Best Campgrounds near Vero Beach, FL

388 Reviews

Spacious sites with water and electric hookups can be found at Jonathan Dickinson State Park near Vero Beach. Lake Kissimmee State Park has good shade coverage at most campsites, which helps during hot Florida days. Many campers head to Sebastian Inlet State Park because you can walk to the beach and go fishing without driving anywhere. The bathrooms and shower buildings at Sebastian are kept clean and well-maintained. Vero Beach gets really hot in summer, so spring and fall camping trips work better for most people. Winter brings milder weather and fewer mosquitoes, making December through February quite pleasant for camping. Some campgrounds have sites that feel more private than others, with vegetation between spots. Trees cover many of the camping areas, giving good protection from the sun. Be ready for afternoon thunderstorms if you camp during summer months. Always check park websites before going since some areas close seasonally for maintenance. Different campgrounds around Vero Beach have their own draws - some face the water while others connect to hiking trails. The range of campgrounds means both new and experienced campers can find something that fits what they're looking for.
