The Great Outdoors

There's much to do when you finally arrive and pick up your camper rental in Merritt Island. The sheer number of parks, beaches, recreation areas, forests, swamps, and eco-reserves in Florida is astonishing, and with so many to choose from, it's hard to pinpoint exactly where to go. Saint Sebastian River State Park is south of town on the mainland, with camping, hiking, horseback riding, birdwatching, fishing, swimming, and much more. When hiking through the pine forests and scenic meadows of wildflowers, you won’t be able to resist the urge to take a photo. River Lakes Conservation Area is a 40,000-acre reserve across the river from Merritt Island, with seasonal hunting, plenty of lakes and waterways to fish in, and a geocaching hub for explorers. Motorboating, canoeing, kayaking, bicycle riding, and hiking are optimal ways to get a feel for this incredible nature reserve that is just teeming with natural wildlife of all different varieties. There are a few campgrounds for you to choose from when you rent an RV and need a place to stay for the night.

RV Parks

Much like parks, forests, and beaches, there are too many campgrounds to possibly name. You can stay at Space Coast RV Resort with your Merritt Island RV rental and you'll have access to a variety of amenities. There is a pool for guests to cool off in, a beach, a clubhouse, and a library.

Exploring the City

It’s your lucky day… There is a wealth of wonderful attractions, restaurants, bars, and shops in Merritt Island, so you don’t have to spend all your time on the beaches while you rent an RV. The Historic Cocoa Village Playhouse oozes elegance and was one of the region’s first “talkie” (movies with sound) motion picture theaters. The theater is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its stunning aesthetics and classic architectural style. The now refurbished playhouse frequently puts on plays to foster a love for the theatrical arts in the community.

Everything as described on the RV was there. Friendly service and prompt delivery to our site at Daytona International Speedway. Great to work with and they did follow up during the weekend to make sure everything was going well. Will definitely rent from them again.
