Best RV Parks & Resorts near Fort Pierce, FL

Campground Review: Sunshine Travel RV Resort is an encore/thousand trails campground. The grounds are very well maintained with lots of amenities like pool, horseshoe, shuffleboard, Mini gold course, clubhouse with restrooms and an attached laundry facility. Since we were there for a soccer tournament, it was nice to have a place to wash the stinky uniforms in between games. We never saw any staff because the office is closed on weekends which posed a small problem when we had an issue in the laundry room. Other than that, it was a nice reasonably priced place to stay with a variety of campers, permanent residents and cabins for rent. Gear review: I wore my Xero Umara Z-trail shoes all weekend. It is my second pair to receive and I love them. So comfortable you hardly know they are there. No rub areas or hot spots from long use. I have worn them in a kayak, riverbed, soccer field, running track and just around the house. Highly recommend giving them a try!

There are limited options for affordable camping in this part of Florida, so plan to book your stay here a while in advance as it fills up. We are lucky to snag two nights here on our way to Miami. Lots of hiking options and some really nice views. The RV park has full hookups and is almost completely filled with older adult campers high end big rigs. Clean facilities and level sites though.

OK, the many RV parking lots claiming to be a ‘resort’ IMHO don’t ever live up to the hype – they simply set the expectations at an all-time high and then fail to deliver, but Treasure Coast RV Resort, perfectly situated between Vero Beach and Port St. Lucie (excellent location puts it just 1 mile to both 95 and FL Turnpike) delivers in spades. 

To begin with, despite the first impressions you might have of the place given the war-torn side street you’ll have to take north to access this location and the obfuscated sign that likely will have you drive right by the entrance, once you do make your way here, you’ll be impressed as soon as you turn in. The welcome reception / manager’s office feels like a luxury resort welcoming lounge (minus being greeted by Mr. Rourke and Tatoo serving up a tropical drink with an umbrella in it). Once you get checked in, the front desk staff will ensure you are properly deluged with all sorts of local information as well as vitals on the campground itself. 

The pads you’ll be parking on are newly poured concrete and the whole place is landscaped to full effect. Behind the welcome reception is the community pool (and hot jacuzzi – bonus points!), which is pretty amazing (and also feels brand spanking new). Beyond this, the entire grounds are surrounded by a good size pond (where I believe swimming in is frowned upon). All the traditional hook-ups are offered (30/50 electrical amps, water, sewage, etc.) and amenities such as picnic tables and community grills as well as free WiFi and cable. There’s a clubhouse that has ping pong, a billiards table and a few card playing tables. The restroom / shower facilities are incredibly clean and overall excellent and there’s also a coin-operated laundr-O-mat. 

One of the best features of the property is that it is entirely gated and there’s a security gate where you’ll have to swipe to gain access. While there’s not much in the way of foliage around each of the sites (you’ll have complete visibility to your neighbors – OK, in reality, to the whole neighborhood) but aside from this, you’ll find plenty of space between you and the other RV’s here. 

Insider’s tips? While there’s a ton to see and explore within the surrounding area, I highly recommend exploring Okeechobee, Hutchinson and Jupiter Islands, Jensen Beach and for excellent kayaking, head on over to Sewall’s Point, but get there early before the crowds make it difficult to get your flotation device in the water. 

Happy Camping!

It's a marina with RV sites, not your typical RV park with a marina. The sites are large, so you're not 10 feet from your neighbor. There's probably more like 40 to 50 feet between the sites. The concrete pads are level, long, and wide. It's close to everything Fort Pierce has to offer. Some within walking distance. Keep in mind that this is a marina, so there's lots of boats and other RV'S in storage here. There's also the traffic associated with the marina. If you're a boater, then this is for you. If you're a resort type camper, this is probably not the place for you.

So, we were here a bit long term in the summer. Staying here in the summer is as bad as being in Vermont in winter. You need a reason to be there and sadly we did.
First off, waking up to lions roaring and bonobos scream in the morning was freaking amazing! I will treasure this memory for the rest of my life. The facilities are aging but are clean. The ladies in the front office were awesome and accommodating. We purchased a new RV while there and they had no issues moving us and making sure we were good with moving up from a 30 Amp to a 50 Amp site. At $99/night it is expensive and by not having the facilities of a KOA Holiday and being so far away from the Highway as a KOA Journey I can't give it 5 stars but, it is damn close.

If you are looking for an outdoors ‘nature’ experience that is well-manicured, perfectly organized and brand-spanking new – and you find yourself in Central Florida – then look no further than Fort Pierce West KOA Holiday, which is so close to I95 (exit 129 FL70 Okeechobee Road) that you will feel (and hear) the constant SWOOSH! of passing traffic 24 hours a day. This could either make this destination just outside of Fort Piece (a.k.a The Sunrise City) a gem or nightmare, depending upon what you are looking for. 

While I’m sure the very great folks at this ‘Treasure Coast’ KOA would make room for tent campers, this destination is really geared towards those that are towing their campground living room behind them. There’s perfectly flat and evenly situated diagonal RV parking lanes with which to park your wheeled campground wherein you will enjoy traversing the entire campground on freshly poured black asphalt. Each pull-through or back-in evenly laid pebble-strewn site comes complete with a little swath of green grass, on-ground BBQ grill rings, picnic table and all the traditional hook-ups (50 / 20 / 30 electric, water and sewage). 

But wait! There’s more (and because this is a KOA, that actually means, a LOT more!): complimentary WiFi, horshoe pit, Kamp K9 dog park, cable TV, endless neon-colored outdoor tables and chairs, community firepits, corn hole, ladder ball (don’t ask me), laundr-O-mat, library, shuffleboard, group picnic areas, pickleboard as well as being satellite friendly. There’s an absolutely gorgeous (too gorgeous IMHO for any campground, but hey, it’s KOA) in-ground heated pool as well as a small ‘catch& release’ pond that you can either fish from the perimeter of or drop in a little boat/ kayak. And, just in the event that you’ve forgotten anything, this KOA has an on-site camp store that would put Disney World to shame – there’s hats, shirts, tchotchkies and all of the food and drink items you would expect. 

Insider’s tips? Here's a few: (1) There’s a lot to explore in and around Fort Pierce and a I highly recommend heading on over to Indian River Lagoon and Manatee Observation & Education Center for some excellent fishing and kayaking; (2) If you’re looking for a few restaurant recco’s – I’d steer you towards Manatee Island Bar & Grill, Sailfish Brewery and Jack & Diane’s (big nod to my hero John Cougar Mellancamp); (3) Of course, being this close to the ocean, you need to get yourself over to the beach where I would recommend a day-trip to Hutchinson Island, and if you’re toting your fishing poles with you head on over to Herman Bay for some excellent fishing and sundowners  where The Jetty Lounge is very well regarded; and (4) If you'd like to discover a really nice slice of paradise in close proximity to this KOA, then head no further than a few miles south to George Le Strange Preserve where there are a handful of really great hiking trails (all basic BTW), a very decent lake to do some decent fishing in as well as a small canoe launch.

Happy Camping!

The Savanna’s campground is just a few miles up the road from our home and a great place for a quick last minute weekend outing. The park is beautiful. There are trails to bike or walk along the nature preserve. The sites have full hook ups a fire pit and a picnic table on them. I recommend this as a great weekend getaway.

Site 36. Very long and roomy. 38 ft class A had no problems. Roads wide with no trees blocking. Full hook ups, paved, but no shade. Restrooms are spotless, and have laundry. Plenty of walking and biking trails. Going to the river campground, you pass the railroad. There are plenty of bikers there for the trails.

This is a newly updated marina with 10 RV sites that all have full hookups. The one downside is that there is very little shade and you probably won’t be able to open your awning due to the breeze (right on the water). There are boat, jet ski, and kayak rentals available right on site. The bathrooms are very well kept and updated. There are showers and laundry available for use. The nicest thing about this park is the location. Across the street is a beautiful beach right on the Fort Pierce Inlet. Perfect for kids. Very shallow and no current. Beautiful clean blue water. A few minutes east is Jetty Park. The jetty extends out past the inlet and it’s a very nice walk. There is plenty to do in the area and it is in close proximity to groceries and restaurants.

It is a smaller rv park that has electric and water. There are about 50% that live here. There are 2 unisex bathrooms with showers. The internet works, so does TMobile. It is walking distance to Publix and a restaurant/marina.

A well maintained campground, The spaces are spacious , clean and well equipped. You can find Grill, fire pit and drainage for your RV. Park ranger are friendly.

We sold our house in West Palm Beach and relocated to Vero Beach for work, choosing to stay in our RV at this park while awaiting our new home to be built. Initially, we were excited, but the management at this park turned out to be a nightmare. Despite the reasonable and straightforward rules, we faced constant harassment. We have two dogs that we walk multiple times a day. There are no trash cans or doggy bags on the property except in the dog park, so we took the initiative to buy an outdoor trash can and a bulk supply of dog waste bags to ensure we cleaned up after our pets. Yet, we received weekly notices accusing us of not cleaning up after our dogs. Each time I went to the main office to discuss these notices, I was told to“just ignore it” as it was likely a“pesty neighbor.” Additionally, when family visited us for the day and parked at our RV slot, we received notices about parking violations. After discussing this with the office, we were advised to have our visitors park in the lot by the restaurant, which we did. Despite this, we continued to receive notices for various infractions, such as improper water hookup and not stopping completely in the neighborhood. This felt like borderline harassment. As responsible adults who strive to follow regulations, we were perplexed and frustrated by these continuous and unfounded accusations. Each time we sought clarification from the office, they dismissed our concerns, blaming"nosey neighbors" and suggesting neighborly disputes were at play. Ultimately, we were given a 30-day notice to vacate the property. This experience is particularly disappointing because we had suggested this park for our upcoming family reunion, which would have brought 47 rentals for a week. Now, I can't wait to leave this place. For anyone considering a short-term stay, this park may suffice. However, I strongly advise against bringing pets unless you want to be harassed and falsely accused. For those seeking a long-term rental, avoid this park at all costs, as you will face weekly harassment. Furthermore, we had several packages confirmed as delivered to the“receptionist/front desk,” which mysteriously went missing, apparently mishandled by the staff. Our initial excitement to be part of the Road Runner community has completely dissipated. I am eager to leave and will never return. I do not recommend this park and will be warning others. 0/10.---
