Best RV Parks & Resorts near Vero Beach, FL

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!

There are limited options for affordable camping in this part of Florida, so plan to book your stay here a while in advance as it fills up. We are lucky to snag two nights here on our way to Miami. Lots of hiking options and some really nice views. The RV park has full hookups and is almost completely filled with older adult campers high end big rigs. Clean facilities and level sites though.

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.

OK, the many RV parking lots claiming to be a ‘resort’ IMHO don’t ever live up to the hype – they simply set the expectations at an all-time high and then fail to deliver, but Treasure Coast RV Resort, perfectly situated between Vero Beach and Port St. Lucie (excellent location puts it just 1 mile to both 95 and FL Turnpike) delivers in spades. 

To begin with, despite the first impressions you might have of the place given the war-torn side street you’ll have to take north to access this location and the obfuscated sign that likely will have you drive right by the entrance, once you do make your way here, you’ll be impressed as soon as you turn in. The welcome reception / manager’s office feels like a luxury resort welcoming lounge (minus being greeted by Mr. Rourke and Tatoo serving up a tropical drink with an umbrella in it). Once you get checked in, the front desk staff will ensure you are properly deluged with all sorts of local information as well as vitals on the campground itself. 

The pads you’ll be parking on are newly poured concrete and the whole place is landscaped to full effect. Behind the welcome reception is the community pool (and hot jacuzzi – bonus points!), which is pretty amazing (and also feels brand spanking new). Beyond this, the entire grounds are surrounded by a good size pond (where I believe swimming in is frowned upon). All the traditional hook-ups are offered (30/50 electrical amps, water, sewage, etc.) and amenities such as picnic tables and community grills as well as free WiFi and cable. There’s a clubhouse that has ping pong, a billiards table and a few card playing tables. The restroom / shower facilities are incredibly clean and overall excellent and there’s also a coin-operated laundr-O-mat. 

One of the best features of the property is that it is entirely gated and there’s a security gate where you’ll have to swipe to gain access. While there’s not much in the way of foliage around each of the sites (you’ll have complete visibility to your neighbors – OK, in reality, to the whole neighborhood) but aside from this, you’ll find plenty of space between you and the other RV’s here. 

Insider’s tips? While there’s a ton to see and explore within the surrounding area, I highly recommend exploring Okeechobee, Hutchinson and Jupiter Islands, Jensen Beach and for excellent kayaking, head on over to Sewall’s Point, but get there early before the crowds make it difficult to get your flotation device in the water. 

Happy Camping!

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.

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.

We 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.---

The Savanna’s campground is just a few miles up the road from our home and a great place for a quick last minute weekend outing. The park is beautiful. There are trails to bike or walk along the nature preserve. The sites have full hook ups a fire pit and a picnic table on them. I recommend this as a great weekend getaway.

Site 36. Very long and roomy. 38 ft class A had no problems. Roads wide with no trees blocking. Full hook ups, paved, but no shade. Restrooms are spotless, and have laundry. Plenty of walking and biking trails. Going to the river campground, you pass the railroad. There are plenty of bikers there for the trails.
