Best Campgrounds near Indialantic, FL

Campgrounds near Indialantic, Florida range from waterfront parks to full-service RV resorts along the Atlantic coast. Long Point Park Campground in Melbourne Beach provides waterfront sites where "dolphins and manatee swim alongside your kayak," according to one camper. Sebastian Inlet State Park Campground offers tent, RV, cabin, and glamping accommodations with beach access. Other developed campgrounds in the area include Jetty Park Campground in Cape Canaveral and Manatee Cove Family Campground at Patrick Air Force Base, both providing amenities for various camping styles.

Florida's coastal camping areas experience distinct seasonal patterns, with winter months (November through April) representing peak season when northern visitors seek warmer temperatures. Many sites require advance reservations, especially during this high season. A reviewer noted that "Long Point Park was very full in middle of Florida winter season." Most campgrounds in the region remain open year-round, though summer brings intense heat, humidity, and afternoon thunderstorms. Mosquitoes and no-see-ums can be problematic, particularly in evening hours, with one camper warning that at Long Point Park, "no-see-ums are almost unbearable in the evening." Hurricane season (June through November) may affect camping plans with potential evacuations and closures.

Waterfront camping receives consistently high ratings from visitors to the Indialantic area. Sebastian Inlet State Park is praised for being "great for fishing, surfing, boating, and going to the beach," while Jetty Park Campground offers "white sand" beaches just "steps away" from campsites. Several campgrounds feature boat ramps and fishing access, with Long Point Park offering "tons of water access" and shore anchoring at some sites. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound, with multiple reviews mentioning manatee and dolphin sightings. Campers seeking more privacy may prefer Wickham Park Campground or Melbourne Beach Mobile Park, as coastal sites tend to be more closely spaced. Most developed campgrounds provide full hookups for RVs, while tent campers have fewer options in the immediate Indialantic area compared to inland locations.

    Lake Kissimmee State Park Campground

    Laid back camping

    Nice spot to just get away and relax. Lots of hiking trails and some wildlife. Deers all around even among the campsites. Some tours available close by for airboats. We will be back here again.

    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.

    Mango Oak Manor RV Park

    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.

    Fort Pierce-Port St. Lucie KOA

    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.

    Cape Kennedy RV Resort

    Always an excellent experience

    I’ve stayed at this campground many times never had a bad experience. Staff is wonderful if you ever need anything all you do is ask. They’re right on top of it. Clean sites level sites. Even the tent camping is level and clean.

    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


Guide to Indialantic

Campgrounds near Indialantic, Florida provide diverse camping experiences within a subtropical climate zone where temperatures rarely fall below 50°F even in winter. The area sits on a barrier island between the Indian River Lagoon and Atlantic Ocean with elevations typically below 10 feet. Camping options range from primitive tent sites to full-service RV parks with varying levels of privacy and amenities.

What to do

Biking on nearby trails: Wickham Park Campground offers extensive biking opportunities with "lots of bike/walking paths and wide open, quiet spaces" plus "mountain bike trails" according to Jeff F. The park also features an archery range for visitors seeking alternative outdoor activities.

Wildlife viewing: Sebastian Inlet State Park Campground provides excellent wildlife viewing opportunities where campers report seeing "a giant sea turtle bigger than a manhole cover" and watching "dolphins play at sunrise" according to one visitor. The park's position between the Indian River Lagoon and Atlantic Ocean creates diverse habitats.

Space launch viewing: Jetty Park Campground offers "front row seats to the ships coming to port as well as any launches from cape Canaveral which are much more frequent now" according to Jesse P. The park's position near the Cape makes it ideal for watching rocket launches, with multiple campers mentioning this unique attraction.

What campers like

Waterfront camping options: Long Point Park Campground features numerous waterside sites with "tons of water access" and "some sites have shore anchoring" according to Spencer D. The campground provides direct water access where campers can "tie your boat up at your campsite" as noted by Suzie F.

Privacy levels: Wickham Park Campground offers more secluded camping experiences compared to other local options. One camper noted "nice wooded lots...nice change of scenery here on the Florida coast. Quiet and Peaceful. Not a 'party' campground."

Beach access: Melbourne Beach Mobile Park provides extremely convenient beach access with "the beach is 1min by foot away" according to Chiara M. This proximity to the ocean is a significant draw for campers seeking to maximize beach time during their stay.

What you should know

Seasonal insects: Biting insects present significant challenges throughout the region. At Sebastian Inlet State Park, campers advise to "bring bug spray for the no-see-ums and mosquitoes" while others note these tiny insects can be "pretty bad" especially in evening hours.

Site spacing considerations: Many campgrounds feature closely spaced sites. At Sebastian Inlet, one camper noted "sites are close together with little privacy" though waterfront views compensate for this limitation for many visitors.

Reservation patterns: Manatee Cove Family Campground operates primarily on a "first-come, first-served basis with the exception of active duty personnel" and potential guests are "encouraged to call ahead as sites are only available...especially during the months of November thru February when the campground traditionally maintains close to full capacity with retiree snowbirds."

Tips for camping with families

Swimming options: Campgrounds offer varied swimming access. Jetty Park Campground includes a "well-kept swimming pool on property" while many others provide direct water access. Several parks combine both pool and natural water access options.

Playground access: Wickham Park Campground includes a playground among its numerous amenities. One visitor noted the park has "lots to do" including "disc golf, food trucks, farmers market, playground the list goes on!"

Educational opportunities: Outdoor Resorts Melbourne Beach provides opportunities to fish directly from campsites. A family visitor reported they would "relax and fish right off the dock on our site" after busy days exploring the area.

Tips from RVers

Site size considerations: Many campgrounds have limitations for larger rigs. At Manatee Cove Family Campground, one RVer noted "the lots ran on the small side. Anyone with a 42 footer or more might struggle in a few spots" and advised to "call the office, they'll let you know the better lots for the big rigs."

Hookup details: Long Point Park Campground offers varied hookup configurations. One RVer explained "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" providing important insight for planning stays.

Dump station timing: Peak checkout times can create long waits at dump stations. One RVer at Long Point Park reported they "waited inline to dump for 90 mins" because "everyone leaving at 11am checkout" despite the park having "2 dump stations."
