Most campgrounds in this area experience significant seasonal occupancy fluctuations, with November through April being peak months when availability becomes extremely limited.

What to do
Rocket launches: Watch space launches from Encore Space Coast in Rockledge, located about 30 minutes from Cape Canaveral. "We got to see a space X rocket launch from the space center from the campground. Located close to all attractions including disney, and the space center and lots of other great places to see," notes Robin M.
Beach access: Several campgrounds offer proximity to beaches with public access points. The Lucky Clover RV & Mobile Home Park in Indian Harbour Beach is "walking distance to the beach and good resturants," according to Harry B., making it convenient for beach activities without driving.
Fishing opportunities: Many RV parks in the area provide fishing access. At Camelot RV Park in Malabar, campers can enjoy "fishing on the river" as mentioned by Deanna S. The park features both drive-in and boat-in access, allowing anglers multiple ways to enjoy the water.
What campers like
Pool facilities: Swimming pools are highly valued amenities during hot Florida days. At Encore Sunshine Travel in Vero Beach, visitors appreciate "a great pool area" with Lisa H. noting, "This place is very clean, quiet and has a great pool area."
Proximity to attractions: The central location of many RV parks provides easy access to regional highlights. As Laura H. states about Encore Space Coast, "We enjoy this park a lot because it has so much to offer nearby... Approximately 30 minutes from Cocoa Beach, and Cape Canaveral."
Clean facilities: Well-maintained grounds and facilities receive frequent positive mentions. The Sonrise Palms RV park offers "very clean communal toilet/showers if slightly dated" according to Annabel F., who also noted their "nice heated pool" as a welcome amenity.
What you should know
Spacing considerations: Many RV parks place units close together, particularly during peak season. Ronald C. notes about Encore Space Coast: "spots are very tight and no dog park... the guy next door had to move his truck for me to get in and I only could park my truck in front of my door since there was no space anywhere else."
Long-term vs. short-term stays: Several parks cater primarily to extended stays rather than overnight camping. At Vero Beach Kamp, one reviewer mentions it's "kinda high priced w no cancellation policy," which can affect flexibility for shorter visits.
Railroad proximity: Some campgrounds are located near active rail lines. Camelot RV Park has "railroad tracks on the West boundary" as noted by Jorge L., which may create periodic noise for light sleepers.
Tips for camping with families
Pool safety: Most parks with pools do not provide lifeguards, requiring parental supervision. Sven L. mentioned that at Encore Space Coast, the "heated pool was very nice for the kids" but parents should note supervision requirements.
Pet policies: Rules regarding pets vary significantly between parks. Lucky Clover allows pets but has restrictions. Heath H. reports: "We have found all residents in the park to be extremely friendly, polite, and all live with a tremendous sense of community pride in the park."
Entertainment options: Several parks offer recreational facilities beyond swimming. Christy C. notes that Sunshine Travel RV Resort has "lots of amenities like pool, horseshoe, shuffleboard, Mini golf course, clubhouse with restrooms and an attached laundry facility."
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Corner sites or edge locations typically offer more space. About Sonrise Palms RV, Tony W. mentions it's "a very clean, pet and children friendly RV park" with a "gated dog park with lots of toys."
Connectivity: WiFi quality varies significantly between parks. Many experienced RVers recommend using personal hotspots as primary internet sources. Annabel F. notes Sonrise Palms offers "very good wifi signal" but this is uncommon among area campgrounds.
