Sugar Mill Ruins Travel Park Campground

Bring your rental motorhome at Sugar Mill Ruins Travel Park and expect heaps of thrills on Florida’s Fun Coast. New Smyrna Beach offers the best redfish fishing on this side of the Atlantic while expert and amateur surfers find ideal wave breaks here. For something more exotic, set off on a diving cruise, a sunset dolphin tour, or backwater kayaking trip on the Indian River Lagoon. And even if you don’t set foot anywhere else, the town’s 17 miles of sandy coastline will always have a secluded spot for a contemplative walk on the beach. Search for an RV in Volusia County and enjoy the chance to experience nature the way it used to be – or something close – on miles of Canaveral National Seashore’s undeveloped shoreline. The Mosquito Lagoon offers a fantastic setting for a guided canoe tour; wooded trails invite exploration, and the sandy beaches teem with activity under cover of darkness when loggerhead sea turtles clamber up from the sea and nest on the shore. To truly escape from it all, head to Playalinda Beach, often ranked high in the list of the country’s quietest beaches. Or you can gaze skyward and witness a live rocket launch from the nearby Kennedy Space Center. Camp in an RV near New Smyrna Beach and you’ll be less than 90 minutes’ drive from the largest contiguous sand pine scrub forest in the world. A little more than an hour's drive north of Orlando, the Ocala National Forest evokes an ancient feel, as the sand ridge dunes that you see here were once a chain of islands submerged in water. But the real draw of Ocala is its hundreds of lakes, rivers, and waterways. Try "Juniper Run," a narrow seven-mile canoe trail that winds under a dense canopy of old-growth forest. If you'd rather venture underwater, put on your scuba gear and take the plunge at Alexander Springs. The forest also brims with hiking trails, whether you're up for a half-mile stroll on a boardwalk or game enough for a 100-miler. The Black Bear Scenic Byway slices through the forest for close to 100 miles, so bring your rental RV and embrace the open road.
