Best Campgrounds near Fort Pierce, FL

The Fort Pierce area in Florida has several camping spots worth checking out. Jonathan Dickinson State Park gives campers both tent and RV options, though you'll need to keep food locked up since wildlife is common throughout the park. Sebastian Inlet State Park Campground puts you right by the beach with good fishing, but don't expect much space between you and your neighbors. Both parks have decent roads leading to them, but calling ahead about closures saves headaches. For a quieter experience, head to Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park where the night sky really shines, but your car might struggle on the access roads if it's been raining. John Prince Park Campground has bigger sites with trees that block the sun when Florida heats up in summer. Many campers like Long Point Park Campground for its waterside spots, even though you won't find sewer hookups at every site. Each place has its own feel, so think about what matters most for your trip. Florida weather changes quickly, so checking the forecast before leaving home prevents surprises. Bug spray is essential gear since mosquitoes love the water areas around Fort Pierce. The camping around Fort Pierce works well for families and solo campers alike.
