Tomoka State Park

Tips for Snagging a Campsite Reservation

1. Reservations can be made at the Florida State Parks website or by phone.
2. Booking in advance is recommended (especially in summer) and can be done up to 11 months in advance.
3. If you can't secure your preferred dates, keep checking. Spots open up as others' plans change.

When to Go

Tomoka State Park is open and good for tent camping year-round. If you plan to visit during the summer months or during holidays, it’s a good idea to make your reservations early because they tend to fill up quickly, especially in summer and around the holidays. Late fall and winter is the best time for birdwatching, as you can see migratory birds that have headed south to escape the cold northern winters. 

Know Before You Go

• Tomoka State Park is set just 10 miles north of Daytona Beach and about an hour's drive south of St. Augustine and its historic sites.
• Tomoka campsites access to restrooms and bath houses with hot showers but cannot accommodate RV camping rigs larger than 34 feet in length and 11 feet in height.
• Be cautious where you step, especially in warm weather. Rattlesnakes are prevalent and well-camouflaged in grass.
• Visit the Tomoka Outpost camp store for snacks and camping supplies, as well as kayak and canoe rentals. Other facilities include a boat ramp, group pavilions, and picnic areas.
• All pets must be on a 6-foot leash and be attended to at all times. Pets are not allowed on the beach, wetlands, boardwalks, playground, or in any buildings.
