This 26.45 acre campground is a well shaded and quiet hammock of pines, palms and foliage providing habitat to squirrels, birds, and tropical creatures.
The river offers shoreline fishing and a perfect view of space launches at Kennedy Space Center. Campers also enjoy access to a recreation hall with a small swimming pool, a fire ring, a mid-sized pavilion, two shuffleboard courts, and a horse shoe pit.
Offering a secluded oasis with easy access to urban amenities, Manatee Hammock is a perfect launch pad to Space Coast parks and attractions, and to East Central Florida.

It's a pretty nice although somewhat crowded campground. Great locations and good amenities.
The management however is pretty terrible. We showed up in our new fully outfited camper van, and were told we could not setup on a tent space if we plan to sleep in our camper van. No big deal we said there are plenty of RV spaces available, we'll just take an RV space. We were then told we could not Park in an RV space because we did not have a water hookup on our camper van. We were forced to buy a tent from the camp store which we set up on a tent space and slept in our van. We were told this policy was because homeless people were sleeping in their cars, but with a 28-day limit at $40 a night what homeless people are paying $1200 a month?
Our friends were coming to join us in their RV and we had reserved the space right behind ours so we could be next to each other. When they got there they were told they were being moved because they could fit a larger RV on the spot we had reserved. That spot ended up staying empty the entire weekend and we had the inconvenience of having to walk across the campground to hang out with our friends.
Clearly the need to maximize profit is more important than guest satisfaction.
Called asked about WiFi was told it works
Came in trying to get info about WiFi
Was told it’s spotty
2 days never got it ! Residents in park were really nice.
Park is quiet! Needs garbage cans though out park
We always go here to go camping. Plenty of RV and regular tent camping. There is a pool that has been redone in the past few years.
It's a good area to go walk around and go on the pier they have that's across from the launch pad.
Closest rv park to the space center. Decent park. Pleasant campers. No bad experience. Don't plan on whatever slot you reserve because they will change it when you show up based on your trailer size. Easy to park travel trailer. Not a lot of amenities but is on the water. Will continue to stay at as we visit Kennedy.
I’ll make this short and sweet. Horrible experience. Sewer drainage access was full and we couldn’t use it. Sites are impossible to get your camper leveled properly. No water pressure. Fill your fresh water tank and use your own pump. Spots are too crowded. Hard to park any larger sized camper. Only reason to stay here would be to see a launch. Thankfully our stay was only one night as we were just passing through.
