RV Dump Stations In Bunnell, Florida
29.4661° N, 81.2578° W
Quick Overview
Bunnell is the Flagler County seat, a small, flat town just inland from the Atlantic sitting where US-1 crosses SR-100 (Moody Boulevard). For RVers it is less a destination in itself and more a practical crossroads: about 4 to 5 miles west of I-95 Exit 284, a short hop from the beach at Flagler Beach, and surrounded by the state and county parks that make this stretch of Florida worth a stop. We have several dump-related listings mapped in the wider area, and the reliable places to service tanks are the campgrounds rather than a downtown city lot.
The easiest full-service base is Bulow RV Resort on Bulow Creek near Flagler Beach, with roughly 250 full-hookup sites, 30 and 50 amp service, pull-throughs for rigs up to about 75 feet, and a guest dump, all a 7-minute drive from I-95. For a public option with its own dump station, Faver-Dykes State Park lies to the north on quiet Pellicer Creek with 30 water-and-electric sites, hot showers, and a boat ramp. Rustic county camping is available at Princess Place Preserve, and day-trippers can wander the sugar-mill ruins at Bulow Plantation, though that park is day-use only with no overnighting.
Plan your visit around the season. November through April is the mild snowbird window, comfortable and dry but busy at the full-hookup resorts, so reserve ahead. Summers are hot, humid, and stormy, and they fall inside Atlantic hurricane season, which peaks August through October, so watch tropical forecasts if you roll through in the warm months. Services cluster near the interchange and up US-1 toward Palm Coast, where you will find fuel, a Walmart Supercenter, and supermarkets, plus a Suburban Propane refill point in Bunnell itself. Fuel, fill fresh water, and top off propane near Exit 284 before you settle in, then use the county seat as a low-key launchpad for the beach, the creeks, and the preserves that give Flagler County its character.

Bunnell sits at the meeting of US-1, which runs north to south through downtown as State Street, and SR-100 (Moody Boulevard), which overlaps US-1 for about a mile before splitting east toward Flagler Beach and west into the interior. SR-11 and SR-20 also feed into town. These are flat, open Florida highways with good sightlines and no notable low bridges or weight limits, so a big rig tows in easily. The quickest arrival is I-95 Exit 284, roughly 4 to 5 miles east, a single-point urban interchange that also links to the coast.
Most truck-friendly fuel, fast food, and big-box shopping cluster right around Exit 284 and up US-1 toward Palm Coast, so fuel and stock up there rather than expecting a service strip in the small county seat. Fill fresh water and top off propane before you head to the quieter state and county parks. For camping reservations with a dump station, book Faver-Dykes State Park through the Florida State Parks system, especially in the cooler snowbird months when it fills up.

Before You Go: RV Trip Essentials
Dump stations are only one piece of the trip puzzle. Before you set out for your trip to Bunnell, Florida, it's worth taking thirty minutes to check that the basics are in place — the four areas below are where unprepared RVers most often get stung.
Check your RV insurance coverage
A standard auto policy rarely covers a Class A, Class C, or travel trailer the way a dedicated RV insurance policy does. If you're financing a motorhome, lenders typically require comprehensive and collision; full-timers should additionally price in vacation liability and personal belongings coverage. Rates vary widely by state and travel pattern — compare quotes from multiple RV-focused carriers before each season.
Know your roadside assistance options
RV-specific roadside plans tow motorhomes and trailers that regular AAA coverage won't touch — flat beds, mobile mechanics, tire service for duallies, and even emergency lockouts at remote campgrounds. Good plans cover your spouse and trailer even if you're driving a separate vehicle, and some include trip interruption reimbursement if a breakdown costs you a reservation.
Decide about an extended warranty early
Original manufacturer warranties on new RVs typically run 12–24 months — shorter than most buyers realize. An extended service contract (essentially a mechanical breakdown policy) covers the appliances, slides, levelling systems, and drivetrain components that can run $3,000–$10,000 to replace. The time to price one is before the factory coverage expires, not after something breaks.
Set up a travel rewards card for fuel and fees
A no-annual-fee travel or gas rewards card pays for itself on a single month of RV travel. Expect to spend $400–$800 per week combined on fuel, campgrounds, and propane — 3–5% cash back on gas alone covers the next oil change. For bigger trips, a sign-up bonus can offset campground fees for the whole season.

Dump Station Costs in Bunnell
Bunnell is a moderate-cost stop by Florida coastal standards. Full-hookup resort sites at a place like Bulow RV Resort run higher than inland parks, especially through the November-to-April snowbird season when demand peaks and long-term guests lock up sites, so booking early is how you protect both availability and rate. If your budget is tighter, the public parks are the value play: Faver-Dykes State Park charges typical Florida state-park nightly fees for a water-and-electric site with a dump station, and Princess Place Preserve offers rustic county camping on free-to-visit land.
Save money by dumping where it is already included with your site rather than paying separately, and by fueling and buying groceries near the I-95 interchange or in Palm Coast, where prices and selection beat small-town stores. Shoulder seasons in spring and fall bring softer rates as the snowbird crowd thins, and if you are comfortable with heat and keeping an eye on tropical forecasts, summer is the cheapest window of all.

Best Time to Visit Bunnell by RV
Winter
Nov - Feb
48F - 68F
Crowds: High
Peak snowbird season. Mild days and cool nights make this the best time to be here, and the nearby full-hookup resorts fill with long-term winter guests, so reserve well ahead and expect the occasional cold-front dip.
Spring
Mar - May
58F - 80F
Crowds: Medium
Warm and drier with lower humidity than summer. Ninety-degree afternoons can arrive by March, but sites open up as snowbirds head north, making it a comfortable shoulder-season stop.
Summer
Jun - Aug
72F - 90F
Crowds: Low
Hot, humid, and stormy with near-daily afternoon thunderstorms, and this is the heart of hurricane season with August the wettest month. Rates soften but keep an eye on tropical forecasts and plan for heat.
Fall
Sep - Oct
62F - 82F
Crowds: Low
Still warm and storm-prone through September and October, the peak of hurricane risk, then drier and mild by November as the snowbird crowd begins trickling back in.
Explore the Bunnell Area
A few things we would tell a friend heading to Bunnell. First, treat the I-95 Exit 284 interchange and US-1 toward Palm Coast as your service strip: that is where the fuel, the Walmart Supercenter, and the supermarkets are, not downtown, which is a working government town. Second, time your trip for November through April if you can, to dodge both the summer heat and the busiest stretch of hurricane season.
Third, sort your dump plan before you arrive. The dependable public dump station is at Faver-Dykes State Park to the north and it is tied to camping there, while private parks like Bulow RV Resort serve their registered guests, so do not count on a random city lot. Fourth, if you are running a big coach or long fifth-wheel, Bulow takes rigs up to about 75 feet and sits close to the interstate, making it the low-stress full-hookup base. Finally, grab propane at the Suburban Propane point in Bunnell before any rustic nights at Princess Place, where on-site refills are not a given.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dump Stations in Bunnell
Where can I dump my RV tanks near Bunnell, FL?
Your two reliable options are private RV parks where you are a registered guest and the Faver-Dykes State Park campground to the north, which has a dump station on site. Bulow RV Resort near Flagler Beach offers a dump for its guests, and Palm Coast RV Park in the Bunnell area serves its registered campers as well. State-park dump access is generally tied to camping there, so confirm at the ranger station. Downtown Bunnell itself is a small county-seat town without a sanctioned public dump, so plan to route your tank service through one of these campgrounds rather than a city lot.
Is there a free RV dump station in Bunnell?
Not a true public free one inside the city. This is developed coastal Flagler County, and the practical dump options are tied to campgrounds: Faver-Dykes State Park to the north for campers, and private parks like Bulow RV Resort for their registered guests. A few travelers ask at fuel stations near the I-95 Exit 284 interchange, but those are hit or miss and not a dependable plan. Your cleanest bet is to book a night at a full-hookup park where dumping is included with your site, or time your route so you dump at Faver-Dykes while camping there. Empty tanks before you reach town if you can.
What highways lead into Bunnell for an RV?
Bunnell sits at the crossroads of US-1, which runs north to south through downtown as State Street, and SR-100, also called Moody Boulevard, which overlaps US-1 for about a mile before splitting east toward Flagler Beach and the coast. SR-11 and SR-20 also feed into town. The fastest arrival for most rigs is I-95 Exit 284, roughly 4 to 5 miles east, then west on SR-100 into Bunnell. These are flat, open Florida highways with good sightlines and no notable low bridges or weight limits, so towing a big rig in is low stress compared to hill country.
How far is Bunnell from I-95?
Downtown Bunnell is about 4 to 5 miles west of Interstate 95 at Exit 284, which is the SR-100 / Moody Boulevard interchange. That exit is a single-point urban interchange in Palm Coast that ties the Bunnell side of Flagler County to Flagler Beach on the Atlantic coast. Because the interchange is so close, most of the truck-friendly fuel stations, fast food, and big-box shopping cluster right around Exit 284 rather than in Bunnell proper. If you are coming down the interstate, plan to fuel and stock up at the exit, then run the short stretch of SR-100 west into the county seat or east toward the beach and the RV resorts.
Are there full-hookup RV parks near Bunnell?
Yes. The standout is Bulow RV Resort, also branded Encore Bulow, on the banks of Bulow Creek off Old Kings Road S near Flagler Beach. It runs nearly 400 sites with roughly 250 full hookups, 30 and 50 amp service, water and sewer, plus pull-throughs that take rigs up to about 75 feet, and it sits only a 7-minute drive from I-95. Palm Coast RV Park in the Bunnell area is a smaller full-hookup option, though it leans toward long-term and monthly guests, so call ahead. Between the two, Bulow is the easy choice for a big rig wanting a full-service base near the coast.
Can I camp at a state park near Bunnell?
Yes, and Faver-Dykes State Park is the go-to for RVers. It sits just off US-1 near the St. Augustine outskirts north of Bunnell, on quiet Pellicer Creek, with 30 campsites that each have water and electric, hot showers, a boat ramp, and a dump station on site. Bulow Plantation Ruins Historic State Park to the east is day-use only with no camping, so do not plan to overnight there. For a rustic county option, Princess Place Preserve offers primitive camping on 1,500 free-to-visit acres. Reserve Faver-Dykes through the Florida State Parks system, especially in the cooler snowbird months when it books up.
What is the best time of year to RV in Bunnell?
November through April is the sweet spot. Winters here are mild snowbird season, with cool nights and comfortable days that make the outdoor time genuinely pleasant, though that also means the full-hookup resorts fill with seasonal guests and you should reserve ahead. Spring stays warm and drier with lower humidity. Summer is hot, humid, and stormy with near-daily thunderstorms, and it overlaps Atlantic hurricane season, which peaks August through October. If you do come in the warm months, watch the tropical forecasts, plan for heat and afternoon rain, and take advantage of softer off-season rates while keeping an eye on the weather.
Do I need to worry about hurricanes near Bunnell?
It is worth planning around. Bunnell sits just inland from the Flagler County coast, and Atlantic hurricane season runs June through November, most active from August into October. Florida averages a hurricane landfall about once a year, and even storms that miss the area can bring heavy rain, wind, and coastal flooding. If you are traveling in those months, keep an eye on National Hurricane Center forecasts, know your evacuation routes along I-95 and US-1, and be ready to move inland or north with a day or two of lead time. In the drier, calmer window from late fall through spring, hurricane risk drops away and travel is easy.
Where can I get propane near Bunnell?
Suburban Propane operates a manned location right in Bunnell that handles bottle refills and delivery, so you can top off your RV cylinders without driving far. Beyond that, several hardware stores and fuel outlets along the US-1 corridor and up toward Palm Coast carry propane exchange or refill service. If you are staying at a full-hookup resort like Bulow, ask the office where the nearest refill is, since staff there deal with it constantly. Fill your bottles before a long stretch of boondock-style camping at Princess Place or Faver-Dykes, where on-site propane is not something you should count on finding.
Are there RV services and repair around Bunnell?
For everyday needs you are covered: Bunnell and neighboring Palm Coast have auto and truck shops, tire service, and parts stores, plus propane in town and plenty of fuel around I-95 Exit 284. For dedicated RV-specific work like slide-outs, appliances, or house-system repairs, the larger shops are easiest to reach down toward Daytona Beach or along the Palm Coast corridor a bit north. If you have a warranty or mobile-tech relationship, call ahead, because coastal Florida shops stay busy through snowbird season. For a quick fix or resupply, though, the Bunnell and Palm Coast area handles most of what a traveler needs without a long detour.
What is there to do around Bunnell for RVers?
More than you would guess for a small county seat. Bulow Plantation Ruins Historic State Park, about 8 miles east, preserves the shell of an early-1800s sugar mill with hiking and a boat ramp. Princess Place Preserve offers 1,500 free acres and trails at the meeting of Pellicer Creek and the Matanzas River. Flagler Beach, roughly 9 miles east on SR-100, is a low-key Atlantic town with a fishing pier and coquina sand. Farther up the coast, Washington Oaks Gardens State Park pairs formal gardens with a rocky shoreline. Add paddling at Faver-Dykes, and a few days here fills easily without ever fighting big crowds.
Can I park my RV overnight at stores near Bunnell?
Sometimes, but never count on it. Overnight RV parking at retail lots near the I-95 Exit 284 interchange is allowed only at an individual store manager's discretion, and local ordinances add limits. Flagler County restricts guest RVs parked at a residence to short temporary periods and prohibits using them for overnight lodging, and downtown Bunnell has no sanctioned street or lot overnighting. If you want to try a store lot, go inside and ask a manager rather than assuming. For anything beyond a quick rest, you are far better off booking a site at Bulow RV Resort or Faver-Dykes, where you get a legal spot, hookups, and a dump station.
Is Bunnell a good base for exploring Flagler County?
It works well as a practical hub. Bunnell is the Flagler County seat and sits right at the US-1 and SR-100 crossroads, only a few miles from I-95, so you can reach the beach at Flagler Beach, the ruins at Bulow Plantation, and the preserves at Princess Place and Faver-Dykes all within a short drive. Full-hookup camping at Bulow RV Resort near the coast gives you a comfortable base with a dump station and easy interstate access, while state and county parks handle the quieter, more rustic nights. Stock up near the interchange or in Palm Coast, and Bunnell becomes a low-key launchpad for the whole county.
Where can I dump my RV tanks near Bunnell, FL?
Your two reliable options are private RV parks where you are a registered guest and the Faver-Dykes State Park campground to the north, which has a dump station on site.
