"Adjacent island for hiking. Less than a mile from the ocean. In a quiet part of Florida. Not close to stores, though."
"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. "
$28 / night
"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."
"If you happen to be in a site that shares a water spigot with an adjacent unit, make sure you bring a long water hose...we needed to borrow a nice neighbor's spare hose."
"It’s a great place with lots of bike/walking paths and wide open, quiet spaces. Hope to take advantage of the fishing ponds, mountain bike trails and archery range in future visits."
"It’s very close to shops but it doesn’t feel like it when you’re in the campground. Close to beaches. Lots of trails to walk or mountain bike."
$24 - $100 / night
"Love that the beach is only steps away. White sand, beautiful!1 Nice Jetty and multiple restaurants close by. Staff very friendly. Bathrooms are ok. One of my favorite campgrounds."
"Great short local trip for our family of 6 and 2 dogs. Lots of friendly people and other dogs."
$10 - $30 / night
"Nice wooded lots. .. nice change of scenery here on the Florida coast. Quite and Peaceful. Not a “party “ campground like Long Point . The Staff in the office was helpful and friendly."
"This location reminded me of the TV show ‘I Dream of Jeannie’. Located near Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral it is directly along the historic Banana River."
"Good camping experience with good "neighbors" nice hiking trail, 20 minutes from beaches. 30amp hookup with water and sewer."
"Wasn't much for hiking trails though and the camp groundsman kept finding reasons to come on to our camp and conversate for far to long. Friendly but to much so."
$35 / night
"My partner and I were looking for a snow-bird location for the winter in the Melbourne area and came across this park."
$37 - $69 / night
"Awesome shade (pretty critical in Florida this time of the year). Really can’t say anything bad about our experience here—stayed for a week—no complaints at all."
"Close to Indian River and the beach. Close to restaurants and groceries. On the highway, but traffic noise is minimal."
ScoutThis is a very clean, pet and children friendly RV park. Gated dog park with lots of toys.
GuideWe had a soccer tournament in Melbourne Beach so we were on a search for a place to stay in our travel travel for the weekend. Outdoor Resorts was the perfect choice! Yes there are many permanent residents but everyone was super friendly and we never felt out of place. Connie in the front office was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She was so helpful and always available if we had any questions. We had a site right on the river and close to the pool. After a long day on the soccer pitch we would relax and fish right off the dock on our site... it was just perfect and we highly recommend Outdoor Resorts Melbourne Beach ⛱
ScoutNo dogs allowed and they like many Florida parks should have some way for Fl residence to actually be able to camp in Florida but no they don’t 
ScoutGreat place for a stop over. Needed a place to hangout for a few weeks. This place fit the bill. Dog park, little restaurant, general store, pool, basketball court and lots of shaded spots (my fave when in Florida) would definitely recommend.
TravelerTHIS quaint little park is so delightful. With so many gorgeous water birds and trees. The park sits off the Indian River and is the perfect place to catch a launch. The are also very dog friendly and have a dog park. The dock is also the perfect place to catch some redfish or snook. Had a wonderful time in this tucked away little spot.
ScoutWe 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.---
GuideGreat location to walk down to the pier and watch the rockets launch from the space center. Nice swimming pool, store and laundry 3 on site. Ice big camp sites with lots of shade. Dog park and showers. Fish from the pier and small boat launch from park.
GuideIt is so nice, right on the Indian river. There is a large fenced Dog Park on the riverfront. Near Titusville, FL. You can see Kennedy Space Center across the water.
LegendArrived here for a three-night tent stay at spot 153. The campground is easily accessible from the highway, and a breeze to check in. Friendly staff. Dumpsters behind the main office. All roads are one-way counterclockwise. The bathroom and laundry room are about 100 meters from spot 153. Both are clean. There's a nice pavilion overlooking the water inside the eastern loop. There's a good size, fenced-in, leash-free dog park next to the water. The water views are beautiful at sunrise. There's a pier for fishing and just serene eastern observation toward Cape Canaveral. There's a kayak launch ramp as well.
Spot 153 was perfectly partially shaded, with a mix of sand and grass, and it was level. The only critters seen here are playful squirrels. RV spots can be quite close to each other, but not many of their inhabitants were seen outside during these chilly, mid-December days when the temperature dipped to 40F at night, and high 50's in the day. All spots have electric and picnic table. The water spigot at 153 was about two inches from the ground. Why?
The only downside of the campground is its proximity to railroad tracks and airport. The noise seemed to be constant on weekdays.
