Manatee Hammock Campground

We love back-country camping, boondocking or just plain living off the grid peace and quiet but when it comes to camping in Manatee Hammock the noises never end. But first, the positive. 1. Spacious and hammocked with trees. Full hookups 2. Easy to make reservations 3. Friendly, attentative staff 4. Friendly wildlife (squirrels) ... more

I had high expectations for Manatee Hammock based on the previous reviews. What we found was a cramped campground that felt more like a beat down RV park. Sites are cramped, have dirt pads with lots of long term campers. The best sites are #36-52, and they are just ok. On the upside, it's a full hookup campground and the locatio... more

RV sites have electric, water & sewer Restrooms/showers , laundry clean and well maintained.

There isn't much or any privacy between sites here, but everyone around us was so nice that we actually preferred it that way and socialized outside more than normal with other campers. We ... more

Dog park measures 150' x 180', with both open and shaded areas; they even provide poop bags! While there is no swimming in the Indian River Lagoon, there is a swimming pool next to the recr... more

We stayed in this campground last weekend and loved it! It was quiet, shady, cool, and right on the water. There is a dock to walk to, great for kayaking and fishing. However, not a "swimming" area. Large dog park right on the campground. Camp store on site with supplies we needed. Very close to beaches and kennedy space center. This w... more
