Go to the Beach!

What’s a trip to the Space Coast without a trip to the beach! Most beach parking all along the Space Coast is spacious enough to accommodate an RV, however choosing a campground like Jetty Park puts you right in the action. Check out beach rental operations along the beach for all your umbrella, chair, surfboard and boogie board needs. Imagine spending a whole day in the surf without carrying a thing!

Check out the Lagoon

The Indian River Lagoon is the perfect place to take in some scenery, fish, and explore. Renting a kayak from your campground or one of the many kayak and paddleboard rental operations along the lagoon is a great way to experience the Space Coast! Exploring mangrove tunnels, seeing bioluminescence, and watching manatees bob around you is an experience you’ll never forget. It’s also a reason you may just extend your site reservation, and that’s OK lots of people do!
