Manatee Cove Patrick AFB FamCamp
Nice campground if you want to travel around the Cocoa Beach area. Located directly along the historic Banana River, the campground currently has 156 full-service sites with 30/50 amp capability, ten primitive camping sites, two laundry and shower facilities, a 24-hour community center and a private beach. Placement is on a first-come, first-served basis with the exception of active duty personnel. Potential guests are highly encouraged to call ahead and inquire about availability during the months of November thru February when the campground traditionally maintains close to full capacity. Lots of amenities on Patrick AFB such as a pool, bowling alley, PX, etc. We enjoyed Satellite Beach which is a couple of miles south of the base. Right along the eastern coast too!! Be prepared for aircraft activity such as C-130's and helicopters coming in and out, as the FamCamp is near the end of one of the runways. Kids really liked this part.
