Most of Palm Bay’s RV parks are waterside, an advantage if you like to wake up to ocean views. Some of the closest campgrounds are less than three miles from downtown, like the Breezy Palms RV Park and the Camelot RV Park. Both are close to SCAT stations so it’s convenient to leave your Palm Bay camper rental here for the day and explore the city by bus. Pet-friendly Breezy Palms is close to the Turkey Creek Sanctuary and right on the Dixie Highway. The RV park offers a wide range of practical amenities including dump stations, full hookup sites, hot showers, picnic tables and laundry facilities. Swimming, kayaking, scuba diving, fishing and driftwood collecting are activities within 10 miles. Several Walmarts are within five miles while the nearest gas stations are less than a mile away. For snowbirds, the tastefully landscaped Camelot RV Park by the Indian River (where the resort maintains a private dock) offers full hookups, a heated outdoor pool, clean showers and bathrooms, excellent laundry facilities, large recreation halls, full-service kitchens, and senior park and recreation facilities. Nearby are the Indian River Lagoon and Sebastian Inlet, Turkey Creek Wildlife Sanctuary, and historic downtown Melbourne. The closest Walmart is six miles away and the nearest gas station is a mile away. Another option for the 55+ campers is Orbit RV Park, about seven miles south of Palm Bay, while an inland alternative is Land Yacht Harbor for those interested in touring the Melbourne area. Other RV parks close by for RV rentals in Palm Bay, FL are Palm Shores RV Park, where you’re closer to the NASA Space Center action, and pet-friendly Lucky Clover Mobile Home and RV across the Indian River and close to Atlantic beaches.

Dine on all the seafood and other ocean fares you desire, and walk if off on the concrete riverfront walkway of Castaway Point Park. You can also get your seafood to go and enjoy it in the park’s picnic pavilion after a quick swim or leisurely kayak ride. Visit one of the city’s well-loved tropical gardens to admire peculiar flowering plants while enjoying a relaxing stroll. Or tee off at an Arnold Palmer-designed golf course before letting the children loose to have fun on their own at Inspiration Park. You won’t get a better introduction to Palm Bay than with a visit to the Ted Moorhead Lagoon House, where you can browse exhibits recounting the history of the area, enjoy riverside views, and catch fish at the pier. The house also serves as the visitor center for those planning to drive the Indian River Lagoon National Scenic Byway using their travel trailer rental in Palm Bay, so it’s a great spot to pick up a map to learn where the beautiful stops are along the way.
