HI, We are booked at Tomoka for 3 nights the end of this month. This will be our first time staying there. I'd like any info you may have.
We will be in site 35.

Thanks

How close is the water to site 35? Hard to tell from the map

Thanks

Does anyone know if the water is accessible from site 17? According to the map it is right on the water.

We drove in there in the toad a few years ago when we were camped at another commercial place nearby and decided that the low hanging limbs were not going to work for us. Maybe they have trimmed them, but be careful

We've stayed at Tomoka. Nice park, very wooded, not really BIG rig friendly (34' limit). Handy to attractions of Ormond Beach and Daytona Beach. Here is our report on our stay, with pix and comments.

Enjoy your stay.

Very nice park. X2 on the canoe/kayak rental. Here is your site - looks like a nice one:

We were just there in January. It was raining off and on and rather chilly. The dirt roads throughout the park had large ruts full of water and were rather narrow and as a result we had a bit of a hard time getting our 30 ft TT into our spot because of a rather large tree right alongside the road. Once we got set up, we had a very good time, be sure to head down to the little store along the river bank. They have food and live entertainment and other supplies if you need them. Very popular place for kayaking, we even did a dat trip to St Augustine, very nice drive along the ocean. Definitely would return.

Whoops Tomoka not Torreya:

Tomoka is another nice park. Just about all Florida parks are excellent. It is on the Tomoka River which is really a tidal salt water inlet.

The main attraction for us is the fact that the park is close to the beaches. You can fish off the pier near the park store and put a boat into the water there too. There is a short trail.

The campground is set right into the trees and I'd say that a large RV would have to maneuver carefully around the CG loop road. But we've seen medium sized Class A's camping there.

I can't get the FSP map to load right now but there is another small park just to the north that has the remains of a n old sugar mill. It's worth a visit if you like that sort of thing.

The big attraction Tomoka has for us is that for some reason it is usually easier to get a spot there than any other east coast park in that area. Maybe because it isn't on the beach.
