We stayed here for the first time for just a few nights. The campground has a great view for launches and to see the vehicle assembly building. It was kept up pretty well and did have full hookups which is very nice, but it had a few issues I did not like. They had no fire pits or grills and if you wanted to have a fire, it had to be 6" above the round in someone like a Solo. The site I picked they deemed it was too big for me and moved me to another site which put me on top of another camper. Since we were gone most of the time, it really did not effect us much, but if had been staying longer, it might have. From what I understand, they move reservations a lot. Other than that it was a nice campground and will most likely go back since it is centrally located around so many things.

For as many as 4 years that i have been coming to Manatee Hammock. This year as of October 18th 2025 . I was informed for some reason. Iwas told i cant go out and fish at night from the dock. I stayed this year earlier in March and had no problem at all fishing at night. So unhappy camper here. What or why i wonder that it cant be done. As of now ?

Drove here to experience a SpaceX launch just across the wide river (lagoon) to be able to "feel" the launch when the sound rumbles across the water. Walked around after getting settled. People camping and staff are friendly. Even helped me back in the rig. Dog park is big and fenced. The pier is brand new. The bathroom is clean but could be better. The view of the launch should be INCREDIBLE!!!!

Beautiful campground with lush landscapes and shady sites. Lots of butterflies. Beautiful view of the water with a fishing dock. There's also a small store offering rv essentials, cold drinks, firewood and ice cream. A large vending machine outside the store offers ice and filtered water. I'm giving them 3 stars because the bathrooms (men and women) were disgusting. Showers were spacious and had a bench and hooks, but the haven't been cleaned in a while and had mildew. Also, the bathrooms had no ventilation; which made you feel muggy and sweaty even before you started drying. Next time, I would leave the door ajar for ventilation. Shower water pressure was good and temperature was really hot. No cold water in the shower, in case you want to cool off. Our site had water, electricity and sewer, but no fire ring. We went in late July and the mosquitoes were brutal. Check-in is at 2 pm and check-out is 11 am. Late check-in is allowed. There's a pavilion available with a few picnic tables.

Beautiful spot. Our reserved campsite was changed when we arrived. Just made me laugh because multiple reviews said it would happen. Our original reserved spot stayed empty so not sure of the reasoning. There are local cats there. Dog park is large and right on the coast. Very pretty. Picked up some leftover dog waste in addition to our own pup's. Some people......eye roll. Bathrooms were pretty warm and sticky, but we did go in June. Laundry machines worked well. $2.50 in quarters to wash and $2.50 to dry.

We traveled from NJ 8n a 33ft Class A RV. This is the 2nd time staying at Manatee Hammock and we really like it. The staff keeps the park clean, pool is nice. We don't have a bad thing to say

Our experience started well on the phone with Helen who was very nice and helpful but when we arrived, Helen was gone for the day and we dealt with Patricia who said we did not have a reservation; however, she checked us in and sent us to our site. When we arrived at the site, it was occupied so we returned to the office and requested the site next to the one she originally sent us to. After much confusion, she denied our request and sent us to a site that was un-level and nothing but wet sand which caked onto our shoes requiring cleaning our shoes each time we went out of the camper. The entire park is dirt so if you like to maintain a clean camper, you may want to stay elsewhere. The park looks old and run down. The only positive was they had lots of vacancies even though we were told they had very few sites. There is a lot of trains passing by and it is near to an airport. I will not be visiting this rv park again.

the worst campground i have ever been to. The first ladies were nice, checked our car and gave us our parking lot. But the blonde haired "karen" refusee to let us extend our stay because in her words " the other ladies do not work here that often and shouldn't have allowed us to stay here in the first place". The bathrooms are DISGUSTING - you feel as if you're sleeping on the highway oh and at the airport too - the train will honk 3 times a night so have fun getting sleep. Not coming back ever again.

The only thing going for this campground is the view and the ability to watch launches. Upon arrival, you get 2 pages of rules, many of which don't seem to apply to everyone. If you arrive early, you are greeted with a scolding, and reminded that check in is at 2 p.m. However, once you are there you realize that there is really no reason because they do nothing to your campsite between guests. Our campsite was not groomed in any way. We noted that some guests were allowed to stay in their cars in the RV site in front of us. But just days before, they kicked out another camper who wanted to sleep in his car. Some campers were re-assigned to different sites because their set up did not meet their size requirements. Meanwhile, the campground was no where near full and it wouldn't have hurt a thing to let them be. In the same breath, we noted tiny campers in the big rig sections. Rules not consistently enforced. I personally saw a tent camper discharge their gray water thru a short garden hose into the drainage ditch, right in front of our campsite. I did report that, and they came out and never even checked that camper, they checked their neighbor instead. They continued to discharge gray water their entire stay. During the day and early evening, anyone is allowed to come into the campground unchecked. The neighboring trailer courts come through in their golf carts and cruise the streets. I reported that too, and was told, yea, they do that. Meanwhile, they have "security" at night making rounds. Their gate does not lock at night. Their laundry room is filthy. I did not use the showers or restroom. They were spending some time planting some flowers, but the campground itself needed mowed and trimmed badly. Campsites are tight, some nicely spaced, but most are not.

Nice campground with clean facilities and friendly staff. Right on the river so if you’re tent camping like me be prepared for a little condensation (bring a quick dry towel). Beautiful perfectly clear view of the launch pad so if there’s rockets going up you’re all set. The location itself is good not great (lots of traffic from US1) so you’re not really isolated but you kinda get used it, sorta like background noise. Close to drive or bike to various stores, some restaurants and of course Cape Canaveral / Titusville area. I would definitely stay again.

Great campground. Very clean and organized. Bathroom/showers were clean. Will definitely stay there again.

More cons than pros. Cons: Super small sites with people right against you. See pics. Dirty. Our site had overflowed septic so they don't clean the site. Young kid at registration was unfriendly and rude. Only walking trail was walking the roads. Can't see anything from your spot. All I see in all directions are close RV's. Noise! Train is just across the street and runs 3 or 4 times in the middle of the night blowing their horn. The train cars shake the ground and we are a little toward the middle of the campground. Also had a dog barking middle of the night and another guy had their car alarm go off. Pros: It is in Florida and warm in the winter. Rates are reasonable. Maybe 20% of the spots have more space and people seem to book them and live in them long term. I see someone who bought a custom number sign so pretty sure they are there year round. There are amenities, but to use them you have to go give a deposit at the front desk which is annoying. Not coming back. Least favorite place of the last 10. Sitting in the site sucks with no view or privacy.

Love this park. Small but Very clean. Has a fishing bridge and lots of close store for last minute shopping. Clean bathrooms! Our favorite place to go. Boon in advance.

Such a cute little spot. The water is beautiful! The campsites are a little small and some uneven. The park itself is really delightful. The dock and the dogs parks are really well maintained. Being on the water is great. It’s 13 min from NASA. Would def come back!

Yes, I would stay here again. + & - listed. Negative: first, the ants are horrible so bring something to help kill them. Second, they was no one in the office when we arrived early. No sign on the door to explain reason or I’ll be back at. Third, a little crowded with very large parties tent camping. There is a train that runs early and car noise by the front lots near the road. Positive: the grounds were well maintained and very pretty, large dog park, long dock, clean pool, adding a shuffleboard and pickle-ball court. We fished off the dock. They had a canoe/kayak launch ramp. We saw the rocket launch from the dock area. The store has ice and not really anything else. Great place to camp for the price!
