“Native Americans once dwelled here”
Native Americans once dwelled here, living off fish-filled lagoons. Today, these waters are popular for canoeing, boating, and fishing. The park protects a variety of wildlife habitats and endangered species, such as the West Indian manatee. Tomoka is a bird-watcher's paradise, with over 160 species sighted, especially during the spring and fall migrations. Visitors can stroll a one-half mile nature trail through a hardwood hammock that was once an indigo field for an 18th century British landowner. A boat ramp gives boaters and canoeists access to the river. The Park Store offers snacks, camping supplies, and canoe rentals. Contact 386-673-0022 for more information. For overnight stays, the park has full-facility campsites and youth camping. Located three miles north of Ormond Beach on North Beach Street.

Stayed two nights at Tomoka State Park and enjoyed our visit. We booked last minute and were pleasantly surprised by the location. It does not sit on the ocean but rivers leading to the ocean. It was a great spot of a day or two. We had site 87 and it was surrounded by heavy foliage. The other campsites were kind of close but we really could not see anyone because of how think it was. The sites are all sand and not the most level spots. It was about a mile walk to the store and riverfront area. There is not much to see, I did a little fishing but did not have any luck. A nice place to visit and would recommend it for a short visit (not much else to do, unless you have a boat and like to fish then this place is a dream).

Reservations made via reserve America and their fee is not reflected in the daily price. Check in was smooth with the reservation.
Park roads and sites are packed sand - roads are very bumpy but most sites are pretty good but sand gets everywhere !
Location is near water - rivers and creeks for kayaking and a short drive to the beach.
Bathrooms and showers were good with laundry available for $2 wash and dry.
Larger rigs may have trouble finding a site and/or navigating to it.

Coming from Canada it felt like the jungle. The growth around the campground is dense and makes for great breaks between sites. We squeezed our 25 footer onto this 20 foot space. Most sites are bigger than they suggest. Bathrooms were nice and showers held up to morning use. The native American statue they have in the brochure is falling apart. The beach is a bit of drive away but very nice - we went to Flagler so that our dog could run on the beach.

Pros:
It has a boat ramp, great camp store right on the river and is close proximity to the Daytona beach area.
It’s extremely well kept and clean. The staff was very friendly.
The sites are pretty private thanks to a good section of thick trees/bushes between each site.
Cons:
The sites and roads in are not very big rig friendly. We’re in a 31’ TT and had a tough time getting in and out. If you’re not in a tent or under 30 feet I’d maybe keep looking. The sights were narrow and short.
The sites are all on soft, lose, sugar sand. So it’s pretty dusty and a little difficult on your jack pads/levelers.
The road is pretty close to one row of sites to it can be loud with traffic.

What a cool drive in... the canopy... pure Florida. Check it out on Google StreetView if you need convincing. The park itself is spread out nicely. Lots to do and see. For those looking for a beach, its an easy drive into Ormond Beach, but I stress it is a drive. On a map it might look like you're super close to the beach... but you are very much on the river at this park. Its not a swimming river. This is a place to hike a trail, or take a kayak out on the water and look for turtles, and matinee, or even gators. The woods are alive with wildlife from possum to lizards to frogs. You can see a great deal of stars at night even being so close to the city. Lots of ranger led activities for the kids. Snow bird's paradise here. If your looking to camp on the beach keep looking... if being close to the beach is acceptable look here.

Really nice spots that were private thanks to the great Floridian Flora. Immaculate bathrooms. Loved the Tomoka Outpost - great spot for a sunset beer or to rent kayaks. Say "Hi!" To Captain Corn!

We just got back from spending 2 nights at Tomoka and really enjoyed the stay. One way to classify Florida state park campgrounds is snowbird RV approved or a local family campground. Tomoka is much more the later. It does seem to be a fisherman’s and/or kayakers paradise. We visited the camp store and found it well stocked with the basics, including beer.
While close the sites are private side to side due to the dense brush a real plus. Sites are sandy and seemed to drain well when it rained. Road is sand, twisty (don’t cut the oak tree go around), and bumpy with some deeper holes. Some low hanging branches. These conditions combined with the road being narrow and sites not always angled well for backing up indicates big rigs will have problems. Most rigs seemed to be well under 30 feet. We felt very at home at 18 feet.
Water and electric were good. Dump station was very accessible although sandy. Restrooms were well kept and clean. They did their best to control the sand.
As others have mentioned the drive outside the gate south to Ormond Beach is a beautiful tree tunnel through the park, 4-5 miles at 35 mph. Dinner at Hull's, very good.

We were doing a fast four night Fllorida getaway. We drove through Saint Augustine and connected onTo A1A headed south. It is a beautiful drive along the Atlantic ocean until we reach Tamoka State Park. The drive from Flagler Beach to Tamoka is very beautiful and I highly recommend as a way of coming into the state park. We were told if your having a bad day in Ormond Beach everyone tells you to do the loop next to Tomaka State Park. I highly recommend doing the loop just to get you relaxed before your camping adventure. The park rangers are very friendly and very accommodating. Campsites are well-maintained. Most campsites are full shade. I did not feel like I was living in my neighbors backyard. We received a good dose of nature. There’s a short walk to the statue of the Indian chief Tomuka. There are longer nature trails but we did not take them. Beautiful camping along the East Coast of Florida. We were here in the winter so therefore did not experience any bug issues. The showers are very clean and plenty of hot water.
