Try Jetty Park. It is in port canaveral on the inlet and access to the beach.
It's about 2 miles north of cocoa beach. I have been camping there for years You can book online ------------- Gregm 2014 171 2015 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner |

gregm: can you give me a small oversight on the campground; and specific lots/areas which might be better than others. Thanks, hogone ------------- Jon & Pam 2013 RP177 2010 F150 2017 HD Streetglide 2009 HD Lowrider CHEESEHEAD |

I usually try to get site 222 or near it. I recommend staying on the outer loop to the east of the camp store. Most of the sites in the middle don't have trees.
There is a fishing pier on the inlet and some decent restaurants nearby if you want to eat out. The Grill is where my wife likes to go for dinner or lunch. ------------- Gregm 2014 171 2015 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner |

Hogone,
not sure how close you want to be to Cocoa Beach but there is a nice county park east of Orlando. Moss Park is it's name. There are no pads but all the sights have water & electric. There is a dump station and the bath houses are clean and new with 2 lakes. If you stay there you are about 45 miles from CC Beach. It is also cheaper and quieter. ------------- Gregm 2014 171 2015 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner |

We don't camp with our cat but I never read the no alcohol part. I noticed it I just did not read it.
At Jetty Park you can have both except if you rented one of the cabins dogs are not allowed in them, but I think you don't need to worry about that. When are you coming down? Bike week is coming soon.  ------------- Gregm 2014 171 2015 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner |

well I was hoping for early march, but nothing is available (I wanted at least 5 days). they said things are much more open/available the latter part of march and april. btw, been to cocoa beach a bunch, mom lives there. just never camped, and I want to bring the pod down this time. I do know where jetty park is, but never have been inside. hogone ------------- Jon & Pam 2013 RP177 2010 F150 2017 HD Streetglide 2009 HD Lowrider CHEESEHEAD |

| I stayed at the Military Fam Camp at Patrick. It was awesome. I also liked the beaches down there as well. Cocoa Beach was one of our most favorite vacations, in the history of vacations. lol |

Military RV camps are for: "
Active, National Guard, Reservists, Retired, 100% DAV. DoD Civilians." (from Desert Eagle RV Park on Nellis AFB). Ex military is not accurate. Someone who only served a 3 or 4 year enlistment and then got out would not be eligible. Nor would someone (truly ex) who was kicked out for bad conduct. Active duty has priority. I am a retiree. Someone who did not retire, but was a 100% disabled Veteran is eligible. Civilians working for the DoD are eligible. None of the US Military Campgrounds would be a suitable location for a Pod gathering unless it were a gathering of eligible people who own R-Pods. ------------- StephenH Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7712 - ouR escaPOD mods Former RPod 179 Current Cherokee Grey Wolf 24 JS |

| I would like to try cocoa beach too but I'm not sure if we could go there anytime soon. It's too far from home I always wanted far adventure with fellow rpoders like me. |
