Vero Beach camping areas offer diverse accommodations throughout Florida's central Atlantic coast. Most RV parks near Vero Beach sit within a 20-minute drive of the beach, with several properties located along Highway 1. Winter campers should note that temperatures typically range from 55-75°F from December through February, while summer months can exceed 90°F with high humidity. The area experiences occasional afternoon thunderstorms during summer months, particularly July through September.
What to do
Beach access: Sites at Causeway Cove Marina and RV Park put you a short walk from water activities. "Across the street is a beautiful beach right on the Fort Pierce Inlet. Perfect for kids. Very shallow and no current. Beautiful clean blue water," notes Doug B. The facility also offers "boat and jet ski rentals available right on site."
Rocket launches: Several campgrounds provide viewing opportunities for Cape Canaveral rocket launches. From Vero Beach Kamp, campers can witness these events. "Watched a rocket launch from our campsite," reports Mack W. The proximity to the space center allows campers to incorporate launch viewing into their travel plans.
Water recreation: The intercoastal waterways near Fort Pierce offer fishing and boating opportunities. "If you're a boater, then this is for you," explains David S. about Causeway Cove. Many campgrounds provide marina facilities or direct water access for various watercraft activities.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention well-maintained bathrooms and common areas at Treasure Coast RV Park in Fort Pierce. "Very clean restroom and shower house. Numerous washers and dryers in laundry room. Nice pool area," writes Rick. The park maintains "nice size sites and while you're close to your neighbor there is a bit of a grass buffer."
Site configurations: Many parks offer concrete pads with various amenities. "The sites are roomy, easy to get in, level, and the entire park is manicured," explains Nancy S. about Treasure Coast RV Park. Level sites with concrete pads make setup easier for larger rigs.
Swimming options: Most Vero Beach area RV parks maintain community pools. At Ocean Breeze Resort, "the facilities are amazing. Beautiful large pool with a bar and very clean modern bathrooms and showers," according to Ransom J. Heated pools extend swimming seasons into winter months.
What you should know
Train proximity: Some campgrounds experience noise from nearby rail lines. At Ocean Breeze Resort, "the campsite is right by the train tracks to Miami, and it feels like the train is barreling through your van. This goes on all night, thanks to a few railroad crossings with plenty of honking," warns Wolfram B.
Reservation timing: Winter months see high occupancy rates with seasonal residents. "The park starts to thin out end of March," notes Rick about Treasure Coast. Summer months typically offer more availability and better rates.
Permanent resident mix: Several parks house a combination of transient and permanent residents. At Sunshine Travel RV Resort, "the configuration of the park in relation to the full time residents was odd. The campers were placed randomly in between the full time residents," explains Douglas T.
Road noise: Highway proximity affects some campgrounds. Space Coast RV Resort "was close to the Interstate so if you are looking for a place to stop for the night...I would suggest keep moving on," advises Ronald C.
Tips for camping with families
Pool amenities: Facilities with swimming pools provide entertainment options. "The heated pool was very nice for the kids," reports Sven L. about Space Coast RV Resort. Many parks include community activities centered around pool areas.
Beach proximity: Consider travel time to beaches when booking with children. Vero Beach Equestrian Club provides relatively easy access to nearby beaches compared to more inland locations, though specific travel times vary by traffic conditions.
Pet policies: Rules regarding dogs vary significantly between parks. "Aggressive breeds allowed without muzzles" concerns some guests at Vero Beach Kamp. One visitor reported: "Witnessed a pitbull get loose from its owner and attacked two small dogs the dogs had to go to the veterinarian hospital."
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Choose sites away from common areas for reduced noise. "We had a site that backed up to the nature preserve it was fabulous to look out our back window and look at nature and not another RV," shares chad N. about Silver Palms RV Resort.
Spacing considerations: Site dimensions affect comfort levels. "The sites are very tight and no dog park. They have some nice spots but they put me in the back like a sardine," notes Ronald C. about Space Coast RV Resort. Site width influences awning usage and outdoor living space.
Utility connections: RV sites typically offer multiple electrical options. Treasure Coast RV Park provides "water, sewer, 50-30-20 amp electric, and cable TV," according to Ari A. Connection placement and accessibility vary by campground.
