There is also a boat ramp, small fishing dock and a fish cleaning station. Adjacent to the camping area and connected by a bridge, Scout Island offers more than a mile of nature trails, and primitive youth group camping at a reasonable group rate.

Sebastian Inlet State Park near Melbourne, FL. We stayed for stopovers on way down and back from Miami area. Most campsites do not have water views but are just a short stroll away. Most sites have limited privacy but some have more vegetation buffer. The campgrounds were quiet, clean and pleasant. With a Northern and Southern section, this park offers several access points to the ocean beach, the inlet itself and the River. We were delighted to stroll the long beaches and watch the surfers, watch fishermen in the river in the morning and evening, and watch the many pelicans feeding from the bridge structure over the river. The swimming area behind the jetty on the north side creates an almost man-made tide pool which is perfect for swimming and for younger children to play in the shallows without waves or currents. We hope we can get reservations again!
ScoutExcellent grounds easy-to-use helpful personal the convenience of the amitities were excellent

We called Vero Beach Camp the morning of our stay and they welcomed our reservation for 1 night. Beautiful shaded campground, nice swimming pool, clean and quiet. We will definitely come back. The rocket launch was scrubbed so we will try again!

We've had the pleasure of staying at both site 185 and 11, and our experience was delightful with both choices! The front office staff consistently exudes helpfulness and politeness. Each site is equipped with water hookups, electric connections, and sewage facilities. What's impressive is that these amenities are available on every site, setting them apart as the most competitively priced campground in the vicinity—my thorough research of other options confirms this. Notably, JOY RV offers the flexibility of both short-term and long-term stays, a versatility that distinguishes them from neighboring campgrounds. On top of that, they provide onsite storage options, complimentary wifi, a refreshing pool, impeccably maintained showers and restrooms, and a convenient laundry facility. For those requiring a peaceful environment to focus on tasks like schoolwork or professional assignments, the spacious and tranquil clubhouse proves to be a valuable asset—I, personally, take full advantage of this convenience. The campground enjoys a strategic location with a nearby Sam's Club for shopping convenience. Plus, its direct access to the interstate simplifies travel to Melbourne(approximately 30 minutes away), Daytona Beach(roughly an hour's drive), and even Orlando(merely 45 minutes away). It's undeniable that this location is prime. In our quest for the perfect camping spot, stumbling upon JOY RV was a stroke of luck. Without reservation, we wholeheartedly endorse it to fellow travelers seeking a phenomenal experience.

We are staying here for 1 month. We are having a good time. The pool is very nice. We go every day. They have airboat rides at this location. Most sites are pull through and have pavers.
GuideJoy is a nice campground , clean, quiet, saw 2 nasa launches from our site. No frills, but a decent place. Staff was very nice. Was on site 189.
Would recommend!!
TravelerGood Sam franchise - ok if you like everyone knowing your business. I would stay here again. Kinda high priced w no cancellation policy
TravelerNice and quiet but the no see ums are so bad we had to spend most of our time indoors. This is a great place if you like to fish.

Love this campground! The bar and restaurant has a great view of the waterfront. Be careful fishing at night. A freshwater mullet jumped in the boat not before hitting me in the face. That was scary as well as painful. Caught some beautiful bass and brim! The fried okra in the restaurant is my favorite!
ScoutEasy in and out. Nice ppl.
TravelerFishing, birds galore! Rabbits, squirrels. By the water. Only downside are th we no seeums they get ya everywhere! Clean showers, bathrooms. Lots to see.
ScoutWind in your hair and lovely water views everywhere. Clean restrooms and nice neighbors. Saw dolphins, a manatee and sea turtle and dozens of different types of birds. No see ums are no joke. Be prepared for bug bites! Fire ring was very close to road on this site.
GuideGorgeous views! Great camp Sites with fire ring and gravel. Only complain is there isn’t much around so come prepared!

Kind of a weird location, but clean and nice with all the necessary hookups. Retirement oriented, but nice to everyone
TravelerLow key, quiet place, helpful staff. Awesome shade (pretty critical in Florida this time of the year). Really can’t say anything bad about our experience here—stayed for a week—no complaints at all. We will definitely visit again when we are in the area!
TravelerBoggy Creek RV Resort and Fish Camp Review
Boggy Creek RV Resort and Fish Camp Is located in Kissimmee, Florida on the edge of East Lake Tohopekaliga. We stayed there for a month from the middle of June to the middle of July in 2021.
As new RV'ers, this was our first attempt at reserving and staying somewhere in our new Apex 293 RLDS Travel Trailer. The staff was very accommodating when my wife first contacted them by phone and offered a "pull-through" site for an extra $100, but being the cheapskate that I am I opted to stick with a "back-in" site (I've got to learn to do it at some point, right?).
When we arrived we checked in at the office/gift shop/small grocery store and both the ladies there at the desk were very courteous and helpful. They had one of their staff, a fine gentleman named Rego, escort us to the site and he spent 45 minutes helping me to back in. I should mention that the site was nestled between two trees, some kind of metal post sticking up about 5 feet from the ground, and the vehicle of our next door neighbors, so in addition to my inexperience we had to maneuver around all those obstacles. I got it backed in without touching ANY of them! As he left us, Rego urged me to call anytime we needed anything.
There are more than 200 sites in the park, but a lot of them are year-round residents. That still leaves roughly half of the sites for guests and the park looked to be about three-fourths filled to my untrained eye. They come with 50amp shore power, water, and sewer connections, as well as concrete pads and picnic tables.
I was born in, and grew up in, Florida so my first impression of Boggy Creek RV Resort and Fish Camp is that it is very much like "Old Florida" with towering Oak trees covered in hanging Spanish Moss, Scrub Pines, and even Palm trees. This is not a manicured RV park, though the grounds are well kept by the staff, where the sites are laid out like cookie-cutters in a parking lot. The abundance of trees provide a very nice amount of shade around the park and, even in the Summer heat and swelter of Florida, made the temperature bearable with our little 13,500 BTU rooftop air conditioner. East Lake Tohopekaliga is also large enough that it provides a nice, cooling breeze during the day.
The park advertises a pool and restaurant, but both were shut down during COVID-19 restrictions and have not yet re-opened. They hope to have the pool up and running as soon as they can break through the supply-chain issues that have plagued the industry. We did not ask about the restaurant, but I imagine the same issues apply.
There is an abundance of wildlife including Sand Hill Cranes (which serenaded us every morning and barked their unhappiness when we walked near them during our daily treks around the park), Peacocks (which was an unexpected sight, but very enjoyable), Herons, Tortoises, and Alligators. So if you're looking for a sterile environment, this might not be the place for you. If you're a boater or fisherman, there is a dock for fishing off of and a boat ramp for putting your watercraft into the lake.
Our month long stay was enjoyable because of the staff, the flora and fauna, and the slow, laid back atmosphere. We would highly recommend Boggy Creek RV Resort and Fish Camp for those who are seeking the same.
RangerOur favorite place to stay when visiting family in Vero. The full time residents are very friendly as are the staff. The pool is clean and they have all types of camping available.
RangerOne of our go to spots to stay when we visit family in the area. Beautiful setting and the staff and neighbors are very friendly. The pool is clean and nice and they offer all kinds of camping options.

GuideMelbourne FL 👍👍👍👍
PROS · Sites are shell · Good water views · Shore Fishing · Boat Launch · Fishing Museum · Birds · Pavement biking in camping area · Playground
CONS · No-See-Ums · Swimming & Surfing beaches across Big Bridge. Bike lane goes to Bridge, but then you have to ride on the road
TravelerMany people stay here during the season. The sites are gravel and we'll maintained. Clean showers and toilets. Quiet place.
Guide
If you’re a fisherman, this place will be a good place to relax and talk to your neighbors. The location is great for people who are looking to be close to the airport and theme parks. It’s an RV park, but it’s one of the nicer ones I’ve seen.
Guide
This place has some great wildlife and is pretty nice in comparison to other RV parks. But, I wouldn’t quite call it a resort... other than the pools, hot tub, lake access. It is technically full of amenities but it’s still an RV park.
GuideCalling this place a resort is like trying to put lipstick on a pig!
We were given a map at check in with not even a suggestion as to the best way to get to the site. Confusing roads with no travel direction marked made for several passes to get to the right road going the right direction. Never did see a dumpster for trash. Bathrooms were filthy and the long term residents obviously have no rules as to maintaining their sites. The roads and sites are full of potholes and haven't been maintained in years. Better to sleep in a Wal - Mart parking lot.
The only thing resort like was the price!
TravelerOn US1 about 5 to 10 miles from Beach and groceries. Nice shaded dirt camp site. Mixture of overnight and long term campers. Only stayed 2 nights. Watched a rocket launch from out campsite.
RangerWe stayed for 2 nights at Sebastian Inlet State Park. We lucked out and got what we felt was the best site - site 1. This site, although it’s right by the entrance to the campgrounds and overlooks the main road going to the boat ramps/fishing area, seems to have the best combination of views and privacy. There is only one neighbor, and decent separation from that neighbor. You could also sit on the drivers side of your RV if you don’t want to see your neighbors at all. You will see cars going down the road between you and the view though. Also note this park is open 24 hours, so there will be cars driving past you at all hours. (Positive if you don’t like gate codes, negative if you’re like me and like that most of the FL state parks close their gates at sunset.) There was also a lot of noise/music from boats on the waterway - didn’t bother us, but something to expect. The view is beautiful and you can walk to the fishing area on the intracoastal waterway, which is very pretty (and we got to see dolphins swimming by). This view over the waterway also gives you great sunsets. Note that you can’t walk to the Atlantic beaches/pier. At least not easily or maybe we missed something. (Edit - I found out later that you CAN get to the beach from the campground - look for a trail that goes under the main road. ) The main part of the park is over a huge bridge that didn’t have pedestrian walking areas, so we didn’t see the main park at all. Also, there were tons of gnats - maybe no seeums or the gnats distracted me from mosquitoes. Either way, I was covered in bites at this campground. We would return only if we got site 1 again.
TravelerThere are no bad spots at this park. Gorgeous views of the inlet and enough trees for shade but without the being a hindrance during parking. Lovely area to walk and see finishing and plenty of wildlife.
