Currently the property is raw land. With very little touch of man. It is in an old country neighborhood that touches a newer neighborhood with plenty of dining choices. There is a natural unkept pond with mucky dark water that has Lilly pads. There are parts of the Econ river that rise and lower with the seasons. There may or may not be chickens running the property. There are fallen trees and overgrown areas. There are some internal fences with gates we are working to remove or restructure. There is parking for off grid rvs. No amenities are offered currently. We behaved leashed dogs are allowed.

0.4mi from New Smyrna Beach · 3 sites · RVs · New Smyrna Beach, FL

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.

4. Eagle's Nest Farms

47mi from New Smyrna Beach · 1 site · Tent, RV · Crescent City, FL

First planted as a citrus grove in 1900, the farm produced fruit until 2023 when it was converted to the new home of Yaupon Brothers American Tea. Now, the historic buildings are available for wedding and events, and tours are offered daily. The property is currently being added to the National Register of Historic Places. We have two designated RV sites, one with power and septic, and one just with power. We also have one apartment available for use.

Weekend Trip to Wekiva Falls RV Resort

The site was great, had a view of the lagoon, it was near the store and bathroom. My site was all brick paved which was a bonus, kept all my gear clean. I probably had the tiniest camper at the whole resort. The resort offered the guests many amenities. Everyone I met was very nice. The resort was not far from bicycle trails and paddling on the Wekiva river.

This is a great resort with plenty of activities. Our site was easy to set up and close to the facilities and pool. The staff planned lots of weekend activities. I was only transiting the area for a race so I couldn't take part but everything looked great.

Most site have water and pwr which is a plus. No issues with no see ums at all in late sept. I had a spot all the way in the back that was secluded and quiet. If you not use to train noise then take a sleeping pill there are trains that pass by at any hour and the horn is loud. Overall it's a great quiet location not to far from the beaches. To drive on the beach is 32 bucks for non-residents. Craig and his wife are real cool.

The neighborhood is a lush subtropical paradise with the beach, historic sites of interest, and seafood restaurants with laguna views all within walking and biking distance along paved trails. The site is nicely set aside and graded with water and electrical services and a canopy of live oak lot by accent lights. Pretty magical, really.

Great location! You can bike ride to the beach or Uber. Located in a nice area and we even walked to dinner one night. We enjoyed not only the beach and restaurants but the lighthouse too (about 20-25 min drive). They were great hosts and it was a great camping site! Thanks for having us!

Great campsite! Pacefull and quiet. Big space with full hookups So close to Flagler Avenue but far enough to be chill. Craig was so kind and lent me an 30/50 amp adapter that I didn’t have.

This was a perfect spot for a camper van! The location was ideal for the beach and walking distance to Off the Hook Restaurant. Enough shade to keep cool during the day and the outdoor shower was a huge bonus! Meredith communication was very much appreciated as well. We will definitely be back!!!

Craig was a great host, easy going and personable. Staying at Craig’s place was our second Hipcamp experience, and it was everything we could have asked for. The RV space is simply appointed with all the services, and access was unencumbered in our 24’ class-C motorhome. The neighborhood felt safe and provided a great place to walk our cattledog, Indigo. Fortunately Craig’s dog is easygoing and friendly like his “owner.” He tolerated our not so easygoing and not so friendly 11 year old Indigo girl. We would certainly stay here again should we ever find ourselves traveling down the east coast of Florida.

Weekend Trip to Patmos Island

We loved it here. It was so peaceful and quiet. The land is beautiful and well maintained and was perfect for walking our over-excited dog. It was his first ever camping trip in our new to us travel trailer, so he was already dealing with a lot of change. Having his walks be so low key instead of being in a busy campground made it much more relaxing for all of us. The site was clean, the full hookups were in excellent working order, and there's a trash can and recycling bin right on it which was super convenient. Craig was very welcoming. We felt safe and comfortable and really enjoyed our little getaway.

Weekend Trip to The Surf Hammock

The property was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay on Ponce. We did a lot of camping while we were in Florida and this was one of the best spots. The lights on the property are a wonderful touch and make it super easy at night. You are right next to the house but we were at the beach and out to eat for most of the day so privacy was not a concern for us.

Weekend Trip to The Surf Hammock

What a magical property!!! We couldn't get enough of the live oaks and beautiful palms drawing a perimeter around the backyard. The fire pit and the outdoor shower gave us a much needed respite on our van trip south. The twinkly lights at night were so vibey - we just had the best time here. Couple tips for travelers: - The property is bordered by roads, so there is some road noise. It was worth it for the beautiful yard tho. - bring your own wood (there was wood on the property for us but it was wet) - if you want to bring dogs to the beach, you can only go to little dog beach on the southern tip of the inlet. It's a small beach and popular - so if your dog isn't great with others, you'll need to go elsewhere. We found a great stretch of beach which we could go with our lil monster: park for free at Andy Romano Beachfront Park, and walk north along the beach.
