways as well as kayak entry points and fishing holes to cast a line in; and (4) For those hauling an ATV, due south of Ponderosa Adult RV Park is something called Florida Cracker Ranch, which is basically a big open mud pit for all your ATV mud-flinging pleasure.

    Happy Camping!

    Highbanks Marina & Camp Resort

    Camelot on the River (With a Pool Nicer Than Your HOA)

    Nestled along the St. Johns River in DeBary, Highbanks Marina & Camp Resort is a 25-acre playground where RVers and boaters mingle under giant oaks and Spanish moss. Locals call it ‘Camelot on the River,’ though I’m quite sure Arthur never had 50-amp hookups or a bait shop. First impressions? Think Old Florida charm, river breezes and a place where your neighbor might offer you both a cold beer and unsolicited fishing advice.  Unfortunately, there's no primitive camping here for mi tent pitchin' bredren.

    The campground packs plenty of creature comforts. RV sites come with full hookups (30 / 50 amp electric, water, sewer), and most are shaded enough to keep your AC from begging for mercy. There’s a 30'X60' swimming pool (read: bigger than your neighbor’s backyard dream), a recreation hall, horseshoe pits, bocce ball and laundries. The camp store is less ‘convenience shop’ and more ‘bait & souvenirs,’ with everything from fishing gear to trinkets you’ll later wonder why you bought. Then there’s the 72-slip marina where your kayak can feel fancy just by association with the pontoon crowd.

    The setting is pure St. Johns River magic. You can paddle out and watch herons glide by, manatees surface like old river monks or gators give you side-eye. Kayakers rave about the downstream trip to Blue Spring, where you can float past manatees before your coffee gets cold. When you’re done pretending you’re an extra in a National Geographic documentary, DeBary and Deltona are just minutes away for groceries, supplies and a change of scenery.

    Insider Tips? Yeah, you know you are just jonesing for some, right? Here they are: (1) Riverfront sites are the crown jewels at this RV encampment, but book early unless you like camping by the dump station and telling people it’s ‘rustic charm.’; (2) Don’t skip the marina rentals as you’ll look cooler launching a pontoon, but the kayaks give you the better wildlife bragging rights; (3) The on-site Swamp House Grill & Tiki Bar is a must with its fried seafood, rum-fueled tiki drinks along with the chance to meet locals who definitely have fish stories longer than your RV; (4) Some sites feel more ‘neighbors with benefits’ (read: tight) than ‘sprawling privacy,’ so if this of concern for you, do yourself a ‘favor flave’ and grab a spot near the office or look towards the open loops for more elbow room; (5) If you missed it, for mi oar rowin’ bredren, kayak to Blue Spring: it’s the best free manatee show in Florida (sorry, SeaWorld!); and (6) In the event that you’ve already checked out the on-site Swamp House Grill and want to try something new, hit up Hontoon Landing Restaurant for casual riverside eats, Blue Spring Café serving up biscuits the size of your face or DeBary Hall’s nearby eateries for a dose of history and hearty Southern comfort.

    Anastasia State Park Campground

    Sand Dunes & Sea Breezes Near Ancient City

    I’m following up on my review from over a year ago with updated insights, additional photos and a quick breakdown of HIGHLIGHTS and LOWLIGHTS: 

    HIGHLIGHTS: (1) 139 shaded sites nestled under live oaks dripping with Spanish moss and palmettos with water and electric hookups; (2) Quick access to 4 miles of pristine Atlantic beach; (3) Amenities include bathhouses, dump station, camp store and rental concession; (4) Nature trails and birding along salt marshes and dunes; (5) Minutes from downtown St. Augustine’s history and attractions; (6) Nearby restaurants include O’Steen’s Restaurant, which is famous for fried shrimp, Mellow Mushroom offering hippie-themed pies and Salt Life Food Shack offering up casual seafood with rooftop views. 

    LOWLIGHTS: (1) Tight sites where large RVs may struggle; (2) No sewer hookups at individual sites; (3) Reservations book up fast, especially weekends – trust me, this is one of the MOST POPULAR CAMPGROUNDS in all of Florida!; (4) Mosquitoes and no-see-ums thrive in warm months; and (5) Road noise from A1A can be noticeable.

    Tomoka State Park Campground

    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.

Guide to Palm Coast

Palm Coast camping areas span both coastal and inland environments with temperatures averaging 70-90°F in summer and 50-70°F in winter. Annual rainfall of 52 inches is concentrated from June through September, with afternoon thunderstorms common during summer months. The area sits at just 10 feet above sea level, making some campsites susceptible to seasonal flooding during heavy rainfall.

What to do

Paddling and kayaking opportunities: Anastasia State Park offers watercraft exploration along protected waterways. "From kayak rentals to live music, you don't want to miss this lovely state park. Try hiking to the Amphitheater or check out the old coquina quarry," notes Amelia W., highlighting the diverse water activities available beyond just swimming.

Cycling on beach trails: The packed sand at multiple beaches allows for fat-tire biking during low tide. "I enjoyed riding bikes around the different campgrounds," shares Jordan S. from Anastasia State Park, pointing out that cycling paths connect various beach access points.

Historic explorations: Within 20 minutes of most coastal campgrounds, visitors can explore Spanish colonial sites. "Close and far enough from some outings that provide live music," writes Issa F. about Anastasia State Park, referencing its proximity to historical attractions while maintaining a natural setting.

Bird watching at wildlife preserves: Princess Place Preserve features designated observation areas for spotting native and migratory birds. "There's an Eagles Nest Viewing Area," mentions Tina M., who explored the preserve's 2.5-mile Hominy Trail with multiple bird watching stations.

What campers like

Privacy between sites: Vegetation barriers at many campgrounds create secluded camping experiences. "These campsites offer a serene amount of privacy with the space the campgrounds are working with. The foliage and large campsites provide a lot of privacy throughout the day and night," says Issa F. about Anastasia State Park.

Access to multiple water environments: Riverside Camping at Gamble Rogers offers both ocean and river options within walking distance. "Stayed at both the beach side and river side. Both are excellent. Beach side is right on the beach with several access points," explains Chris C., highlighting the dual-water experience.

Abundant wildlife viewing: Many campsites offer opportunities to observe local fauna from your site. "We saw deer every day on the long winding road to the state park," shares Debi M. about her stay at Faver-Dykes State Park, emphasizing the natural surroundings.

Clean facilities: Tomoka State Park maintains well-kept restrooms and showers. "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," notes Missi S., appreciating the campground amenities.

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Most oceanfront sites book 6-11 months in advance, especially during winter. "This was an easy park to get our motorhome into. The sandy road was a little bumpy in some areas but mostly smooth. The sites are wide and because of the vegetation almost impossible to see your neighbors," explains Brandie B. about Faver-Dykes State Park.

Insect precautions: No-see-ums and ticks are prevalent, particularly after rainfall. "Left park after one night because of ticks. There were tick warning signs posted," warns Annell N. about Faver-Dykes State Park, suggesting campers should bring appropriate repellent.

Water considerations: Princess Place Preserve and some other sites have limited potable water. "It is primitive camping. Water is non-potable so bring plenty," cautions Aida K. about Princess Place Preserve.

Road conditions: Some parks have sandy or unpaved access roads that can be challenging after rain. "The road isn't paved and can be quite bumpy during/after rain. I recommend bringing a bike to get around," advises Kelly R. about Tomoka State Park.

Tips for camping with families

Beach safety awareness: Rip currents affect some beach areas, requiring supervision for children. "Anastasia State park is a wonderfully relaxing state park. The beach is very clean and scenic. But beware because we did encounter a Portuguese Man O' War, but the park ranger was able to safely remove it," cautions Jordan S., highlighting both the beauty and potential hazards.

Educational opportunities: Beachside Camping at Gamble Rogers offers turtle nesting observation during summer months. "We got to see some whales and dolphins. They have fire rings and wood to buy pretty cheap," shares Corey L., noting the wildlife viewing opportunities beyond just the beach.

Playground accessibility: Some campgrounds feature play areas within sight of campsites. "We have site 33 which is amazing to let the kids play, you can see the playground but still have some privacy from it," explains Kat G. from Anastasia State Park.

Weather preparation: Afternoon thunderstorms are common in summer, requiring flexible activity planning. "In 50,000 miles on the road, I have never seen a cleaner shower room facility. I even used their shower facilities," notes Kevin H. about Riverside Camping at Gamble Rogers, highlighting the importance of having clean indoor facilities during inclement weather.

Tips from RVers

Site selection for size constraints: Beverly Beach Camptown RV Resort and other oceanfront locations have varying site dimensions. "This is a no thrills over priced campground on the beach. The spots are very close to each other and the power pedestal is a plug only (no breaker). It's an older campground that needs to be updated," advises Bill B., suggesting careful research before booking.

Full hookup availability: Most state parks offer water and electric only, while private campgrounds provide sewer connections. "Beverly beach puts you and your RV feet away from the Atlantic Ocean. They have options for many different budgets from deluxe oceanfront to cheaper sites that are across the street," explains Keith and Tia S., noting the range of hookup options.

Shade considerations: Tree coverage varies significantly between oceanfront and inland sites. "We loved how private our site felt within the big oak trees, but we noticed they had a lot of other sites that weren't as private," observes Kasey M. about Bulow RV Resort, highlighting the importance of researching specific sites within a campground.

Length restrictions: Several campgrounds limit RV size, particularly on the oceanfront. "Nice state park close to St Augustine. Large campsite with privacy," notes Christian D. about Anastasia State Park, where maximum length is 38 feet according to another reviewer.
