Palm Coast RV parks feature varying layouts and proximity to natural attractions. Elevation in this coastal region remains generally flat with sandy soil, making for stable RV parking at most facilities. Seasonal shifts bring humidity and afternoon thunderstorms during summer months, while winter offers milder temperatures with periodic cold fronts. Cell service varies between carriers throughout the region, with Verizon typically providing the most consistent coverage.
What to Do
Beach access: Beverly Beach Camptown RV Resort offers direct ocean access. "Words cannot describe! Absolutely the best place to camp right on the beach in north Florida! Kinda pricy but unforgettable views and experience," notes Mark A.
Fishing opportunities: The region features multiple waterfront locations for anglers. "There's a nice little pond that sits in front of the property that even has a community boat that you can borrow in order to drop a line to catch some of the recently stocked fish supplies," according to a visitor at Palm Coast RV Park.
Historical sites: RVers can explore nearby historical areas like Bulow Plantation Ruins. "For those that enjoy hiking, I strongly recommend heading just due south of this RV resort to Bulow Plantation Ruins Historic Park, where you can hike Bulow Creek Canoe Trail," mentions a camper at Encore Sunshine Holiday Daytona.
Water activities: Kayaking and canoeing access points abound. "When you get tired of getting enough salt water and beach, be sure to head south to Gamble Rogers Memorial State Recreational Area for 'frakish' (salt and fresh) water where there's a simply fantastic inlet to drop your kayak," advises a visitor at Treasure By The Sea.
What Campers Like
Waterfront views: Treasure By The Sea Mobile Home & RV Park offers premium oceanfront sites. "What you'll discover here at Treasure by the Sea is that indeed this is an absolute gem of a location as it puts you DIRECTLY in front of the white capped Atlantic waves," reports Stuart K.
Pool facilities: Many parks feature swimming pools as key amenities. "Great full hook up, paved site with easy access to beautiful St Augustine Beach. There's also a large, clean pool area with hot tub, big fishing dock with small boat/kayak ramp, and bar/restaurant at the pool," notes Amy M. about Ocean Grove RV Resort.
Wooded environments: Some parks feature natural shade. "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. They did have buddy sites, tent camping, and cabins," explains Kasey M. about Encore Bulow RV Resort.
Social atmosphere: Parks foster community connections. "The saving grace was the great sense of community amongst those staying at the park - a neighbor assisted us in backing in and everyone nearby was quite welcoming," writes JL about Sunshine Holiday Daytona.
What You Should Know
Wi-Fi reliability: Internet service varies significantly between locations. "WiFi was not good at all and many times disconnected," reports Jack B. about Ocean Grove RV Resort, while another camper at Compass RV Park notes "the cell service (for both T-Mobile and Verizon) didn't work very well, and the Wi-Fi is iffy at best."
Site spacing: Many parks maximize capacity which affects privacy. "This is the type of campground that wants to get as much as they can out of ever square inch. Roads are narrow, turns are sharp and sites are small," observes Jean F. about Sunshine Holiday Daytona.
Security features: Several parks implement safety measures. "Bonus points additionally as Sun Outdoors is protected by a remote-control operated entrance gate, along with a main office (where you'll check-in) that is fully staffed around the clock adding extra layers of security," notes a reviewer about Sun Outdoors St. Augustine.
Seasonal flooding: Some areas experience water issues during storms. "You will want to take note that when there's a tropical rain or passing by hurricane, the place is prone to flooding, so pick out your patch of paradise carefully," advises a visitor at Palm Coast RV Park.
Tips for Camping with Families
Kid-friendly amenities: Coral Sands RV Resort offers beach access and pool facilities. "Spot 25, direct view to the ocean. At the beach in seconds. Nice pool on the other side of hotel. Will be back!" shares Cody N.
Recreational options: Multiple parks feature children's play areas. "Lots of things for kids to do at the campground (pool, playground, cornhole, ping pong table, fishing pond, etc)," explains Daniel G. about Compass RV Park.
Nearby attractions: Family-friendly locations surround most parks. "We have camped here several times for cub scouts. Really nice clean park. Nice showers. Pool and store. Also close to Bruce Rossmeyers Daytona Harley Davidson," mentions Terrilynn J. about Sunshine Holiday Daytona.
Transportation alternatives: Some parks offer shuttle services to local attractions. "If you really want to get around and don't have a toad, you can buy a trolley ticket at the park ($24.00 for the day). They have a free shuttle that will take u to first trolley stop," advises Catherine A. about Compass RV Park.
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: Sun Outdoors St. Augustine offers multiple camping areas. "We have stayed in both 71 and 107. 107 is a buddy site and great if traveling with friends," notes Joe R.
Entrance navigation: Access routes may require planning. "Compass RV Resort was easy to get to. We followed the campground instructions versus our GPS," shares a visitor at Sun Outdoors St. Augustine.
Traffic considerations: Highway noise affects some locations. "I recommend grabbing one as far away from US1 as possible, to avoid hearing the constant swooshing of passing traffic," suggests a camper at Palm Coast RV Park.
Weather preparation: Seasonal weather patterns impact camping comfort. "Area was nothing but mud and fireants everywhere. Water pressure terrible and could not get faucet to stop leaking," warns Berg B. about Sunshine Holiday Daytona, highlighting the importance of checking weather forecasts before arrival.
