Camp Shiloh

1 site · RV, Tent1 acre · Oak Hill, FL

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 river, 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:(Not a commercial campground.)

At the top of the hill overlooking the heart-shaped spring, one will find the rustic Great Lodge where guests can come and mingle with each other, enjoy a relaxing conversation and a drink on the veranda or just sit and watch the activity in and around the spring.

Recently (2020), a 17.2-pound bass was caught there. The combined Ocklawaha and St. Johns drainage basin is possibly the most significant river-estuary waterway of Florida. This water system is of legendary reputation among anglers of largemouth bass who seek 10 pound plus trophy fish.

This scenic property has an artesian spring which pushes out 1.6 million gallons of water per day rated among the top three percent of water in the world with an 8.4 natural pH. This water fills the pond and then continues on to flow into Orange Creek. Camp Seminole Springs was established in the 1940’s as a honeymoon resort and campground. The founders built a heart-shaped ‘pond-spring’ which is filled with the crystal-clear water pushed out from the spring where guests can lounge by the beach or gaze down into the bottom through the glass-like water or take a refreshing swim. At the top of the hill overlooking the heart-shaped spring, one will find the rustic Great Lodge where guests can come and mingle with each other, enjoy a relaxing conversation and a drink on the veranda or just sit and watch the activity in and around the spring.

Camp Shiloh

1 site · RV, Tent1 acre · Oak Hill, FL

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 river, 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!

River, stream, or creek camping near Ormond Beach with fishing guide

Overview

Somewhere between Jacksonville, Gainesville, and Orlando, Ormond Beach sets itself apart—thanks in no small part to its coastal flair and small town appeal. Just north of Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach predominantly resides on mainland Florida, though a fraction of the city sits on a barrier island across the Halifax River. The city parallels the Atlantic Ocean, and Ormond Beach campgrounds pepper the shoreline. Campers can stop by the Ormond Memorial Art Museum & Gardens before continuing to an equally stunning campsite. You’ll also find various parks and forests within driving distance, so you’re never far from adventure.

Where to go

Tiger Bay State Forest

You won’t see any tigers at Tiger Bay State Forest—but you will see white-tailed deer, sparrows, and the occasional bald eagle. Beyond its wildlife, this forest comes with all of the fixings. Think: equestrian access, lakes and ponds ripe for fishing, and, of course, plenty of hiking trails. The final perk of the forest? Campsites, available for both you and your horse.

Tomoka State Park

Just a few minutes from Ormond Beach, Tomoka State Park invites boaters and birdwatchers alike. More than 160 species of birds call this park home, and, for the duration of your camping trip, so can you. Tomoka State Park campgrounds come with access to nature trails, picnic areas, and restrooms, making this sprawling park a one-stop shop for all of your camping whims.

Bulow Creek State Park

After visiting Tomoka State Park, you may be tempted to stay put. However, if you head just slightly north, you’ll quickly reach Bulow Creek State Park, which warrants its own visit. The park actually harbors one of the South’s largest remaining live oak trees. Dubbed the “Fairchild Oak,” the tree has seen the area through the last 400 years. Take a seat at the park’s picnic area and soak up the oak.

When to go

Brush shoulders with Ormond Beach during the shoulder months. Fall and spring are ideal for a Florida camping getaway, as summer brings bugs to the area’s forests and parks. Likewise, August is the rainiest month, so come when the weather—and the mosquitoes—won’t work against you. As if you needed another incentive, the shoulder months also see bird migrations, so you’re likely to spot some of Florida’s most interesting species.
