Discover Merritt Island RV rentals for memorable road trips
Although not technically an island, Merritt Island is the next best thing. This coastal community is sandwiched between two rivers, directly across the Banana River from Cape Canaveral. Merritt Island is also the name for the peninsula that the town is situated on, which also coincidentally is not an island.

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.

The Revel owner gave me a thorough demo of every feature needed to drive and operate the van. This proved invaluable as I had no problem finding and operating all the needed controls. The van performed flawlessly on and off road. The diesel furnace was especially welcome on cold nights in the deep woods of the Ocala National Forest. I totally enjoyed the entire experience and the first class treatment by the owners Skip and Lisa! Totally fun and highly recommended!

Katherine helped make our camping trip so memorable! The RV was amazing. It was so nice to be able to come back to the campsite after a long day outdoors and be able to sit inside the RV and hang out! Katherine was great to deal with and always responded quickly to my questions. I brought 8 girls with me, and everyone was comfortable and enjoyed the comforts of having an RV, instead of cramming into a tent in freezing weather! Thank you, Katherine!

Liem, the sprinter van, was a great vehicle for our Florida vacation. Kayla went out of her way to accommodate our needs. All round excellent experience.
