Jetty Park Campground

First time here and in 2hrs I saw 2 cruise ships and 1 Submarine! Great place to watch a rocket launch from your "backyard". Inlet sites have water hookup only but plenty of sun for solar. Generators are allowed. Showers are in main campgrounds which they give you a gate code to get in and out. Beach access is a short walk away with very clean, white sand!

We stayed here the 2nd week of December 2022. Check in was a breeze and early. The only access to the park is through all of cruise port access traffic. The staff was very friendly and informative as to that day's launch time. Which was part of the check-in info. The jetty and beach was a short 5 minute walk away. There were coded gates to get back into the RV park. Plenty of restaurants in the area. We had minimal bugs to deal with.

Our site was probably the largest site there. The pad was just big enough for our RV but plenty of room for our truck to park. The downside, sort of, was that a lot of folks took the extra space to cut through to get to the restroom just behind us. Not a hugely big deal for us. Be sure to have plenty of drinking water hose as the spigots are shared and sometimes a distance away.

We enjoy cruising so seeing all of the ships going out was fun for us. We did see 2 SpaceX launches (one was at 2:30 am and woke us up) with the boosters returning just across the inlet.

If you want to be in that part of Florida, this is a great place to stay.

The park was quiet and friendly. We stayed over Christmas and the other campers were very festive. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. It is close to Kennedy Space Center and you can watch cruise ships launch. It seemed like a few campers may have parked their rigs and went on the cruise. The cost of our full hook-up concrete site was $73 per night after tax. The grass sites on the West side of the park had a ton more room but ours was fine. The WiFi was slow or non-existent probably due to a lot of use. Our T-Mobile only had 1-2 bars and was useless wit one bar, ok with 2. My work Verizon phone had 3-4 bars and worked great.

Stayed in a 31 ft Class C in space 349. Level concrete pad and full hookups with 30 & 50 amp service. Decent separation from sites on either side of us and huge tree on one side providing plenty of shade. Staff in the office/store is wonderful - funny, helpful and welcoming.

Barely got 1 1/2 bars on ATT and even though this site is directly across the street from the access point, the WiFi was pitiful. Kind of embarrassing to come here to see a rocket launch and then take a couple of minutes to upload a single photo to social media (upload a video? No chance unless you were here for a few days until it finally uploaded!) Also, be aware that most roads are unpaved and most drivers apparently don't know what a "One Way" arrow means. The combo provides plenty of entertainment - and plenty of dust! We paid $51/night plus tax,

DO NOT CAMP HERE! This place is just horrible. We were in the inlet right next to the water. Loud all the time! Between the cruise ships and the people in the area blasting music at all hours of the day and night it was just awful. We got bit up by ants as well. The only bathrooms for the area were for the whole park and were absolutely disgusting the entire time. Poop, dirty diapers and used tampons everywhere. There were no showers there so all inlet campers needed to walk to the other camping area to shower. The other camping area looked even worse. Everyone was packed in on top of each other. We alsomost checked out early. Staff was very rude when I asked them to ask people to turn down music after 10 pm and to remove the drunk homeless person hanging around d our site. Never again!

I must have missed it in the park literature that I reviewed prior to booking, but the shared water connection for site 104 is on the opposite side of the site from the electrical and sewer. We did not have a water hose long enough, so we went without a water hook up. Will not return. We camped at Jetty Park Campground in a Travel Trailer.

This was our first visit to Jetty Park and the campground. We have no regrets and will definitely return.

Jetty Park Campground is perfectly situated if you want beach and Kennedy Space Center access. Needless to say we did both. Our site is 30 amp full hookups but not all have full hookups. There is a section of the campground next to the jetty with amazing views but that section only has potable water; no electric or sewer. The restrooms were very clean throughout the campground and on the beach area. We did not use the bathhouse so I can’t comment on them.

Our site, does not have a pad, was not leveled at all. It took several attempts but we finally leveled. There were many site that were not leveled. Otherwise the sites are spacious enough. Some people had their trailer, truck, screened room, and a trailered boat in the site. Several reviews mention the lack of television. We had more than enough channels to chose from with over the air. We have T-Mobile and we were able to steam with no issues. We did not use their WiFi but it is available, can’t comment on it. You do get a code for the WiFi in your welcome package. You also get a code for access to the campground from the road the the gates when returning from the beach or park area.

The beach was an easy walk from our site; out the gate and over the dunes. The beach was beautiful, not over developed. We are use to the beaches in Miami with buildings all around. Being near Patrick Air Force Base there was some flyovers which was nice for the kids while we enjoyed the beach. There is an on duty lifeguard on the beach within Jetty Park’s property. There is a fairly large playground area near the jetty. Everything (campground, beach, playground, and jetty) is within easy walking distance. The kids were not tired enough from the beach all day and we visited the playground right after the beach. Also several other times throughout the evening. It is to be noted that at the time our our visit, Covid-19 pandemic restrictions still in effect, the camp store was not opened for in-person interaction (no complaints there). They did have everything available by placing a call to the store and you would pick it up outside the front door. The store keeper was very helpful when we called. He was kind enough to describe the magnets he had available to me since I wanted one as a souvenir. They charge the card on file for your items, open the door, hand you your items and you’re on your way.

Overall we are very happy with our stay in Jetty Park Campground. We will definitely be returning here. Hopefully there is a rocket launch next time. The campground is a prime viewing area for rocket launches. The only negative thing I have to mention is that people tend to walk through your campsite like it’s a free for all. That has nothing to do with the campground itself but the individuals.

If you’re looking for beach access with other points of interest nearby, Jetty Park Campground is it. We loved it and I’m sure you will too.

We didn't really use the amenities at the campground so I can't speak to that. We were excited to stay here because we got one of the sites backing up to the beach. Although we didn't realize there was a gate and a parking lot between us and the beach. But it was still just a 3 minute walk to the beach from our RV. So the kids were happy and we had a great time. Great restaurants just a few minutes away! We stayed here in late March and the weather was perfect, without a lot of people.
