Start with the positives: This is a beautiful piece of property. Love the beautiful Indian River and dock. Our lot was a good location and size - lot 78. The fenced in dog park is huge and well maintained. The pool, pickle ball court and shuffle board court look great! Now the negatives: the #1 negative is the man that works here!!!! He is grumpy and rude! This seems like a simple fix to be but I guess Brevard County doesn’t read reviews. The signage and rules at this place are out of control yet our “neighbors” broke a lot of them so I guess they are not enforced. Also, my brother and I picked our spots by each other so we could camp together and without telling him the guy switched his spot because his rig was smaller and could use a smaller spot! I would understand that IF the place was sold out but it’s empty!!!!! He could have even given him a closer to spot to me but didn’t. This man has no customer service skills!!!! Side note: lots of mosquitoes- come prepared

It was nice the couple nights that we stayed there. You can see the launch pad at Kennedy space Center. We also saw a firework show. Nice dog park for dogs. Cons Lots are close together, and there is no grill, or fire pits

Really nice campground near the Banana River. Close to Kennedy Space Center and the Warbird Museum. During my stay was fairly full. Lots of shady campsites. Quiet nights. My one recommendation. Use bleach to clean showers as mold in corners. Restrooms could be cleaned more frequently. Found the floors to be wet and tracked in dirt throughout the day and sink counters to be all wet and toothpaste. I know this has to do with peoples own lack of care for others. I would recommend this campground.

This is a wonderful place to stay. Shade trees abound. The space between most of the sites are decent. Expect to have to level your rig. It is an older campground and the Laundry room etc shows its age. But all the laundry machines worked. The pool and pool area was clean and kept up.. This is a government owned and operated site and the office represents that. The person behind the glass was pleasant and helpful.

The campground itself isn't that bad, it's actually nice if you count the pool and dock/fishing area. Sites are shaded which is a plus but they are close together. Luckily when we went there was hardly anyone there so we had no neighbors. Would give it a higher rating if they didn't randomly close the pool for no reason. Been there a couple of times and they closed the pool stating there was a storm, but yet it was sunny on both occasions and it never even rained. Spoke with other campers who stated the same thing had happened to them on other occasions and they were equally as upset. Also be mindful sites don't have any grills or fire rings which was weird for a campground and if you need Wi-Fi it didn't work for us, but we were there really to enjoy the pool and fishing so we didn't mind. I would say it's also missing a playground, considering they close the pool so much, give the kids something else to do. Would not stay here again unless they addressed the pool being closed all the time for no apparent reason.

Very nice location and even though we missed two scheduled launches, it was really a nice stay. We had one neighborhood kitty that decided she was in love with my husband, and it was a very nice three day stay all around. We'll be back, for sure.

When we arrived we had been moved to a different site then the one we had booked 5 months prior. The location is great for viewing the rocket launches from Cape Canaveral. Park was well maintained as were the bathrooms.
