One of the best little places to get your youngins out into nature for the first time... It's small but has everything that a campground should have. Nice pier to fish off of, little nature trail, and a boat launch. And to top it all off it was cheap! A little small for my taste but over all a very nice place .
Traveler
I enjoyed my stay at his park. I booked last minute and was still able to get accommodations😎, the park rangers were so friendly and also moved me to a more shaded area when requested! I will def be back again! 😊🤗!
Traveler
Wonderful staff and well maintained Park, sites and facilities. Great fishing and kayaking in the lagoon with a view of Cape Canaveral.

This place was a good place for a beginner camper like me. It’s close to a Walmart, to get things I forgot. It has a few trail heads and lots of boat docks. I enjoyed fishing and wild cranes.
Scout
Have been camping there many times quiet and peaceful
GuideNice park and amenities. Maintained well enough. Spaces are closer together but the amount of trees and foliage make it seem more private. Don’t ask for an early check in. Even if your spot is empty. The staff was extremely rude and unfriendly. I understand policy is policy but being rude doesn’t help enforce the policy.
Scoutits nice to relax .. if you are a camper ... for first time it dont have nothing plan its not good...

Located on the river across from Kennedy Space Center, it's a great spot to view launches with 20 or so spots along the river.
Water/electric sites only, but there are two dump stations available. Boat launch just outside the campground as well. Bath houses were clean and there is a small camp store.
Spots are all first come, first serve. Only available to KSC/NASA employees and military though (and requires an annual membership of $15-20). The campground does update open sites on their facebook page daily (https://www.facebook.com/KARSPark).
ScoutWell ran. Quiet place.
Guide
Close enough to walk to the ocean, stores close enough to drive to. Sites closer than I would like. I wish this county park would put a 2 week limit on your stay. Seem like lots of people stay several months, which it can Seen cluttered in some sites, plus hard to find available because some people stay so long.
TravelerThis small campground was very full in middle of Florida winter season. While most sites appeared flat, there is not privacy between them and no shade in hot Florida sunshine. We were lucky with a quiet location in Site #3, and only 1 neighbor next to us. The only sites with open water views were in very tight and crowded section that was crowded with lots of big rigs. Park personnel were very gracious, helpful and accommodating. It was not convenient from I-95 for just a 1-night stopover, but we had a good night's sleep to refresh us for another day of driving! Fishermen and kayakers must love this location for easy access! Price was fairly steep compared to other local and state parks. We did enjoy the nearby beaches!
We stayed here on February 22, 2004.

TravelerThe best family makes for the best camping. NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
TravelerHas been wonderful clean and quiet. We have a truck tent.

Don't come here, because it'll make it harder for the rest of us!
This is a wonderful, but maybe too small campground. The views are gorgeous especially in the morning and evening light. The customers seem very nice, and well mannered. The staff is just exceptional.
You can spend an afternoon on the deck with a beverage. There will likely be some folks fishing, and there's a good chance you'll see Dolphin, and maybe Manatee. If there is a launch from Kennedy Space Center you can see that too, although you're about 20 miles away, still really impressive.
This is just one of those wonderful places where you can come to relax and unwind. Unassuming, at the end of a dead end road. Just a little piece of paradise.
And of course it is a campground, so the sites are a little narrow, the wifi's not good, blah, blah, blah. So you know, don't come here. :)

This campground has a split personality. The west side has nice wide concrete sites, the east side is on dirt and gravel and not so nice. When I made my reservation I missed the pick your site($30 add on?), but given the difference between the two sides, it would have been worth it. This is definitely a KOA Journey, hookups work, good for a night or two, but not a destination. I didn't think it is quite as close to the Space Center as described.
Some long term residents, many on the east side, and the roads aren't very wide. The gentleman who escorted us to our site took us off the road and out into the grass to get around a tree to make the turn workable. Most of the staff was friendly and helpful.
Oh, if you look at this campground on Google's satellite view, be aware that there is a different campground that wraps the KOA on the west, and south. If you see tennis courts, you're looking at the wrong campground.
Given the history of this area I had high expectations. If you get one of the nice new sites, then I think it's worthwhile, otherwise this is one of the few KOAs that I don't think I will recommend for more than a night maybe two.

For what it is, this place is perfect. I stayed nearly three weeks here in December before heading back to the cold north, and I couldn’t have asked for much more. Staying out on the inlet, although primitive, does offer a bit more privacy compared to inside the campground. It also gives front row seats to the ships coming to port as well as any launches from cape Canaveral which are much more frequent now. The staff was very friendly and I would absolutely stay here again.

Lake Mills has 14 sites to choose from, some being bigger than others. All sites were clean and very well cared for. The whole park was nice. Kids enjoyed the playground and fishing from the dock. We will definitely be back! Great for first timers, quick get away, or even an extended stay. Other reviews mentioned the park being too loud at night due to the local bar and traffic. We were on site number 1, which is right by the entrance and road. No complaints whatsoever. Bathrooms are currently being remodeled, but there was a temp trailer bathroom that was kept cleaned by a local company.
TravelerSites are a bit close together but the vibes were good and everyone was really nice. Family friendly camping for sure. The bugs are awful so bring bug spray or a bug light if you can. Me and my dog had fun walking around the site and exploring the island next to it. They just renovated one of the bathroom houses too which made everything a bit easier and a bit more clean.
Traveler
This is camp for hunters it's free and has pit toilets open area park anywhere in the camp. Lots of land to explore, hiking very close to Florida scenic trail.

It has full hookup and we came with our RV. We met a lot of very cool people. The beach is 1min by foot away. Would definitely recommend.

When they say “in the sun”, they mean it! This is a 55+ RV “Resort”! Not much shade anywhere. But, if you stay in you 50 ft. Class A I suppose shade isn’t needed. The park has 2 pools one is a lap pool with lanes. and there are 2 hot tubs. There are pickleball courts, shuffleboard, and bocce ball. There is a Propane fill station. There is a community center with planned activities and special events. The sites are all concrete, in the sun! That may be OK in winter. On the plus side, it’s only 30 minutes from the Kennedy Space Center.
LegendThis is another KOA on our extended road trip around Florida. This one is a little older, and shows wear, but they are doing some construction, rebuilding some of the sites. The internet was hit or miss, mostly miss! The bathroom/showroom is dated, but adequate. It reminded me of a high school shower room. There is a small office/store with basics. Also a pool and laundry (most of the washers were out of order) Some of the roads are rough, and a few sites don’t look like they are useable. We were here in late October, between the summer family crowds and the winter Snowbirds. They do have long term rates for Snowbirds. It’s about 20 minutes from a manatee rehabilitation park, and also a manatee overlook pier. It is 30 minutes from Cape Kennedy and the NASA Space Center.

If you’re looking for one of those gemstone RV locations that are so far out of sight that you’d drive by the place at least a few places before you actually saw the roadsign that would steer you to this very place, then look no further than Lathrom’s Landing RV Park & Marina. If you’ve got watercraft and are looking for a place to either park here for the night, or better, get her wet by actually going for a spin in the local waters, then this RV pebble-strewn parking lot might just be for you.
And while the spots are narrow and tight, you will be beaming about the absolute amazingly quick access to water you have here. Placed in front of Florida’s famed Mosquito Lagoon in Oak Hill, this place have 30 / 50 amp electric hookups (along with sewer and water) as well as a clubhouse complete with full kitchen (oven, stovetop, refrigerator, cooking utensils, wet sink, coffee maker), kayaking and wave runner rentals, pristine shower and restroom facilities, library, microwave, outdoor covered patio, rooftop sundowner happy hour oasis, gas grilles, ping pong table and laundry-O-mat. The place even offers up fishing and shrimping gear off their own 260 foot long pier.
While onsite private dock and boat ramps as well as fishing pier come standard, Lathrom’s also offers up private 1 BR, 2BR & 3BR cabins, each with their own private BA and LR as well as a free-standing home. What I enjoyed most about this place was the absolute warm welcome from the owners as well as the very strong camaraderie from both locals and those passerby’s that I came into contact with.
Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) This place, while a bit crowded and tight, offers immediate ocean access to some of the best fishing Florida has. Period; (2) Add to this the simply outstanding friendly vibe you’ll feel here, I’m sure anyone will enjoy their stay; (3) If you’re looking for star-gazing, I dare you to find a better place that has the option to check out the constellations as well as trek the satellites and rockets that routinely blast off from this Space Coast haven.
