Kayak rentals and fishing opportunities draw campers to Savannas Recreational Park, a county-managed facility in Fort Pierce that provides direct access to Florida's marsh ecosystems. The campground operates seasonally from early May through late September, offering both primitive tent sites and full-hookup RV spots with electric, water, and sewer connections.
Most RV sites sit waterside, placing campers close to the park's resident wildlife. Steve B. notes that "several patrons appear to be snowbirds who are here for a month or more," creating a mix of short-term visitors and extended-stay guests. Alligators, turtles, and various bird species frequent the marshy areas, while bold squirrels approach campsites expecting handouts.
The tent camping area occupies an open grass field without shade trees, as Bonnie S. describes: "Tent area is a big open grass field, no shade trees." Water and electric access for tent campers comes from nearby pavilions rather than individual sites. Full-hookup sites include fire rings and picnic tables, with additional amenities encompassing hot showers, laundry facilities, and WiFi throughout the park.
Bike trails wind through the nature preserve, connecting to walking paths where visitors spot gators and turtles along the waterways. The on-site office maintains a lending library with books, DVDs, and CDs for borrowing. Staff assigns campsites rather than allowing self-selection, and reservations help secure preferred dates during the seasonal operating window.
