Learn more about alerts →Paddlers and birders who visit October through March get the most out of this place: rent a kayak from the on-site outpost, fish the tidal Tomoka River, and watch ospreys and wading birds from Spanish-moss-draped sites that feel far more private than 100-site parks usually do.
Summer visits mean real mosquitoes and Florida humidity that reviewers don't understate, and a handful of past visitors describe experiences that would feel unwelcoming to campers outside the local cultural mainstream, so those travelers should factor that into the decision.

This campground welcomes visitors year-round, but timing your trip can make all the difference in your comfort level. Plan your visit between October and March, and you'll be rewarded with pleasant temperatures perfect for hiking, mild evenings ideal for campfires, and blissfully fewer mosquitoes. Summer camping is certainly an option for the adventurous, but come prepared: expect warm, humid days punctuated by dramatic afternoon thunderstorms that roll in like clockwork, and pack plenty of bug spray for the more active insect population.
Oct–Mar recommended; winter months provide the most comfortable camping conditions.
