Lathrom's Landing RV Park & Fish Camp

I stayed here for about four months, and I’ll be honest… at first, I wasn’t impressed. It’s pretty simple. Basically a road leading down to the Intracoastal with a long dock (around 250 ft), and not much else in terms of flashy amenities. But here’s where it flips. The people at this campground? Absolutely top-tier. This place somehow attracts the kind of folks who actually show up for each other. Holidays, birthdays, random cookouts… if there was an excuse to gather, they took it. And when I went through one of the most terrifying moments of my life—my two-year-old getting out of the camper while I was still asleep—it was those same people who stepped in. He’s okay because of them. That’s not something you forget. (And yes, we now run a full Fort Knox setup: triple locks and door alarms. Lesson learned the hard way.) Now, not everything was sunshine and campfires. I had a pretty big issue with the owner. Communication wasn’t great, and the management style felt more like constant micromanaging without really understanding individual situations. The rules also seemed… selective, depending on who you were. That part wore me down fast. Eventually, my husband pulled the plug because of the stress it was putting on me, and we moved to another campground. But here’s the weird part… I miss this place. I miss the people. I miss the fishing. I definitely miss the shrimping—that alone almost makes you forget everything else. This place has a rough edge, sure, but it’s got heart. Final verdict? If you can handle a little grit, say yes sir when needed, and don’t mind a few bumps along the way, you’ll probably do just fine here. If not… you might want to keep rolling down the road. Either way, this campground left a mark—and not the kind you just wash off. I also wanted to add now that I've tried fishing and shrimping all over volusia county ... This place had me spoiled! Can walk down and catch something every single time no matter time of day/night... Miss this so much!

We stayed in the trout cabin. It was very clean and nice! The cabin had everything that we could need. The owners definitely take pride in everything being neat and clean. The view from the room was awesome. We Had coffee outside overlooking the water every morning. The docks were great and had everything that we needed for our boat. Extension cords and hoses were provided. We used the fish cleaning station for our shrimp that we caught and it was very convenient. We enjoyed meeting the owners and they even helped us extend our stay by a few days when we just weren't quite ready to head home yet. We really enjoyed staying here. The fishing was great and all of the people around the park that we met were welcoming and ready to give us fishing tips/advice. We had a great time shrimping, catching many different species of fish, exploring the islands, and even caught a rocket launch from the water while we were shrimping! We definitely plan to be back!

My sister and I wanted to be close to home but have an amazing experience. This park was recently purchased by some amazing people, Christine and Bull. We had never met them before this trip, but it was an instant friendship! The entire camp/RV park was clean and so incredibly friendly. We were able to fish and catch some amazing Black Drum and several trout. Fishing from the 260 ft pier was incredible!

Weekend vacation spot. The picture we saw online were great, but to see in person was beautiful! We enjoyed ourselves just relaxing and fishing. The scenery looking across the lake was amazing. We saw dolphins swimming and jumping out of the water. To the beautiful couple we appreciate your hospitality and we look forward to visiting again real soon.

This was one of THE best RV parks we’ve ever stayed at on our travels with my husband’s job. The owners, Bull and Christine, are awesome, as well as the host, Chevy. It wasn’t just the ambiance of the place - being right on the water, the piers we walked day and night, all the sea life we saw every day, watching 2 rocket launches from the park. It is also the amazing people we met there. Thank you for such a great experience!
