Camping in Daytona Beach, FL
Lodging in Daytona Beach is plentiful and quite varied. But while many travelers opt for renting an oceanfront condo or securing a room in a hotel just steps from the beach, avid campers often choose to arrive in their RV. And unlike some beach destinations, Daytona Beach has more than enough facilities to accommodate those who wish to do some camping while they’re in town, either in their vehicle or in tents or cabins.
Because of the NASCAR presence in Daytona, the town is accustomed to accommodating a bunch of people who prefer camping to hotels. As a matter of fact, some fans wouldn’t think about arriving at the races any other way and the track provides space on its own property for visitors with trailers and motor homes. There are also campgrounds in other parts of town, as well as in the towns that surround Daytona Beach. In addition, some of the state parks provide camping facilities for visitors as well. Listed below are some of the options for campers heading to Daytona Beach.

Sites are sold as packages which include the campsite itself, infield admission for two, a car pass for those arriving separately from the RV, and free admission to the infield for kids under 12.
