Best Campgrounds near Vero Beach, FL

394 Reviews

The coastal corridor surrounding Vero Beach, Florida features a diverse range of camping options within a 30-mile radius. Sebastian Inlet State Park Campground offers oceanfront sites with full hookups for RVs and tent camping areas just 15 miles north of downtown. Long Point Park Campground in Melbourne Beach provides waterfront sites where campers can observe dolphins and manatees from their campsites. Vero Beach Kamp offers 120 sites with amenities for both RV and tent campers, while several private RV resorts cater to seasonal visitors. The area includes a mix of state park facilities, county-managed recreation areas, and private campgrounds that accommodate everything from primitive tent camping to luxury RV setups with full hookups.

Reservations are essential during winter months when the region experiences its highest visitation from November through April. Many campgrounds fill completely during this peak season, particularly those with water views or premium amenities. Summer camping brings challenges with heat, humidity, and insects, with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F. According to one visitor at Long Point Park, "Many of the campsites are waterfront sites with dolphins and manatee swimming alongside your kayak, less than a mile from the ocean." Cell service is generally reliable throughout the region, with most campgrounds reporting 3-4 bars on major carriers. Hurricane season (June through November) may affect availability, and some campgrounds implement temporary closures during severe weather events.

Wildlife viewing opportunities rank high among camper experiences in the Vero Beach area. Visitors frequently report sightings of wading birds, manatees, dolphins, and occasionally alligators in nearby waterways. Shade availability varies significantly between campgrounds, with many reviewers noting limited tree cover at certain sites. As one camper at Vero Beach Kamp noted, "Beautiful shaded campground, nice swimming pool, clean and quiet." Proximity to water activities represents a key attraction, with kayaking, fishing, and beach access available at several locations. Road noise can be an issue at campgrounds near highways, particularly those close to I-95 or US-1. Facilities generally receive positive reviews for cleanliness, though water quality occasionally receives mentions for sulfur smell at some locations.
