Jetty Park Campground

Cape Canaveral, Florida

The Jetty Park Campground is located along the Atlantic Ocean and inside Port Canaveral. Well-maintained campground with beach access. Watch cruise ships arriving/departing and if you are lucky, a rocket launch from the Kennedy Space Center.

Key Takeaways:

  • Close to Kennedy Space Center
  • Several oceanside lots
  • Beautiful beaches (not dog friendly)
  • Spacious sites
  • Café in the park for breakfast
  • Large area to walk dogs, dog friendly

Our Stay:

If you are looking for an RV park close to the attractions of the Kennedy Space Center, the Jetty Park Campground is a great place to stay. Our lot was spacious and dry, even after the heavy rains. We noticed some sites were prone to flooding. This park is well maintained and inexpensive. There were several oceanside sites and all sites were a short walk to Jetty Park Beach and Pier on the Atlantic Ocean. The beach area was not dog friendly-darn. But is was a nice walking beach. You’ll see cruise ships coming and going from the park and if your timing is right, a rocket launch from nearby Kennedy Space center. We enjoyed breakfast at the adjacent cafe.

Chili & Cedars’ Review:   3.5 (out of 5) PAWS

We had some nice walks around this large park but it did not have an off-leash dog park. We were also disappointed to learn that dogs were not allowed on the Jetty Park Beach.
