Daytona Speedway RV Campground

The Great Outdoors

Camp in an RV near Daytona Beach and head to the Tiger Bay State Forest, a conserved tract of wetlands, lakes, and forests to the west of Daytona Beach. It’s named after an extensive wetland known as Tiger Bay, which is dotted with pine islands that provide a habitat for bald eagles and black bears. Stretch your legs along the Buncombe Hill hiking trail or go horseback riding on the Rima Ridge equestrian trail, with fishing and boating permitted on Indian Lake and Rattlesnake Pond.A 20-minute drive north of the Daytona Speedway RV Campground is the Tomoka State Park, a 2,000-acre protected area along the Tomoka River. It’s home to a diverse range of wildlife species, including gopher tortoises, West Indian manatees, and white-tailed deer, as well as alligators and around 160 species of birds. Spot bald eagles, peregrine falcons, and northern harriers on the hiking trails and visit the historic Timucuan village of Nocoroco, which has now been listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Canoeing and boating are both picturesque ways to explore the park, with fishing also permitted along the Tomoka River.Directly north of Tomoka State Park is Bulow Creek State Park, which encompasses around 5,600 acres of ancient oaks and submerged land just north of Ormond Beach. It’s one of the largest remaining stands of southern live oaks along Florida's east coast, with several trails for exploring its interior and spotting the resident white-tailed deer, barred owls, and raccoons. Follow the Bulow Woods Trail to access the Bulow Plantation Ruins Historic State Park, the remains of an early 19th-century plantation where sugar cane, cotton, rice, and indigo were grown. It’s now listed on the National Register of Historic Sites, with an interpretive center that details the plantation’s history and picnic facilities where you can relax over lunch.
