About Bennett Field Group Camp

Bennett Field Group Camp sits in Tiger Bay State Forest, a 27,000-acre preserve near Daytona Beach. The primitive group site includes vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables. Groups book this spot for access to miles of trails, fishing in forest lakes, and a base camp for exploring Florida's sandhill and wetland terrain.

Bennett Field Group Camp offers a primitive camping experience with no modern facilities, focused on outdoor group activities.

Historical Significance

The Pershing Highway Trail runs a mile across original brick pavement laid in 1917. The moss-covered bricks mark Florida's early automotive age, now weathered into a scenic forest path.

Weather and SeasonsSpring delivers the most comfortable conditions. Daytime highs range from the low 70s to low 80s°F, humidity drops, and wildflowers bloom. Migratory birds pass through, ponds fill for fishing, and evening fire-ring gatherings stay pleasant. Expect moderate weekend crowds and occasional spring rains. Summer brings afternoon thunderstorms and heat. Winter offers crisp, dry days with mild temperatures for hiking and biking.

ElevationThe campground rests on Florida's characteristic gentle terrain, where subtle changes in elevation create diverse microclimates and ecosystems throughout the forest.

Natural Features and ScenerySituated in a 27,000-acre preserve of woodlands and wetlands in Volusia County, featuring flat terrain typical of central Florida, two lakes (Indian Lake and Scoggin Lake), several fishing ponds (Coon Pond, Rattlesnake Pond, Woody Pond, Ranch Pond), and serving as a critical aquifer recharge area.[1][2]

Geological RegionBennett Field Group Camp sits within the remarkable Tiger Bay State Forest, a 27,000-acre testament to Florida's geological diversity. This expansive preserve showcases the state's unique hydrology, where ancient sand ridges alternate with wetland depressions, creating a mosaic of habitats. The forest's geological foundation plays a starring role in the region's water cycle, with sandy soils allowing rainfall to percolate directly into the Floridan Aquifer below. Scattered throughout are numerous lakes and ponds—some carved by nature over millennia, others created by human hands—each contributing to the complex watershed that makes this area so ecologically precious. This geological diversity not only shapes the landscape's beauty but also supports the incredible biodiversity that makes every visit a new discovery.

Scenic ViewsSpecific vista descriptions are missing, but the location is within a lush forest environment.

Scout troops, hiking clubs, or friend groups who want a genuine backcountry base at no cost. Spring is the sweet spot: low humidity, decent fishing at Coon Pond and Rattlesnake Pond, and miles of trails including the 1917-era brick Pershing Highway Trail. Cell signal is solid (AT

Skip if

Families or groups who need showers, potable water, or any hookups will find the reality blunt: bring every drop of drinking water you'll use. Also, the Indian Lake Road bridge closes October 3, 2025, so access shifts to State Road 40 at Rima Ridge Road's north end.
