ScoutI was riding with my bicycle to this campground without an reservation. No problem. It was very friendly personal and very clean.
TravelerI’ve stayed at this campground many times never had a bad experience. Staff is wonderful if you ever need anything all you do is ask. They’re right on top of it. Clean sites level sites. Even the tent camping is level and clean.
ScoutPros: Location, price, wildlife, fishing, nice sites with tons of water access. Boat Ramp and trailer parking. Some sites have shore anchoring.
Cons: No-see-ums are almost unbearable in the evening. But that come with the territory in Florida. Pack long-sleeves, pants, and serious bug spray
TravelerThis is a nice campground that's located right on the intercoastal waterway right across from Kennedy Space Center. We saw two rocket launches while here. Make sure you visit Port Canaveral and eat at the many excellent restaurants.
TravelerThis is the first time we have gone camping in our new travel trailer. Therefore, I don’t have the experience to compare to. For what it’s worth…The sites are clean and have a picnic table and fire ring. Although I believe there is a burn ban at the moment. The outer sites at the waters edge have only electric and water hookups. There are some sites that have sewer hookups as well but are not directly on water. Some sites have a larger opening through the brush than others. I appreciate that you can view a photo of site when booking on their website. There is a dump station in the campground if needed. Staff that checked me in was friendly. Dog friendly. Very nice experience.
TravelerStayed one night on our roadtrip to the Everglades. Good campground with paved loops and gravel sites. Sites are close together with little privacy. But we could see the water from our site. Bugs, especially the “no see ums” were pretty bad - so bring bug spray. Clean bathrooms and showers. Nice access to the inlet as well as the beach. Dredging project underway, but didn’t impact our stay. Lots of fisherman.
TravelerThis is an absolutely beautiful and relaxing spot. We are at site 26, on a weekday in April, and there are very few other campers around. This site offers a beautiful sunrise view over the lake, and is surrounded with gorgeous moss covered oak trees all around the campsites. The hosts have been exceptionly helpful and friendly, and this is definitely a place I would recommend!
TravelerIf only the resort was still maintained as website displays. Was assigned a small lot for our van. Risers for power, water, and cable were functional, but not weatherproof designed. I’d fear an electrical hazard when it rains. By my account, 4/7 washers and 4/8 dryers were tagged out of order. Suspect they been that way for some time due to faded and weathered signage. Restroom and shower area were large with multiple stalls, but in need of cleaning. Garbage dumpsters were overflowing with bags and trash. Dirt roads meandered throughout park with turns and overhanging trees, so may be challenging for long or high rigs. AT&T cell reception was poor. Free WIFI was weak and hard to connect/stay connected. But they offer upgraded service for $4/day. Park was quite quiet overnight given the numerous units. One lone owl hooting under the moonlight was nice. Did not use pool or visit poolside bar.
Scout26 acres, small campground; most sites are relatively close to each other; lots of trees and shade; beautiful water views from several campsites, specially sites 51, 13, 65-69, 169, 170), pool and lots of parks within 30 minutes of Manatee Hammock. Downside is freight train noise every night in the early morning hours and traffic noise, specially with campsites near the busy US-1. Also, no fires unless you bring your own fire pit and must be at least 6" off the ground.
