Camping and RV Parks near Flagler Beach
The pier is the only landmark that interrupts six miles of orange sand, and the campgrounds sit just north of it, on the strip of A1A that still feels like old Florida.
Where the Rigs Park
Flagler Beach was incorporated on April 16, 1925, named for Henry Flagler, the railroad man who turned the coast into a resort. But this town did not follow his script. It stayed low. It stayed small. The census counts 5,250 people, with a median age of 58.8 years, and more than a thousand vacant housing units. That vacancy is not decay—it is the rhythm of a place that empties out when the season turns.
For those who do not want a house, even a seasonal one, the campgrounds along North Ocean Shore Boulevard are the practical alternative. They line the same road as the beach, which means you park, step out, and the coquina-colored sand is a short walk away.
The Big One on the Beach
Beverly Beach Camptown RV Resort sits at 2815 N Ocean Shore Blvd, and it is the largest operation of the bunch, with 1,116 reviews and a 4.4 rating. That volume of feedback tells you something: people come back, or at least they bother to record their stay. It is the closest thing this stretch has to a destination campground, but it never feels like a resort in the high-rise sense. The buildings are low. The beach is the point.
Just down the road, Treasure by the Sea at 2982 N Ocean Shore Blvd holds a 4.3 rating from 264 reviews. Smaller, quieter, less known. If Beverly Beach is the busy neighbor, Treasure is the one who keeps the porch light on but does not need to advertise it.
Inland Options
Not everyone wants to wake up to salt spray. Two parks sit on Old Kings Road, which runs parallel to the coast, a short drive from the water but out of the wind.
Bulow RV Resort at 3345 Old Kings Rd is the smaller of the pair, with 131 reviews and a 4.0 rating. It is straightforward, functional, and close enough to the beach that the distance is meaningless.
The other address on Old Kings Road is listed as Encore Bulow, at 3345 Old Kings Rd South. It carries a 3.7 rating from 347 reviews. The rating is lower, but the review count is higher, which suggests a place that gets used often, not just loved loudly. Encore is a brand name in the RV industry, so you know what you are getting: consistent, managed, predictable.
There is also Owner Barnhill Beverly Beach Llc on the books in Flagler Beach. It has no rating and no review count. It is a legal entity, not a destination. We mention it only so you know the full list—and so you do not confuse it with the actual Beverly Beach Camptown, which is a different thing entirely.
What the Numbers Say
The census data explains why this town works for campers. Of 3,538 housing units, 795 are held for seasonal or recreational use. That is nearly a quarter of the housing stock sitting empty for most of the year. The median home value is $496,800, and the median gross rent is $1,581 a month. For many visitors, a campsite at $40 to $60 a night is a bargain compared to a week in a rental.
The unemployment rate is 2.9 percent, which is low, and 35.5 percent of residents hold a bachelor's degree or higher. The median household income is $81,193. These are not struggling numbers. This is a town that has decided, deliberately, not to build upward. The campgrounds are part of that decision—they keep the coast accessible to people who do not want a second mortgage.
The Town Itself
You should not camp here and skip the town. The Flagler Beach Historical Museum is worth an hour. The pier is the only interruption in six miles of sand, and it is a working pier, not a tourist set piece. The sand is orange because of crushed coquina shell, a color you will not find anywhere else on the Florida coast. It sounds like a gimmick until you see it, and then it just looks right.
The town resisted what its neighbors did. It did not build condos on the dune line. It did not put up a boardwalk with chain stores. It stayed a beach town, and the campgrounds are part of that stubbornness. You park your rig, you walk across A1A, and you are on a beach that looks the way it did when the town was incorporated a century ago.
Bring your own chair. Bring your own food. The campgrounds have hookups, not restaurants. That is the trade, and it is a fair one.
