Camping near Pine Lakes, Florida
Pine Lakes sits in Volusia County in Central Florida, within easy reach of the St. Johns River corridor and a cluster of spring-fed state parks. Blue Spring State Park lies just south of DeLand along the western edge of the county. The area draws RV travelers year round for river fishing, manatee viewing, and access to Central Florida attractions without staying inside the theme-park zone.
Campground options range from state-park sites to private river resorts and rustic fish camps. Blue Spring State Park has 51 campsites in sand pine scrub, with water, electricity, tables, and grills at each site, plus six two-bedroom cabins near the spring. Along the St. Johns, Highbanks Marina and Camp Resort is a 25 acre wooded RV campground along 2,300 feet of the river in Volusia County, with a swimming pool, clubhouse, two laundries, and a country store with live bait and tackle.
For anglers, Highland Park Fish Camp and St Johns Marina Resort put visitors directly on the water, while Country Squire RV Resort offers a quieter inland base.
Things to do near Pine Lakes
The St. Johns River defines most trips here. The 72-degree waters of Blue Spring draw visitors year round, and from mid-November through March hundreds of manatees congregate in the spring run to escape colder river water. A two-hour narrated Nature and Ecological Cruise on the St. Johns River runs from the park concession, and paddling is popular on both the spring run and the main river.
Anglers target speckled perch, bream, and largemouth bass throughout the region. Highbanks Marina and Camp Resort operates a 72-slip marina with pontoon and boat rentals, and St Johns Marina Resort provides river access for guests bringing their own craft. Highland Park Fish Camp offers direct water access on nearby fishing waters.
On land, boardwalks over the spring run, a hiking trail through pine flatwoods, and the historic downtown of nearby DeLand round out the options.

Winter is the busiest stretch for wildlife viewing. Manatee season runs from November 15 to March 31, when manatees rely on the spring's constant 72°F water for survival, and during this period swimming and all other water activities in the spring run are prohibited to protect the manatees. Cold mornings after winter fronts produce the highest counts.
Spring and summer flip the script. Swimming in the spring run is open annually from April 1 to November 14. As in the rest of Central Florida, expect mild winters and hot, humid, rainy summers. Afternoon thunderstorms are routine June through September, and Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30.
Campgrounds themselves stay open year round, but demand shifts sharply. Snowbird demand at private resorts along the river peaks January through March, and Blue Spring campsites fill quickly for winter weekends. Summer weekends see the park reach capacity and close temporarily to new arrivals.

This is our second time renting from Jana and Jerry! They are great hosts. The RV was perfect and had everything we needed. We will definitely rent again! Thanks for a great experience!
Laureen S. - Aug 2026
My significant other talked about camping a lot so I figured this would be the perfect birthday gift.. Though he was a Boy Scout lol this was an experience we both got to enjoy together as first time campers. Everything was exceptional. Jerry and Jana was phenomenal with communication and hospitality. Thank you, we most definitely will be returning campers 🤗

How to book campgrounds
State-park sites at Blue Spring use the Florida State Parks reservation system. Florida residents may make campsite or cabin reservations up to 11 months in advance of their arrival date, and non-Florida residents up to 10 months in advance. Same-day reservations are accepted before 1 p.m. Eastern time; unreserved sites are then available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Day-use access at Blue Spring now works differently from camping. A day-use reservation program takes effect July 15, 2026, and all day-use visitors are required to have a reservation to enter the park. Overnight camping reservations serve as park entry, so campers do not need a separate day-use booking.
Private parks, including Highbanks Marina and Camp Resort, St Johns Marina Resort, Highland Park Fish Camp, and Country Squire RV Resort, book directly through the property. Riverfront and full-hookup sites go first for winter stays.
What to expect on arrival
Sites range from wooded and sandy to riverfront depending on the campground. Blue Spring's campsites sit in a sand pine scrub and palmetto forest, with limited shade but good vegetative screening between sites. Private resorts along the river tend to sit under mature oaks draped with Spanish moss.
Hookups vary by property. Blue Spring provides water and electricity at each campsite, with no sewer at individual sites and a central dump station in the campground. Full hookups with 30 and 50 amp service are common at private parks along the St. Johns, and most have laundries, camp stores, and boat access.
Cell service can be spotty at the more remote fish camps, and wildlife is close: alligators, wading birds, and manatees are regular sights. Bring bug spray for summer, and pack layers for winter mornings that can dip near freezing.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Pine Lakes, FL
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Pine Lakes, FL?
An RV rental in Pine Lakes, FL is one of the most affordable ways to explore Lake County and the Wekiva River basin. On RVezy, travel trailers typically run $75 to $150 per night, Class C motorhomes average $175 to $275, and larger Class A rigs range $250 to $400. Because Pine Lakes sits within driving distance of the Orlando metro area, you will often find more inventory and better prices than booking near the theme parks. For a cheap RV rental in Pine Lakes, try booking midweek in September or early December to avoid snowbird-season surcharges, and filter for travel trailers if you already have a tow vehicle. Many hosts also offer weekly discounts of 10 to 20% for stays of 7 or more nights.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Pine%20Lakes%2C%20FloridaWhat do I need to rent an RV in Pine Lakes, Florida?
Renting an RV in Pine Lakes is simple. A regular driver's license is all you need, with no special Florida RV endorsement or Commercial Driver's License (CDL) required for any RV under 26,000 pounds. You will need to be 25 or older to be an approved driver on RVezy, and identity verification happens right inside the platform during checkout, usually in just a few minutes. Visiting from outside the U.S.? Bring your home-country license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your local auto association. That is the whole list. Most first-time renters are surprised how quickly they go from browsing to confirmed and ready to roll out toward Seminole State Forest.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs RV rental in Pine Lakes covered by insurance and roadside assistance?
Yes, and this is one of the best parts of booking through RVezy. Every RV rental in Pine Lakes, FL automatically includes a renter protection plan that covers damage to the vehicle, plus 24/7 roadside assistance. You choose your protection level during checkout, not the host, so you can pick the coverage that fits your comfort level and budget. If you get a flat on State Road 44 heading to DeLand or a battery dies at Alexander Springs, one phone call gets help dispatched. The protection plans deliver real financial peace of mind so you can focus on the trip, not the what-ifs.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionWhat if I need to cancel my Pine Lakes RV trip?
Plans change, and RVezy makes it low-risk to book with confidence. RVezy, not individual hosts, sets the cancellation policy for every reservation, and it includes a full money-back grace period right after booking so you can lock in your Pine Lakes dates without second-guessing. Refund amounts after the grace period depend on how far out you cancel. If a host cancels your booking, RVezy will help you find another RV or provide a refund or travel credit. Review the current cancellation policy on the RVezy Help Center before you book, then reserve knowing your Pine Lakes RV trip is flexible by design.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Pine Lakes RV trip?
Absolutely. Pet-friendly RV rentals in Pine Lakes are easy to find on RVezy by toggling the Pet-Friendly filter, and many hosts welcome dogs. Lake County is a fantastic place to travel with pets. Seminole State Forest just south of Pine Lakes has miles of dog-friendly trails on leash, and nearby lakeside parks offer open green space for a stroll. For a longer outing, drive about 17 miles to Mount Dora, where leashed pups are welcome on the downtown waterfront. Message the host before booking to confirm pet details and ask about any cleaning preferences. Florida heat is no joke for paws, so plan walks for early morning or after sunset.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Pine%20Lakes%2C%20Florida&PetFriendly=trueCan the RV be delivered to my campground or rental house in Pine Lakes?
Yes, and RV delivery in Pine Lakes is a game-changer if it is your first time renting an RV. Many RVezy hosts will drive the rig to your campsite, vacation home, or a private property in Lake County, level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system before they leave. Delivery is especially popular for sites near the Wekiva River or rural lakefront areas where towing a trailer down sandy county roads is not ideal. Use the Delivery filter when searching, then check each host's delivery radius and per-mile fee. Many will deliver within 30 to 50 miles of Pine Lakes, including to DeLand, Mount Dora, and Eustis.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Pine%20Lakes%2C%20Florida&Delivery=trueHow does mileage work, and how far can I drive from Pine Lakes?
Most hosts include a daily mileage allowance, commonly 100 to 150 free miles per day, and some offer an RV rental with unlimited mileage as an add-on or for stationary stays. From Pine Lakes you do not need to go far for great destinations: DeLand is about 15 miles east, Mount Dora is roughly 17 miles south, Daytona Beach is around 40 miles east, Orlando is about 45 miles south, and Kennedy Space Center is roughly 75 miles southeast. A Pine Lakes RV trip up to St. Augustine clocks in around 80 miles. If you are planning a longer haul, message the host and ask about a flat-rate mileage upgrade. It is usually cheaper than per-mile overage fees.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Pine%20Lakes%2C%20FloridaWhere are the best campgrounds near Pine Lakes, FL?
You are spoiled for choice. The best campgrounds near Pine Lakes include Alexander Springs Recreation Area in Ocala National Forest (a crystal-clear 72°F swimming spring with RV-friendly sites), Clearwater Lake Campground (also in Ocala National Forest, quiet and shaded with electric hookups), Hontoon Island State Park on the St. Johns River (accessed by ferry, no RV sites on the island itself but nearby parks have RV camping), Blue Spring State Park near Orange City (famous for winter manatee viewing, with full hookups available), and private RV resorts in the Lake Mack and Paisley area with lakefront sites. For RV camping near Pine Lakes that feels remote without a long drive, Alexander Springs is a local favorite.
recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/234038When is the best time of year for an RV trip from Pine Lakes?
Central Florida's sweet spot runs from late October through April, when daytime temperatures sit comfortably in the 65 to 78°F range and humidity drops sharply. This is also manatee season at Blue Spring State Park (mid-November through March), making it one of the best windows for a Pine Lakes RV trip. Summer months (June through September) bring 90°F heat, afternoon thunderstorms, and hurricane season, though early mornings at the springs are still magical. January nights can dip into the 40s, so a heated RV is a nice touch. The two weeks after Thanksgiving are usually quiet, cool, and offer some of the best campground availability of snowbird season. Book early for January through March, which fills up fast.
weather.gov/mlb/I've never rented an RV before, will I be okay?
You will do great, and Pine Lakes is a friendly first-timer launchpad. Every RVezy host gives you a full walkthrough at pickup covering propane, water, electrical, slide-outs, and dumping tanks, and you will leave with their phone number for on-the-road questions. Lake County roads around Pine Lakes are flat, lightly trafficked, and forgiving compared to mountain or coastal driving. If you are nervous about handling a big rig, start with a Class C motorhome (drives like an oversized van) or pick a host who offers delivery and setup. RVezy's support team and 24/7 roadside assistance through the protection plan are also a call away. By night one at Alexander Springs you will feel like a pro.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if something breaks down on the road?
You are covered around the clock. Every RV rental in Pine Lakes, FL booked through RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan. If you get a flat near Cassia, a battery dies at Lake Mack, or an awning will not retract at a campsite in Ocala National Forest, one call dispatches help. For mechanical or appliance issues like AC, fridge, or generator, your host is also a direct resource because they know their rig inside out. RVezy's customer support team is reachable before, during, and after your trip. Snap a quick photo of the RV's VIN and license plate at pickup so any roadside call goes faster.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Pine Lakes RV rental to other states, like Georgia or to the Florida Keys?
Yes, and an RV road trip from Pine Lakes opens up the entire Southeast. Most RVezy hosts allow interstate travel within the United States, so popular routes include the Florida Keys (about 280 miles south to Key Largo, 360 to Key West), Savannah, Georgia (around 270 miles north), the Great Smoky Mountains (roughly 650 miles), and the Gulf Coast beaches near Clearwater (about 130 miles west). Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because insurance coverage does not extend there. Cross-border trips to Canada may be possible depending on the host and protection package, so message the host before booking. Always confirm your route with the host so they can set the right mileage allowance.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel mileage and gas budget should I expect?
RVs are not fuel-sippers, but central Florida's flat terrain helps. Expect about 8 to 10 miles per gallon (MPG) for Class A motorhomes, 10 to 14 MPG for Class C, 18 to 22 MPG for Class B campervans, and your tow vehicle's normal mileage minus 25 to 35% if you are pulling a travel trailer. Florida gas prices typically run near the national average. Check current prices on the U.S. Energy Information Administration site before you plan your budget. For a 4-day trip from Pine Lakes covering 200 miles, expect to budget roughly $80 to $130 in fuel for a Class C. Travel centers along I-4 near DeLand are RV-friendly and often have competitive diesel pricing.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Pine Lakes?
For peak season (November through April), reserve 4 to 6 months ahead, especially for Blue Spring State Park and Alexander Springs Recreation Area. Florida State Parks open reservations on a rolling 11-month window through ReserveAmerica, and the best waterfront sites are often gone within minutes of the window opening. Ocala National Forest campgrounds book through Recreation.gov on a 6-month rolling basis. Private RV parks near Pine Lakes are usually easier to grab on shorter notice. If you are flexible, check for cancellations 2 weeks out, especially Sunday afternoons when weekend campers cancel midweek extensions. That is how locals score Blue Spring in February.
floridastateparks.org/learn/reservationsWhat are driving conditions like around Pine Lakes?
Driving an RV around Pine Lakes is genuinely easy. State Road 44 is the main artery, paved and well-maintained with light rural traffic. Some neighborhood roads in the community are unpaved, so larger Class A rigs are better off staying on SR-44 and using delivery for the last mile. Watch for afternoon thunderstorms June through September (pull over and wait them out, they pass quickly), and be alert for deer and the occasional black bear near Seminole State Forest at dawn and dusk. Heading toward Orlando on I-4 brings heavy traffic, especially weekday rush hours, so leave early or after 7 PM. Otherwise it is flat, straight, and stress-free Florida driving.
fl511.com/What amenities do campgrounds near Pine Lakes typically offer?
Most campgrounds within an hour of Pine Lakes offer water, electric, and sewer hookups (often called full hookups), plus dump stations, potable water fills, and bathhouses. Florida State Parks like Blue Spring have 30/50-amp electric, water at each site, central dump stations, hot showers, and laundry. Ocala National Forest sites at Alexander Springs include electric hookups but no sewer at each site, with a central dump and water fill near the entrance. Private parks in the Lake Mack and Paisley area typically add Wi-Fi, pools, and laundry. Always confirm specific site amenities when you reserve, since hookup type varies by loop.
fs.usda.gov/recarea/ocala/recarea/?recid=83592What features and amenities do RV rentals in Pine Lakes typically include?
Expect more than you would think. A typical motorhome rental in Pine Lakes comes with a queen or king bed, a kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave, sink), a wet or dry bathroom with shower and toilet, roof and dash air conditioning, a furnace, fresh/gray/black water tanks, and dinette seating that often converts to extra sleeping space. Many hosts include outdoor chairs, a hose, leveling blocks, a starter pack of toilet paper and dish soap, and bedding. Campervan rentals in Pine Lakes are smaller but include the essentials. Wi-Fi and TVs vary, generators are common in Class A and C rigs, and seatbelts are required for every traveling passenger. Check each listing for the exact features.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Pine%20Lakes%2C%20FloridaWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
RVezy hosts in Pine Lakes offer extras that make trips smoother. Popular add-ons include linen and kitchen packages ($30 to $75), bike racks, generators, camp chairs and tables, portable grills, paddleboards, and pet packs. Delivery fees typically range from $2 to $5 per mile beyond the host's free radius, and many include setup. Pickup is usually at the host's home in or near Pine Lakes, Eustis, or DeLand, with a 30 to 60 minute orientation walkthrough. Most hosts include 100 to 150 free miles per day, with extra miles available at $0.30 to $0.50 each. Bundling delivery, setup, and a linen package saves time on day one and is worth it for a family RV trip in Pine Lakes.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Pine%20Lakes%2C%20FloridaHow do payment and the security deposit work?
Payment runs entirely through the RVezy platform, so there is no cash handoff and no payment outside the site (which would void protection). You pay the rental total, taxes, fees, and chosen protection package at booking using a credit or debit card. A refundable security deposit is held on your card before the trip starts, typically $500 to $1,500 depending on the RV's value, and it is released after a successful return and damage check. To avoid any holds: do a thorough joint walkaround at pickup and dropoff, take date-stamped photos of the exterior, interior, tanks, and odometer, and return with the same fuel and propane levels noted at pickup.
