The best campgrounds near Ormond Beach, Florida with horseback riding

Somewhere between Jacksonville, Gainesville, and Orlando, Ormond Beach sets itself apart—thanks in no small part to its coastal flair and small town appeal. Just north of Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach predominantly resides on mainland Florida, though a fraction of the city sits on a barrier island across the Halifax River. The city parallels the Atlantic Ocean, and Ormond Beach campgrounds pepper the shoreline. Campers can stop by the Ormond Memorial Art Museum & Gardens before continuing to an equally stunning campsite. You’ll also find various parks and forests within driving distance, so you’re never far from adventure.

Campsites are on a small horse farm located just 4 miles from downtown St Augustine and 5 miles from Vilano Beach. Many hiking and water activities within 30 minutes. You select the space you where you wish to set up camp. The entrance off the dirt road is tricky for large rigs or trailers more than 35' may not have easy access. Our sites offer potable water, a shower, picnic tables, a toilet, wifi, trash disposal, space for campfires, and we are pet friendly! We can accommodate tents, RVs, and trailers. Our guests love staying here: "Camping at Gayle’s property was an amazing experience. We shared the field with 3 other campers but there was still plenty of room between sites. Land is flat and has fire pit spaces and BBQ grills. Outdoor shower was appreciated even though we didn’t use it & it was great to have the port-o-potty on site. The best part was getting to see the animals!"

Welcome to our little homestead. Nestled amidst the serene countryside, this quaint campground offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. Surrounded by lush farms and sprawling horse pastures, the air is filled with the sweet scent of wildflowers and the gentle rustle of leaves. With only a handful of RV spots and a few cozy tents scattered among the trees, guests can truly reconnect with nature while roasting marshmallows over crackling campfires under a blanket of stars. Here, the pace slows down, allowing visitors to unwind and immerse themselves in the simple pleasures of rural life. We just finished (well 2 years ago) traveling the country in an RV with five of our 7 kids (oldest two were in college) and we had a terrible time finding places to stay in Saint Augustine when we came home to visit. I hope that we can offer some nice people a safe and beautiful place to park their rig. Things to do: The property is near the historic St. Augustine, a fun walkable/bikeable city, lots of state parks and of course an awesome beach! Other things to note: 6 Miles away is 4 Lakes Campground with dumping facilities

Rennigers Antique Center is located right up the street (less than 5 minutes away) for some great picking. We are conveniently close to the Central Florida Attractions and the beach on both east and west coasts within an hour drivep.

We offer youth day camps on various dates, pony rides and a tour of our farm animals for an additional fee. Reservations required in advance due to the other activities we have going on. In 2007, we had no idea where this adventure was going to take us. Our small urban farm was sharing our miniature animals with assisted living facilities and Neulife, where we have 3 miniature horses that live on their property. Little by little we have evolved into more of a need to share with the community and help others with the relaxing qualities our farm and animals have to offer, we want to be able to share and better educate with hands on experiences, teach kindness, patience, confidence and help others to be the best they can be. Thank you for your time and if you visit, share a review! Reviews are the best way for us to better ourselves and your experience. Have a great stay!

The amenities include a pavilion with an outside kitchen, dinning and living area. There is also a ( large shed converted to a ) cook shack with a full size fridge, microwave, electric burners and a toaster oven. There is also a bathroom with a full-size shower/tub, hot water and a toilet. It comes with all of the basics to be comfortable while you camp. Also, you have a good chance of being alone. we usually only book 1 party at a time, Just message me to confirm. The property has enough lighting to completely light up the common area. There is also water and electric all over the property. There is a shooting range right outside of the property that is part of the forest. There is Blue Sink several miles away, it is a spring feed swimming hole that is deep enough for SCUBA. There is horse trails and OHV trails as well. This camp was a hunting camp and still has an huge animal cleaning station on the back side of the property, with water, drainage, power, lighting and all stainless steel sinks and counters. Come to play and explore or come to relax. Our camp is always (slowly)being Improved, you might see work in progress so be aware there may be a consolidated area that looks messy. This is a camp, everything gets dusty, and there are bugs. We keep the yard kept up and do what we can to limit bugs in the common area. I recommend a 4x4 although I don’t own one my self. The roads are usually decent, but the weather has a lot to do with roads in the forest.

2 nights at La Quinta Bonita Homestead

I stayed 2 nights at La Quinta Bonita and I’ll tell you what. - what a peaceful little retreat with such down-to-earth and easy-going helpful hosts! If only time and life had allowed for a longer stay, I would not have hesitated to extend mine. With the exception of nature’s nightly medley of hoots and howls (which is what this city boy NEEDS on retreats! lol ), the quiet was very refreshing. The little camper is bigger than meets the eye when you enter it. Shower, toilet, all I needed worked well. Running water throughout. Fresh eggs and hand-picked veggies for breakfast was a plus. Best omelet I’ve made in a long time. When I arrived, I was shown around and if I needed help, it was easy to get. I’m very much looking forward to many visits to come.

The best camping near Ormond Beach with horseback riding guide

Where to go

Tiger Bay State Forest

You won’t see any tigers at Tiger Bay State Forest—but you will see white-tailed deer, sparrows, and the occasional bald eagle. Beyond its wildlife, this forest comes with all of the fixings. Think: equestrian access, lakes and ponds ripe for fishing, and, of course, plenty of hiking trails. The final perk of the forest? Campsites, available for both you and your horse.

Tomoka State Park

Just a few minutes from Ormond Beach, Tomoka State Park invites boaters and birdwatchers alike. More than 160 species of birds call this park home, and, for the duration of your camping trip, so can you. Tomoka State Park campgrounds come with access to nature trails, picnic areas, and restrooms, making this sprawling park a one-stop shop for all of your camping whims.

Bulow Creek State Park

After visiting Tomoka State Park, you may be tempted to stay put. However, if you head just slightly north, you’ll quickly reach Bulow Creek State Park, which warrants its own visit. The park actually harbors one of the South’s largest remaining live oak trees. Dubbed the “Fairchild Oak,” the tree has seen the area through the last 400 years. Take a seat at the park’s picnic area and soak up the oak.

When to go

Brush shoulders with Ormond Beach during the shoulder months. Fall and spring are ideal for a Florida camping getaway, as summer brings bugs to the area’s forests and parks. Likewise, August is the rainiest month, so come when the weather—and the mosquitoes—won’t work against you. As if you needed another incentive, the shoulder months also see bird migrations, so you’re likely to spot some of Florida’s most interesting species.
