So this was our very first trip, so our context is uncalibrated. This is a county park- so fairly typical level of site maintenance for county level facilities. The sites could use a little weed whacking action. The sites are very tight, but I was able to back in on the first try. Easy access to a nice Atlantic beach. Full hookups, picnic table and charcoal grill at the sites. There is also a fishing pier that comes with park admission. WiFi was 2-4 bars. Cell coverage was very weak. We definitely liked the park and hope to come back again. Our site was $36 per night. That included a $2 per night pet fee. That was based on non- county resident, summer rates.

Paid $42 for a night on the inlet side so we could watch a rocket launch. It's dry camping with just water hookup. They are very clear that you can only use onboard generators which we heard running most of the night (but just a quiet hum). We stayed on site 5 which is just 1 row away from the water front. It's pretty sloped so it took a bit of maneuvering to get our 42 ft 5th wheel to level.

There are quite a few crows and annoying birds hovering around and diving in the garbage but one of our neighbors took it upon herself to go clean up all the garbage and shoo away all the birds. #hero

We had several cruise ships pass by during the day as well as the SpaceX ships used to catch the rocket fairings at sea. Cool!

We saw dolphins playing in the water and several sea turtles.

We met most of our neighbors and they were all super friendly. A large group of neighbors were from Canada and they have been visiting annually for the past 30 or so years. They invited us over for dinner and fed us fresh fish (red drum) they had just caught. We love the RV community!

Close to beach awesome views very relaxing.

I suppose in consideration of the nightly rate, this is a good value. Close walk to the beach; Kennedy Space Center, Cocoa Beach are a short drive, but the camping sites are close together and not always easy to get into. Lots of littl' kids on bikes. In normal times, this CG would be more interesting with cruise ships coming and going. "Bath facilities" were a bit dodgy. Sewer hook-up was on the wrong side, and a stretch. More of a suburban atmosphere, not as friendly/personal as most.

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.

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.

Quietness 10 (even though we were inside for the most part-107* real feel-never heard any rowdiness or partying
Doggy Poop stations EVERYwhere
space between sites ranges from 4 to 9; depending on where you were

Friendliness of staff 100! Always so happy to see you when you drove thru the gate, always happy to answer questions if you stopped them as they were patrolling
Security 10; freq patrols

Some of the pedestals could use some TLC, ours had a loose 30A connection, switched over to 50A without issues. Noticed others with lids torn, etc. nothing too major. Our site was nice and roomy, although some can be tight, be sure to check the map. Clean campgrounds, Friendly staff.

Just a short walk to the beach.

Will return!

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.
