But some of Florida’s most famous beaches and wildlife havens are also awaiting RVers. Ormond Beach, at the region’s northern tip, was once a playground for America’s early millionaires, including John D. Rockefeller. Known as the “Birthplace of Speed,” the city played host to Florida’s first auto races, which took place on its hard-packed sand. Today, in addition to the Birthplace of Speed Museum, Ormond Beach offers quiet beachside vacations and tours of The Casements, Rockefeller’s former winter home.
