Best RV Parks & Resorts near Rockledge, FL

I have to admit, when I first discovered Mill Creek RV Resort on our smartphone’s GPS, I had nothing but low expectations and when navigating to get to this seemingly RV road stand, all of the traffic and commercial real estate surrounding this place was just begging me to turn around and hightail it out of here. That was, until we decided to check out this RV parking spot. And we were somewhat pleasantly surprised by what we found. While easily not a destination, if your aim is to simply find comfortable, affordable and safe accommodations to roll up your mobile living room for the night, then (especially for the price), you won’t be disappointed. 

To begin with, the community and neighbors you will meet are incredibly welcoming and the owners / management couldn’t be more hospitable. This place on the one hand has a small neighborhood feel (because it is partly carved out of a residential area) and on the other, feels like a semi-decent nature preserve where RV’s aren’t jam packed next to one another. Sure, it’s tight in a few places, but all-in-all, one feels safe and secure here and offered a number of pretty great and new amenities. And if you don’t have an RV, no worries, the good folks at Mill Creek RV Resort will rent you one of their newly built park models. 

Mill Creek RV Resort offers a number of amenities, including: complete RV hook-ups (20 / 30 / 50 electric amp, water and sewage lines) with pull-through and back-in flat concrete slab sites, picnic tables, heated in-ground pool complete with lounge chairs and umbrellas, recreation hall with ping pong tables, coin-operated laundry facilities, very clean restroom and shower facilities, kid’s playground w/ slide, doggie park (one for small and another for large), mail center, cable TV access, free WiFi access (near the office only though) as well as indoor and outdoor games (e.g. horse shoes, shuffle board, corn hole), propane refill station, LP gas, cable TV access and even sheds for extra storage. 

Insider’s tips? Here’s a handful: (1) This location puts you within short driving distance to Walt Disney World, Universal, Seaworld and a bunch of other family-friendly entertainment options; (2) When you get tired of paying for overpriced amusement park food or can’t muster enough strength to plan your next meal from the confines of what might be available in your RV fridge, then venture out to one of these nearby eateries: Coqui Snacks, Sol de Borinquen Bakery Restaurant & Deli or Dolce Bakery and Café; and (3) If you brought a kayak or canoe, I highly recommend launching in nearby Kissimmee Lakefront Park, where if you go to the far eastern side, you can cast a line and catch some pretty good fish. 

Happy Camping!

We booked last minute in January for an overnight stay with a 25ft RV. They were able to accommodate us. Majority of guests are here for long term. They all made us newbies feel very welcome. Paid 55$ for full hook-up. Poor wifi reception.

You can get a RV site through Westgate which is more of a field or through River Ranch RV Resort which has full hook-ups. We stayed on a waterfront site at River Ranch RV Resort and it was perfect! We were able to fish right off the dock at our site, there was a fit pit and grill, as well as seating outside (each site could be configured differently). At Westgate River Ranch (walking distance from our site but still got a golf cart) we went to the rodeo on Saturday night, did a swamp buggy ride, skeet shooting, petting zoo and rode a mechanical bull... and there was still more we could have done but ran out of time since we still wanted to relax some 🙃 If you're looking for a great site with tons of activities available River Ranch RV Resort is the place for you!

Campground Review: Sunshine Travel RV Resort is an encore/thousand trails campground. The grounds are very well maintained with lots of amenities like pool, horseshoe, shuffleboard, Mini gold course, clubhouse with restrooms and an attached laundry facility. Since we were there for a soccer tournament, it was nice to have a place to wash the stinky uniforms in between games. We never saw any staff because the office is closed on weekends which posed a small problem when we had an issue in the laundry room. Other than that, it was a nice reasonably priced place to stay with a variety of campers, permanent residents and cabins for rent. Gear review: I wore my Xero Umara Z-trail shoes all weekend. It is my second pair to receive and I love them. So comfortable you hardly know they are there. No rub areas or hot spots from long use. I have worn them in a kayak, riverbed, soccer field, running track and just around the house. Highly recommend giving them a try!

We're members of Thousand Trails but we had to pay extra to stay here.  It was a place to stay, nothing special.  If you are there in the winter, the pool was cold and closes early.  It is basically a place to stay and not very scenic.  There are a lot of full-timers with their 'stuff.'  The people in the site next to us had an outdoor shed with tons of junk everywhere.  The park was close to Disneyworld and we dropped about $400 on a day at Epcot and had to drink our way through all the countries to make it worth our time since many of the attractions/rides were closed.  I had fond memories of times at Disneyworld in the past with my kids but now, it feels like an artificial money suck.  If you are in the area, I would recommend one of the other RV parks that has more to offer.

You’ll discover Indian River Village RV just off US1 in Oak Hill on a scant-trafficked little lane that runs perpendicular to the Intracoastal Waterway. This shade-less, pebble-strewn RV resting post packs in quite a bit, offering WiFi, laundry facilities, shower/ bathroom (which are problematically locked 24 hours a day), picnic tables and BBQ’s, boat ramp and slips in addition to all the traditional RV hook ups (30 / 50 electric amps, sewage, water). 

The real bonus to this place is its location and relative solitude (although you will find that proximity to your neighbors leaves a little to be desired). There’s no end to all of the amazing fishing spots that abound here, as well as simply fantastic access to the Intracoastal whether via kayak, canoe or boat. And if you’ve forgotten a pole, netting or fishing gear, the good folks at Indian River Village RV have lots of spare items and parts to lend you if in need. Nearby there’s even a park – Nancy Cummings Children’s Park – for the kiddos. 

Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) Bring your mosquito repellent because, well, you’re right near the Mosquito Lagoon and they didn’t name it that because there weren’t any mosquitos around!; (2) If you can, try to visit during the months of June through October where in Mosquito Lagoon, Banana River and Indian river, the water comes to life with bioluminescence – it’s quite a site to see (as well as to swim in at night, but just be aware of the gators) with glittering dinoflagellates and pulsing Comb Jellies can be seen everywhere as they illuminate the otherwise dark waters; and (3) Don’t miss out visiting Goodrich Seafood & Oyster House, which is a bit of a local legend and has been around for nearly a hundred years, as they fry, boil, grill and sauté some of the best seafood around that you’ll be grateful to bite into. 

Happy Camping!

This is a great campground if you want to visit Orlando/ Kissimee attractions without paying an arm and a leg. It is located by old town in Kissimmee. The RV resort is always neat and clean. Sites are well maintained with full hookups. You can also rent a cabin or even buy one on site for full-time rsort living. There are showers, laundry facility (at pool). pool side cafe, shuffleboard and wi-fi. This place is always busy with a calendar of scheduled activities like Holiday parties, block parties, etc.

Good RV Park near Disney and it is a very pretty, lush, tropical park. Old town Kissimmee is right next door, and it has several loud amusement rides. This is definitely an active RV Park, lots of people out enjoying all of the activities. Spaces are tight and roads are narrow and lots of curves and curbs. The only bummer we noticed was the dumpster area in the middle of the park would get hot and it would stink pretty bad, Florida is breezy and it was pretty unpleasant.

They have golf cart rental, thought that was pretty cool.

They have a gate guard shack thing and lots of staff members. They have dark green polos ride around on golf carts. They were very friendly and they have many planned activities for guests and residents.

They have a few sections: -The premium spots on the south side of the park were the nicest with the most space. -Thousand Trails section is on the West side and they do not have sewer (they said they are working on this in 2020)

Lots of built in units for rental, some streets are narrow and challenging to navigate. Many spots did not have sewer, but they had free pump outs every Wednesday and a dump station. They will be fixing this during 2020- per management.

Cell signals: Decent cellular service for AT&T and Very good T-Mobile service.

They have: Pool Cafe/Bar 1 Hot Tub Mini Golf Volleyball Courts Shuffle Board Club House Mail Room Camp Store Basketball Laundry Shower Houses Kids play room and play area Gym Pool Tables Creek running through the middle

This review relates to River Ranch RV Resort, which is next to the Westgate property. I would personally not stay at the Westgate RV since it is basically just an open field with RV spots. 

River Ranch RV next door is a beautiful place with fantastic spots. We stayed in spot 323 which had its own swing and fireplace. Our 37 ft rig fit perfectly and five year old loved riding bike around the park. Everyone was super friendly and I recommend renting a golf cart, though expensive at $60 a day, 

Be aware of telephone phone reception. At our spot we could not get any reception with ATT. After buying a Verizon hotspot down the road in Lake Wales, we were able to WFH.a

Would highly recommend this spot in Central Florida.

My partner and I were looking for a snow-bird location for the winter in the Melbourne area and came across this park. We read the old reviews and wanted to make sure we left a more up-to-date review for others. 

So here's the deal... There aren't many RV parks in the area(at least near where we wanted to be) so options were slim. We spoke with Sue, the absolutely outstanding property manager, and decided to give the park a try. It is important to note, the park is under new ownership/management(Parakeet Communities- parakeetcommunities-dot-com/community/lucky-clover/). The new management has worked*extremely* hard to clean up and revitalize the park so please try to ignore some of the older reviews.

This park is definitely not for overnight or even weekly stays. This is a long-term mobile home and RV community with individuals who either live here full-time or for at least several(6+) months at a time. Navigating the inside roads with a big-rig is only possible with the help of the on-site property maintenance person, Jason, who is also amazingly friendly and helpful. The spaces are close together but even with our 43' fifth wheel, we were able to back-in to our space easily enough.

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. Our immediate neighbors walked over and introduced themselves the first day we moved in, which was so delightful and welcoming. We know our neighbor's names and feel very welcomed and safe in this park.

< 6 month rates are$1,400/mo and>6 month rates are around$1,100(or thereabouts). Rent includes electricity, water, sewer, and trash. There is a laundry building with washers/dryers but we have not used them. The park is in a prime location near shopping, groceries, restaurants, and is walking distance to the beach. There is also a well-kept swimming pool on property however, we have not had a chance to take a dip; It looks nice enough though. Cellular service is decent in the park however, if you will be here long-term, it would be best to purchase Internet service through Spectrum for$50/mo. All sites have Spectrum cable hookups but you will need to purchase your own TV/Internet service.

Is there a Great Oak here? Yeah, definitely. Is this an RV Resort? Maybe. When I think of a ‘resort,’ I think of a few things: community pool, free-flowing bar serving cocktails with little umbrellas in them along with a few other things like tiki lanterns, shuffleboard, lineup of events and most importantly, a convivial welcoming feel from the surrounding community. On this latter front, Great Oak RV Resort does not live up to its name. But if you can get past this and are simply looking for a decent place to park your 5th wheel for the night very near Orlando, then this place isn’t the worst place you could book your stay for the night. 

What I appreciated most about Great Oak RV Resort is just how ‘At Home’ everyone here – from the management (Jovan and Begie are some of the kindest, most welcoming hosts ever!) to the next-door neighbors you are assigned – make you feel comfortable with their welcoming approach. From a pet-friendly environ where you’ll encounter no shortage of folks walking their dogs or inviting you in to pet their cats to the way in which those residents are here for a longer haul than the typical passerby looking for a place to plant their RV for the night, everyone we encountered was hospitable in a very authentic way. 

From an amenities standpoint, there’s a decent offering: 30 / 50 amp electrical, water and sewage hook-ups, heated large community swimming pool, 24 / 7 laundry facilities, recreational hall complete with daily (and nightly) events including bingo, card-playing and a small lender library, well-maintained bath houses and restroom facilities, designated garbage disposal and plenty of activities including shuffleboard, horse shoes and an easy to manage well-paved pathway perfect for long walks or short bike rides. Did I mention that this place is incredibly affordable? While we looked at no fewer than a dozen RV sites, this place was definitely the most economical. 

Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) Once you get tired of foraging through your cooler or mini onboard refrigerator, and you wanna check something local and love all things ‘South of the Border’ then check out one of two great Mexican joints: Tortilleria La Mexicana #10 for outstanding fajitas or Taqueria Casas for some, well, great street tacos!; (2) If you come hauling your own watercraft (kayak, canoe, waterbike, etc.) then definitely head on over to the lower half of Lake Tohopekaliga where there’s some seriously amazing little bends to careen around as well as some very awesome fishing holes, particularly for Bass; (3) Check out Lake Toho Fish Camp, which is another place you might be interested in setting up for the night if Great Oak RV Resort is fully-booked, plus they offer a boat slip along with bait & tackle shop; and (4) Looking for some 80’s nostalgia? If so, then check out either AMF Kissimmee Lanes or nearby Skate Reflections for some disco-ball inspired Rollerink coasting! 

Happy Camping!

We actually got a spot at RRRVR (river ranch RV resort) which is on the backside by the smoke house restaurant. It was lot 196 and it was FANTASTIC! River ranch has so much to do. Rodeos, food, putt putt, petting zoo- and tons more. A great family venue. Will definitely be back.

East Toho RV Resort (name changed) was a great quick spot for me to stay overnight before an early morning meeting. I was able to check in late easily via a lock box and found a great campsite close to clean bathroom/shower facilities. While it was late and dark, the resort seemed very nice and affordable. I will would definitely be back!

Felt like “The Villages”. Nice active clean community- mostly long term folks. Long dock- well equipped clubhouse. 4 month lease. $650 mo starting fee.

We only started one night, thank god bc we would have left early. Long term residents made it not so private and made us quite uncomfortable for our family about d the campground and pool. Cabin faced the long term residents as well and was right in front of the dump station. Just uncomfortable feeling. I am so thankful that we decided not to tent, we would have never slept with the speeding, loud trucks on the highway. We could hear all of it through the walls of the cabin. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else 😬😬😬😬 Front desk woman was the only thing that was nice.

This is another KOA on our extended road trip around Florida. This one is a little older, and shows wear, but they are doing some construction, rebuilding some of the sites. The internet was hit or miss, mostly miss! The bathroom/showroom is dated, but adequate. It reminded me of a high school shower room. There is a small office/store with basics. Also a pool and laundry (most of the washers were out of order) Some of the roads are rough, and a few sites don’t look like they are useable. We were here in late October, between the summer family crowds and the winter Snowbirds. They do have long term rates for Snowbirds. It’s about 20 minutes from a manatee rehabilitation park, and also a manatee overlook pier. It is 30 minutes from Cape Kennedy and the NASA Space Center.
