Daytona Primitive Tent Camping Hot Spots!
Don't need a hot tub an' cable tv?
Have we got deals for you!
-Primitive Tent Camping-
$10 per person, per night:
Daytona 200 MC campground: Located halfway between Daytona and Deland, on rt92. Ten bucks per night, for three people. Thirty bucks w/or not you bring 3. Huge indoor clubhouse with kitch, big screeen tv, open 24 hrs. During a huge rainstorm, we were able to escape the tent to spend the night where it was dry and warm. Nice people, clean place. NO CAGES! 386-677-2061
$15 per person, per night (plus tax)
ABATE of Florida: Off rt 92, a little farther west then the above spot, located on the Volusia County Fairgrounds. 24 hour security. Clean, hot, portable shower setup. The name ABATE says it all. 386-943-9610.
Bulow World (CABBAGE PATCH) Campground: Samsula, about 20 minutes south west of the Speedway. This one belongs to the brother of the dude who owns the cabbage patch. He told us "daddy" left his brother the "gold mine", and he got the crappy lot. No problemo. He's turned it into his own little gold mine. Two sep lots, both sides of the road, surrounding the world famous Cabbage Patch, home of unlimited female cole slaw wrestling. If you want to be with party people, this is a great place to drive your tent stakes into the sand. Huge vendor scene, great food, decent beer prices..$2/draft last Biketoberfest. $15/nite/per biker. Shady lots, first come first serve.
Caveat: This place becomes extremely congested with traffic when the girls go to fightin'!
800-RV-BULOW
Moonshine Campground: Just north of Destination Daytona on US1, the lot used to be a swamp before someone filled it in, so keep that in mind. Traffic congestion (and cop congestion) is a given here. After a few days of it, you may wish to elect to take the opposite direction to get to Daytona as it gets P-A-C-K-E-D. Still, $15/nite/person is a pretty decent rate, yes? 386-677-1550
New Smyrna Bch Campground: Right across from the little New Smyrna Speedway. ABM likes camping south of Daytona, especially when we get that occasional chilly day or two. This area is closer to the water, nice folks, and the price is right. 386-527-6010
$25 per person, per night (plus tax)
Thunder Gulch Campground: Located just north of Bunnell, Fl, on US1, this place has it all...Think we caught Blackfoot there a couple back. Everything from brew to food to washing machines. Biker oriented, eclectic crowd, much like the cabbage patch. 800-714-8388. At double the money, it's your call..
New Smyrna KOA: Again, nice place, but 25 bucks for a patch o' dirt? Hell, this is 2011..still, if you feel the need for whatever it is that the KOA has which people pay up for, have at it. We haven't used a KOA since our old camping days in the Fl Keys, and they were $20/nite for two. Those days are gone forever. 386-767-0095
$80per night for 2, (plus tax)
Flea Market Campground: Wish we had better things to say about this place, but we don't. Guy told us $65 for a site with electric, which we needed, because it was freezing cold for a few days last spring..when we got there, all fried out to the max, the price went up $15/nite. The lot wasn't too bad, but the showers were in worse condition than those in a Gulag. No kidding dude.. there may not be a worse place to camp in all of Daytona, unless you're in one of those huge rolling RV's, and you don't need anything more than electric and a place to park where you won't get stuck. Even though it's minutes from the speedway, and has a "stocked" fish pond, two thumbs down. Lose the phone number.
Looking for a hotel? Wait until the LAST MINUTE, and use the internet. Don't forget to secure your trailer. Daytona has an unattended trailer law, even if you leave it in the shopping mall lot for 30 minutes, you're gonna pay a hefty fine + an impound fee! Check out the airport, or speedway, where we think you can leave it for around $50 a week, with e-z cum and go.
Is it that time again? 70th Daytona Spring Bike Week? HELL YEAH!
