The best campgrounds near Sanford, Florida with hot tubs

Halfway between the waves of Daytona Beach to the north and Orlando’s theme parks to the south, Sanford is decidedly quieter and more laid back by comparison. Escape into nature through a network of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails, or travel alongside lush riverbanks at Blue Spring State Park to spot Florida’s iconic manatees. Snorkeling and scuba diving in the warm Florida waters are more great ways to spend a day, as is renting a canoe or kayak to paddle among crystal-clear emerald springs at Wekiwa Springs State Park. Group primitive campsites, RV camping with full hookups, and stylish glamping sites are all available near Sanford.

The Roots ReTREEt is situated on 4.5 acres tucked away in Old Florida of Volusia County.

Our little piece of paradise has so much serenity with a fully wooded landscape while its only miles from fun things to do: surfing, biking, hiking, boating, fishing, paddling, swimming and more! If you're lucky enough to experience the wildlife that shows up regularly, you could have the pleasure of seeing wild animals like: turkeys, deer, pigs, armadillos, hawks, dragonflies, butterflies, turtles and many others. We're proud of our oasis and thrilled to share it with folks that appreciate protected land as much as we do. The land is part of the resource corridor, which is protected wetlands and it is environmentally sensitive and ecologically significant. This means that it is an ecosystem that supports the wildlife and cannot be touched or manipulated in any way. Lucy's place is our community space for you and your family's use. It has lots of seating, plenty of places to relax, a grill and outdoor sink for cooking, and a gas fireplace to enjoy the scenery at night.

Weekend Trip to Roots ReTREEt in Old Florida

Jay’s place is such a gem! I booked last minute for one night on my way to south Florida and wish I could have stayed longer. The property is huge and beautiful, with big shade trees and a relaxed, old Florida vibe. Jay was out of town during my stay but Todd and Liz, the hosts/caretakers, could not have been nicer or more accommodating (thanks again for everything Liz!) Highly recommended!

I recently had the pleasure of using Hi-Camp for my first camping experience, and it was truly exceptional! Kennedy and Kristina were outstanding hosts, going above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Kennedy, in particular, graciously waited for us to arrive well past our scheduled check-in time, providing us with a warm welcome and a comprehensive tour of the campsite. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, and falling asleep to the soothing sounds of the lake waves was just what I needed to unwind. I couldn't have asked for a better getaway experience. I highly recommend Kennedy’s Land to anyone looking for a serene escape into nature!

We loved staying at Jay's. He was very welcoming and went out of his way to help us out. The description is exactly as listed. He has a couple of options for set up locations. His property has the feeling of being remote. However, you are only a few minutes away from grocery and some other stores and restaurants. It is a short drive to the beach or inland water way/Indian River. Jay was available and easy to get in contact with. He helped us with many questions about the area and where to go. We were even able to catch two rocket launches just from the back yard. If you want a quieter Florida experience give Jay's place a visit. Next time we are in the area or passing through, this will be our stay of choice.

The best camping near Sanford with hot tubs guide

Where to go

Wekiwa Springs State Park

Take time to explore over 40 miles of nature trails in Wekiwa Springs State Park by hiking, biking, or even horseback riding among the oak trees and spotting wildlife along the banks of Rock Springs Run and the Wekiwa River. Look for everything from belted kingfishers and ospreys to river otters and aquatic turtles. Swimming, canoeing, and kayaking the emerald springs are other popular activities. To really get away from it all, consider setting up at a primitive campsite in one of the more remote areas.

Blue Spring State Park

Over 700 West Indian manatees flood Blue Spring State Park every winter thanks to ongoing protection efforts. Here, limestone aquifers bubble up to feed the St. Johns River and create a warm and comfortable environment for the grazing sea cows. Observe the creatures in their natural habitat from boardwalks and observation decks, then dive into the water for summer snorkeling, scuba diving, and inner tubing. Hipcampers can select from a full range of camping options including primitive tent campsites, cabins, and RV sites with full hookups, plus amenities like fire rings and picnic tables.

Lake Monroe Park

Campers don’t need to go far from Sanford to discover a little slice of nature’s sanctuary. Set on the shores of the lake for which it is named, Lake Monroe Park is both right in the heart of town and miles away from the everyday. With both tent and RV camping options, there’s easy access to miles of biking trails, including the scenic Sanford RiverWalk running along the lakeshore. The lake itself offers attractive largemouth bass fishing year-round, as well as the chance to catch black crappies, bluegill, and massive channel catfish. If the fish elude your lure, historic Sanford’s local restaurants are mere minutes away.

When to go

Florida summers can be very hot and humid, not to mention that it’s also hurricane season. The mosquitoes can be a nuisance, as well. The rest of the year may be a more comfortable choice for camping near Sanford. Spring weather is especially pleasant, adorning park areas with wildflower displays. For manatee viewing, high season runs from November to April, peaking between December and February. Check with local parks and campgrounds for seasonal closures or reduced hours, as water activities may be restricted during manatee season.
