Best Campgrounds near Grant, FL

Camping options around Grant, Florida include a mix of waterfront parks and RV-friendly facilities along the Indian River Lagoon and Atlantic coast. Sebastian Inlet State Park offers tent, RV, cabin, and glamping accommodations approximately 5 miles northeast of Grant, while Long Point Park Campground provides waterfront sites with kayak access just 3 miles south. Donald MacDonald Campground features more secluded tent and RV camping with boat-in access. The region includes several established campgrounds with full hookups rather than primitive or dispersed camping areas.

Weather conditions significantly impact the camping experience in this coastal area, with high humidity and insects being common challenges during summer months. "Very friendly folks working there! Many of the campsites are waterfront sites. Dolphins and manatee swim alongside your kayak. Adjacent island for hiking. Less than a mile from the ocean. In a quiet part of Florida. Not close to stores, though," notes one visitor about Long Point Park. No-see-ums and mosquitoes are particularly active during evening hours, especially near water. Most campgrounds in the area remain open year-round, with winter being the peak season when temperatures are milder and bugs less prevalent. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the region, though some waterfront sites may have spotty coverage.

Waterfront camping represents the primary draw for visitors to the Grant area, with multiple campgrounds offering direct access to the Indian River Lagoon. According to reviews, wildlife viewing opportunities include dolphins, manatees, and various bird species. Sebastian Inlet State Park receives high ratings for its beach access and fishing opportunities, while Long Point Park is noted for its kayaking. One camper mentioned that "This 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." Most campgrounds provide standard amenities including showers, restrooms, and hookups, though privacy between sites is limited at many locations. Visitors seeking more secluded experiences may prefer Donald MacDonald Campground, which one reviewer described as a "beautiful, private escape into nature."

    Vero Beach Kamp

    Absolutely the worst choice

    Watch out for these predators — they will charge for anything they can, they won’t give refunds for early departures even when it’s family medical emergencies, the staff is wildly rude in the front office (you’d think at least one person who worked there wouldn’t be a complete horror show of a human, but no such luck). And they hose down their bathrooms which is just plain gross. The sites are too close together, and even in summer (low season) they’re too stupid to put any space between guests.

    If you can possibly stay anywhere else, do yourself a favor and keep away from this nightmare of a place.

    Not really for camping

    For those with long term placement in the area with an RV this is one of the options, not great

    Jetty Park Campground

    Quiet Midweek Stay, Helpful Staff, Rustic but Clean Facilities

    We stayed here with a tent in mid-June, during the week. The campground was quiet, with about two-thirds of the sites unoccupied— a peaceful atmosphere overall. I originally booked site#30 based on the photos, which showed some tree cover. In reality, the site was mostly exposed, likely due to outdated imagery. Thankfully, the staff was understanding and allowed us to move to a shaded spot directly across the road. The full shade was much appreciated in the heat, though it made our solar panels essentially useless— and since rustic sites don’t include water or electricity, that did limit options. Restrooms and showers were clean, but completely unventilated and without air conditioning. In summer temperatures, that made things uncomfortable and is the main reason I’m deducting a star. Overall, it’s a quiet and well-kept campground. If you’re prepared for the rustic setup and come midweek, it’s a pleasant place to stay.

    STARLINK 10/10

    Rude

    We didn’t stay here but I was trying to get a reservation for this winter. The website says you have to call them. It gives you no information so you have no choice. Then the lady that answered must have felt I was bothering her. She asked what length our Rv was and I told her and immediately she said no we have no spaces available! Put that on your website and you’ll avoid all of those pesky phone calls.

    Sebastian Inlet State Park Campground

    Beautiful place

    The inlet has friendly, helpful rangers, easy to access campsites, and is in a beautiful location. Great for fishing, surfing, boating, and going to the beach. It’s Florida though, so bring bug spray for the no-see-ums and mosquitoes.

    Long Point Park Campground

    Great location and affordable

    Pros: 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

    Manatee Hammock Campground

    Nice campground!

    This 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.

    Long Point Park Campground

    First time camper’s opinion

    This 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.

    Sebastian Inlet State Park Campground

    Good campground …

    Stayed 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.
