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 lagoon, 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:
Park your van/small RV or pitch your tent on our rural homestead conveniently located 1000 ft off of US Hwy 1. Nearest I-95 exit is 3 miles away. Watch rocket launches, visit nearby beaches, attend NASCAR races, see local communities, relax at Canaveral National Seashore, birdwatch at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, fish Mosquito Lagoon, or visit the amusement parks of Orlando, we are a safe and quiet location from which to stage your adventures. We have two campsites. Site 1 is a nice level, grassy campsite for tent or RV, complete with a fire ring, picnic table, and firewood. Site 2 is the Glamping Greenhouse! We aren't fancy, but are clean, secure, and private. You can come and go as you please, and day-trip all over beautiful central Florida!

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.

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.

The space is private and fully immersed in nature. It's so peaceful. When I arrived, the host Kimberly brought in a fire pit, snacks, tiki torches, water, and several other thoughtful things in case I needed anything. Once she showed me where to camp and left all the things I could enjoy for the weekend, she honored my privacy and didn't come back again- but made herself available to text if I needed anything.
There were even chairs and tables outside to relax with. Unfortunately it was too warm for a campfire, but I do hope to be back to enjoy the spot again.

Our hosts at Shiloh were wonderful, making sure we were warm and safe during an unusual cold snap and helping us find good things to see and do during our long weekend in Oak Hill. We will unreservedly stay there again if we’re in the neighborhood. You can’t ask for friendlier folks at the end of a travel day.

This was a great camping spot within reasonable driving distance of Playa Linda beach, Merritt Island wildlife refuge, Titusville and the Kennedy Space Center. Power is available, but no water or flush toilets, as the listing clearly explains. It is a very reasonably priced, level, well laid out site in a great location and the owners were always available, but never obtrusive - even had a fire made up and ready to light in the fire pit when we arrived.

Really pretty quiet place. The little section they give you is very grassy and nice. It’s at the end of the road and very private. You are out in front of their houses but you don’t notice that much.
