Typical Outdoor Resorts of America. Concrete wide level pads. Lots of permanent park models but still plenty of RV pads. Three swimming pools: one is on the ocean, one is on the Indian River, and one is in the middle of the park. Everything was just immaculate. From the fishing pier to the tennis courts the grounds were very well groomed. If you like 'resort style' RV parks this one certainly fits the bill. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very nice campground but busy. We had site 1 which faced the inlet and it was a good one. The campground used to be bigger but they have closed one loop, don’t know if this was because of hurricane damage or not. This State Park has a marina, restaurant, a number of fishing piers, beaches, birds (tons of Pelicans and Osbreys), picnic areas, two museums, boat docks and rentals. We rode our bike around and at night with all the lights it is beautiful. We camped for one night in May so it was not full and there were no host campers but they have two sites for them. Nice breeze from the ocean and the inlet and interesting watching all the people fishing. So many Pelicans and on the fishing pier we also were able to enjoy two Manatees swimming and coming up for air. Enjoyable campground! The beaches are a great place to surf, snorkel, skidoo and get some sun. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice campground on the inlet. Great fishing is available here. The pull thrus are huge, the waterfront sites are very short for the most part. All in all pretty good with one problem. BEES! The park is full of sea grape trees and the bees love them. We could not sit outside anytime during the day without being attacked by swarms of them. Several children were heard crying because they had been stung several times. Not sure if it's a seasonal thing but it pretty much ruined our stay here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Not to be considered a "Resort CG". Some sites are less than level. Very nice area and well kept CG. Park Rangers and Volunteers very helpful. Bugs are the worst thing that keeps you from enjoying this State Park. To get away from the bugs, pack a lunch, lounge and book and go to the tip of the island and set under the picnic area and enjoy the view of the river. The wind is very forceful and hard on your awning. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Rate paid was for Florida resident, Seniors. If you like fishing, boating, kayaking, surfing, beaching, swimming, cycling, etc. this park is for you. They even have two museums. On the negative side be prepared to do a lot of leveling. Walking around it looks like 4 to 7 inches adjustment was typical. The reports about bugs are very true. The no-see-ums, those dot-sized biting gnats, were everywhere. Because my wife was so badly bitten by them, we left early. On the way out I tried to dump but the dump site, to our disgust, immediately overflowed. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park was very clean. Our site had a great view of the river. The fishing was great. Everyone we met was friendly, staff and guests. I would come back again. Yes there was biting insects, but any where in Florida you have them. Just remember your bug spray. If you like fishing then this is the place. There is a bait house on the other side of the camp ground. So you have the jetty's to fish the beach or the inlet, they have a boat ramp but they are working on it right now. So if Mom and the children don't want to fish they can enjoy there day on the beach. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The campground was very well kept,clean and quiet. There are several areas for fishing with piers, jetties and more. Surfing, canoeing and kayaking can all be done here. Rental kayaks are available, snack bar type restaurant and bait store. Will go back. This park appears to be quieter than the nearby Lone Point campground which is operated by the county.

This park is all I could have hoped for. All sites are equipped with a picnic table and a fire ring. We had a very nice quiet site on the back side of the loop. Most sites are private with trees as a buffer. The bathrooms and showers were clean and well stocked. The employees were attentive and friendly. The fishing was very good. There is a 2-3 lane boat ramp which is great with a wash station. There is a fish cleaning station in the main parking lot. Plenty of places to walk and explore along with the fish pier under the Inlet Bridge. I feel like I could go on and on but, I will say this campground is all you could ever imagine from a Fl state campground. The best value for its price. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We love this campground. We have stayed at this campground for the last eight years. They have fourteen waterfront sites. They have no shade. Anything over thirty foot would have a hard time navigating these sites. Their pull thru sites are huge. You could easily put two forty foot rigs on one pull thru site. Some sites have some shade. Their parking lot is huge, so if you get there a little early, they will allow you to park in their parking lot until your site becomes available. Fishing is great. They have several fishing piers you can fish from. You can see manatees and dolphins playing in the water. No seeums are really bad here in the warmer weather. They do not spray for the no seeums nor mosquitos, so take your own spray and foggers. I have not been in any Florida State Parks where they sprayed for bugs. Camphosts do a great job in keeping the bathrooms and sites clean. There are two bath houses with washers and dryers. You are about fifteen miles from both Vero Beach and Sebastian. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Excellent park, well staffed (24 hr), well-kept/clean. Great location on River-inlet between Intra-Coastal Waterway and ocean - short walk to either. Long fishing pier, boat launch, long and interesting beaches. Dolphins-pelicans-storks-manatees. Large sites (easy for big rigs) with good visual screening. Would highly recommend. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is as poorly run & maintained as any in FL. Sites are never cleaned beyween stays,
including the fire rings which overflo with ash & trash. Most sites are not close to level. Bathrooms are cleaned by volunteers & are marginal at best. It looks like anything that does get done here is done by volunteers as the rangers ride around, two in a truck, "checking things out". During high use times the power supply gets down to 105 volts or less. Pets are now allowed & during our last stay the group next to us had THREE dogs, one of which barked most of the time. Not much enforcement of rules here even though the Park Police ride thru quite often. And, they do not spray for the skeeters or no-seeums as that "might disrupt the ecological balance" ???

The sand fleas were terrible. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
