Debra - My husband read about Jetty Park in Camping Life magazine. Camping Life said Jetty Park was the number one non-State Park/non-National Park campground, and after tent camping there this past spring I agree.

Campground Review

Jetty Park is located on the Atlantic Ocean, and it has a beautiful beach available as well as pier fishing off its 1,500-foot pier. When NASA launches Space Shuttles, Jetty Park provides an ideal site to watch blast off. Cruise ships dock in Cape Canaveral as well, and the ships coming and going provide entertainment for kids of all ages. Additionally, there are extensive bike paths (with bike rentals nearby) and a playground and volleyball court. There is a picnic pavilion, snack bar, and bait and tackle shop. The shower houses were immaculate and serviced each morning. The camp store is well stocked and not over-priced. Cocoa Beach is just a few minutes drive, and Ron Jon's world famous Surf Shop provides 24 hour a day shopping. Orlando is close enough for Universal Park or Disney World to be a day-trip excursion. My husband and I loved Jetty Park, and our 14-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son did too.
