The best beach camping near New Smyrna Beach

·

New Smyrna Beach lines up over 400 beach camping options, giving you easy access to sun, sand, and ocean breezes. Most sites put you steps from the water, so you can fall asleep to the sound of waves and start your mornings with a swim. Expect campgrounds with fire rings, showers, and toilets—essentials after a salty day. Fishing spots draw both beginners and old hands, and wildlife-watching gets lively when the pelicans swoop low. Top picks include Forever Young Farm (136 reviews), Patmos Island (36 reviews), and Beach at the Oaks (18 reviews)—each with its own local following. Average rates run about $55 per night, but you can snag a spot for as little as $25. Bring your gear, your appetite for fresh air, and settle in where the land meets the Atlantic.

In our pumphouse you will find many family games, from 3 legged races, sack races, egg races, badminton, to tiki toss. There are other campers on the property so is it more like a small campground. Come swim, paddle around the pond on our kayak, jump on the trampoline, play on the swings, or build a campfire by the pond.

We have 3 acres right in the middle of town in New Smyrna Beach. It's a quiet setting behind Sacred Heart church, sandwiched between a large open field and the railroad tracks far in back behind trees. We've worked hard to make it a cozy retreat - like setting where people can spend a few nights in an affordable manner just 5 minutes from the beaches and fun New Smyrna Beach attractions. Biking, boating, sunning, fishing, paddle-boarding, kayaking, eating... all within a few minutes of your quiet retreat. Our house is on the property but it's 200 feet away behind trees/bushes. It's a 100 year old house built from the wood of a church in NSB. Lifted up on a Coquina rock wall it is quite unique. There is a large secluded area where your dogs can be run. We have dogs too but there's plenty of room to share.
