447 Reviews

Palm Bay, Florida has several camping spots for visitors to choose from. The City Park Campground in Palm Bay is close to town and comes with basic setup like tables and fire pits. Palm Bay Area State Park is a good option if you want more trees and natural trails to walk on. If you like quiet camping with fewer amenities, the National Forest Sites near Palm Bay work well. Families tend to like Palm Bay Recreation Area because it has playgrounds and plenty of room for kids to run around. The County Park Campground has good-sized spots that work for both tent campers and people with RVs. Most people find fall and spring are the best times to camp in Palm Bay when the weather isn't too hot. Summers get really hot and humid, so bring extra water and sunscreen if you camp then. Most of these camping areas are easy to reach on regular roads, though you might need a truck or SUV with higher clearance for some of the forest spots. Bathroom and shower availability changes depending on which campground you pick - some have them, others don't. It's smart to call ahead about any closures before you plan your trip.
