Camp Shiloh

1 site ¡ RV, Tent1 acre ¡ Oak Hill, FL
Shiloh was the name of an early Florida town that was once located just down the road from our property. It was populated by hardy, adventurous folks who made a way for themselves and their families by clearing a spot along the river, building a home and forging a life in a new location. But Shiloh is now lost, literally removed from the maps. It no longer exists. When NASA needed a perimeter zone for the newly emerging space program in the 1950s, the federal government purchased large swaths of land between Oak Hill and Titusville, FL. Residents were bought out and forced to move. Houses were relocated or demolished. Shiloh disappeared into history while the space age pushed forward into the future.However... some foundations still can be found in the woods not far away, if you know where to look. There are even cemeteries that remain, whispering the names of individuals and families.As a tribute to those early adventurers, we have named our place Camp Shiloh. We honor the past, we respect the wild Florida that surrounds us, and we celebrate the future as we watch rocket launches from our porch. You are welcome to stay on the property while you explore the local communities of New Smyrna and Titusville, relax at beautiful Canaveral National Seashore, attend races in Daytona, visit amusement parks in Orlando... or whatever! It’s up to you. We are a peaceful, safe location from which you can stage your Florida adventure. Come on by. We look forward to hosting you!Learn more about this land:(Not a commercial campground.)

The best camping near Canaveral National Seashore guide

Overview

About

Soak up some sun the natural way on the largest untouched beach along Florida's east coast. With 24 miles of white-sand beaches, this national seashore is a haven for nature lovers.

Space shuttles may be the best-known attraction of the Canaveral area. But when it comes to unique coastal habitats, this shoreline is unrivaled. Sea turtles, manatees, and other endangered species call this pristine park home. Fortunately, it remains largely undeveloped, save for a boardwalk across the dunes. While there are restrooms (always a plus), keep in mind you have to pack in your own food and drinking water.

Coming from the south entrance near Titusville, you see more than just wildlife bathing au naturel. The place hosts a popular nude beach. Drive a bit further, and you can pull into one of 13 spacious parking lots. The northern entrance is decidedly quieter. Plus, you have easier access to the Castle Windy and Eldora Hammock trails.

The calm waters are a kayaker's paradise. Shallow inlets are the best places to launch your canoe, kayak, or stand-up paddleboard. For some onshore fun, comb the beach for seashells and sea glass. Or, take the short hike to Turtle Mound, a historic Native American shell mound.

Plan your visit between October and April to see huge flocks of migrating birds. If you're traveling in June or July, you can even embark on a turtle nesting tour. Just remember to arm yourself with bug spray—It's not called Mosquito Lagoon for nothing! Rustic campsites are located on boat-accessible lagoon islands, though you need a permit to set up camp.

Whether you're wandering through dense hammocks or capturing photos of rare shorebirds, this national seashore truly has something for everyone.
