Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Sharpes, FL

It is so nice, right on the Indian river. There is a large fenced Dog Park on the riverfront. Near Titusville, FL. You can see Kennedy Space Center across the water.

THIS quaint little park is so delightful. With so many gorgeous water birds and trees. The park sits off the Indian River and is the perfect place to catch a launch. The are also very dog friendly and have a dog park. The dock is also the perfect place to catch some redfish or snook. Had a wonderful time in this tucked away little spot.

Great location to walk down to the pier and watch the rockets launch from the space center. Nice swimming pool, store and laundry 3 on site. Ice big camp sites with lots of shade. Dog park and showers. Fish from the pier and small boat launch from park.

We stayed here simply to visit KSC and you cannot beat the location, it's just across the bridge. We stayed in the tent area, and while there was no privacy between spots, it was right on the water. The views were half nice - one half the lagoon and one half dog park. There was a great little dock out on the water but the ground was very wet and mushy. Toilets were fine but no fire rings provided.

I chose to camp here based on the previous reviews. Here’s my take. Pros: Close to Kennedy Space Center, pool, fishing pier, large off-leash dog park, full hook-up, canoe/kayak launch. Cons: Sites are small and close to one another, most people have a lot of “stuff” at their site, some groups can be quite loud into the evening hours, no campfire ring, trains come by during the night. No hiking available within the park. Sites experience a lot of washout when it rains. Several sites are close enough to a major road to hear the traffic quite easily.

stayed here for 2 days . The place is big and about 50% seasonal campers , spots are very tight and no dog park . They have some nice spots but they put me in the back like a sardine LOL the guy next door had to move his truck for me to get in and I only could park my truck in front of my door since there was no space any where else. It was close to the Interstate so if you are looking for a place to stop for the night unless you want to hone your back up skills and never go outside I would suggest keep moving on

This is a great spot. Plenty of trees. Most sites have some space to spread out. Many pull-through spots. The wi-fi repeaters are good for remote workers. This is a paid option and worth it. The bathrooms are cleaned often but some guests don’t clean up after themselves- leaving hair and trash behind- rude! The staff is wonderful as and the permanents are welcoming. Laundry is pay by phone. There is a dog park. Only downside is lack of concrete pads- roads and parking spots are sandy. Minor issues with heavy rains. Quick drive to the beach. Must haves: outdoor mat, above ground camp fire ring, longer hoses.

No dogs allowed and they like many Florida parks should have some way for Fl residence to actually be able to camp in Florida but no they don’t 

If you’re looking for a spot to park your 5th wheel or mobile RV campsite for the night and don’t mind being shoulder to shoulder with likeminded RV campers, then the flatly paved surfaces of Kissimmee RV Park, complete with 193 campsites, might just be for you. While just off the I-4 corridor taking you into Orlando (only 30 or so minutes due north of this location), pet-friendly Kissimmee RV Park offers close proximity to and affordable overnight accommodations near all of the amusement parks (just 6.5 miles away) the Magical City has to offer. 

As far as amenities go, there’s a handful: recreation hall, full-service kitchen, heated pool, shuffle board court, bingo, horseshoe pits, scattered BBQ grills, spartan restrooms and bath house (although in need of refurbishment), laundry-O-mat, ice machine, free WiFi (but only at rec hall and pool – many people complained that they couldn’t access WiFi while at their sites, but if you read the fine print, that’s not what this place promises), RV storage, dog parks & walking paths, a few scattered gazebos and a propane tank refilling station. Each site comes with its own flat concrete slab that you can call home for the night, accompanied by a lone picnic table and all the typical hook-ups you would expect (30 / 50 electric amp, water, sewage, etc.) along with designated dump sites and an electric charging station as well as small pond. 

Insider’s tips? Sure, here’s a few: (1) if you are tent camping, apparently Kissimmee RV Park has some sites, but as we were passing through with an RV, I didn’t bother to look, so check this out; (2) Tired of foraging through your cooler or on-board mini-fridge for your next meal? Then there’s no shortage of options being this close to Disney, so while there’s the chain restaurants nearby (Chili’s, Perkin’s, BJ’s, etc.), I recommend a few off-the-beaten places like Fat Boy’s BBQ, Savion’s Place or Capone’s Dinner & Show Theater;(3) Fan of comic books? My family and I stumbled across Coliseum of Comics Kissimmee and it was a nice diversion for a few hours; and (4) Want to go back in time for a nice meal and theater?! Then look no further than Medieval Times, which is literally just down the road!

Arrived here for a three-night tent stay at spot 153. The campground is easily accessible from the highway, and a breeze to check in. Friendly staff. Dumpsters behind the main office. All roads are one-way counterclockwise. The bathroom and laundry room are about 100 meters from spot 153. Both are clean. There's a nice pavilion overlooking the water inside the eastern loop. There's a good size, fenced-in, leash-free dog park next to the water. The water views are beautiful at sunrise. There's a pier for fishing and just serene eastern observation toward Cape Canaveral. There's a kayak launch ramp as well.

Spot 153 was perfectly partially shaded, with a mix of sand and grass, and it was level. The only critters seen here are playful squirrels. RV spots can be quite close to each other, but not many of their inhabitants were seen outside during these chilly, mid-December days when the temperature dipped to 40F at night, and high 50's in the day. All spots have electric and picnic table. The water spigot at 153 was about two inches from the ground. Why?

The only downside of the campground is its proximity to railroad tracks and airport. The noise seemed to be constant on weekdays.

Was fortunate to find a spot a Wekiva Falls for the weekend, last minute. Needed a place to stay to go to the Winter Park Art Fest. The people at check in were extremely friendly and had great customer service. They actually have someone guide you to your camp site and help you back in. They then review all the rules of the resort, show you how to hook up to electric/water/sewer. More than helpful. They were up front and honest about the crowds to be expected for the weekend and the noise/partying. He was right about that. Our site was across the street from the lagoon and on Saturday there was a DJ blasting music all days. I don’t think everyone in the campground should have to be subject to the music. It stopped at 5pm. Friday night the campground was noisy, but it quieted down by 10:30pm. Lots of kids, golf carts and people having fun. Not much in the way of shade trees. There are some palm trees scattered throughout. Most sites are back in. Sites are level and there is a concrete pad with a picnic table. Not all sites have fire rings. There is a dog park, cafe, food trucks on Sat. Great place for families. There was a strong sulfur smell around our site. Not sure where that was coming from

We stayed 2 weeks at this campground. We watched two rockets launch from the space center right from the pier at the campground. Nice , clean pet friendly and gated campground. Great fishing with so much to do and see like the space center just a few miles away. We will be going back and Manatees are everywhere. Beautiful creatures. Orlando is close by . I so miss this campground.

We recently bought a travel trailer and decided to camp somewhere close to home for our first experience. Moss park was the perfect place to get acquainted with our new toy. Not too busy, all the amenities we needed, site was fairly leveled, plenty of room, friendly staff, and close encounters with wildlife…specifically deers walking right up to us. Bathroom showers were a bit dirty, but the rest of the bathrooms were clean. Will definitely return. No pets allowed.

The park was full. We got one of the last two spots left, which were the only two that were full sun so it was very hot! We checked in around midnight and they had security at the gate that just kept an eye on things. Our whole purpose of camping is to fish so although they had a nice pier to fish off of, you could see straight through the 1’-2’ deep water with no drop off in sight. All you can catch really are horseshoe crab and rays. This was very disappointing for us. To make it up, there is a pool on site which was great for the kids. The bath houses were clean and always had soap and toilet paper and parking also so you don’t have to walk. Unfortunately there was a bad apple there that decided to vandalize one of the game tables while we were there but management posted updates on the main doors of the office about what activities were available or unavailable. It was a good place to watch the shuttle launches. If you go to the right of the pier there are benches under the palms so you can sit and watch. Go to spaceflight.com for launch info. We did notice they have a dog park with waste bag stations but nobody was in there. Primitive tent camping is closer to the water but not waterfront while RV camping is behind the tents. You are only allowed one shade structure per RV, no tents on RV sites. The sites are really squished together so I felt like I was walking in the backyard of the RV next to us every time I went outside. We used the 30 amp electric and water hookups without problems. They do have picnic tables at each site. Fires are allowed but have to be off the ground, no fire rings. Our site backed up to the drainage ditch which was full of shrubs and no water whatsoever. Overall it was a good trip. The kids rated it 4 stars each (I’m sure because of the pool) but we do not plan on returning any time soon as we want to explore more fishing options. However we will return if we just want to get away and the kids can swim their little hearts out!
