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.

Best rental yet! Scott provided so much that all I needed were my clothes! He had all the dishes and linens as well as a rug, table and chairs to set up under the canopy (which most rentals don’t let you use!) in addition, he provided the Keurig coffee maker and coffee pods (both decaf and fully leaded). He even had a few local beers chilling in the fridge along with some water. There were flashlights, a Coleman grill for outdoor cooking, trash cans with bags, paper towels, napkins, etc. when I sat you only need your clothes, I mean it!

Dan was great to work with. The camper was just as advertised and exactly what we needed for our weekend camping trip with family. It was delivered clean and in excellent condition. The beds were comfy and it was well-stocked with essentials. Dan communicated well and made sure we were set for a great weekend. Would highly recommend renting from Dan!
