For Manatee Cove Campground: We absolutely love this park! Great location, nice sites, friendly people. It is clean and well kept. Lots of good sites. When we arrived, the camp host, John took my hubby around in a golf cart to let him choose which site he liked. We were in our 40' motorhome with a CRV in tow, so it was nice to pick where we felt was a good fit for our size. If we hadn't had made other arrangements, we would have stayed the whole winter! It's a first come, first serve park and we were lucky to be able to get in - thanks to the China virus. Loved being close to the commissary and beaches. Although our site was right next to the airport, the noise was mild compared to other AFB famcamps we've visited. We will definitiley be back. We arrived 29-Dec-2020 and stayed through mid January 2021. We camped at Manatee Cove Family Campground in a Motorhome. Definitely make time to watch a launch while you're there! Super cool! Be sure to visit the marina and outdoor bar area for happy hour and an amazing sunset!

For Manatee Cove Campground: The camp sites and base are very clean and neat however access to the base is a hassle. You have to use a commercial entrance that is limited to daylight hours. We have a class C and don’t tow a vehicle with us so whenever we explore we use the motor home as our means to transportation. We checked in a day ago and set off to explore today, upon our return we were not allowed on the base since it was past dusk. We ended up having to sleep in a overflow lot across from the base until sunlight. It was stated they didn’t want RVs coming in after dark and hitting anything when backing up? I think this would site work well if you towed a trailer, had a toad or didn’t mind the curfew.

For Manatee Cove Campground: We came before Thanksgiving and stayed through April. During Covid. We love, love it here. Weather just fine. Friendly people and hosts. Rules generally enforced. Air show while we were here plus several rocket launches easily watched without driving anywhere. Fabulous sunsets. Lots of wildlife, even Wally, the gater, over by the runway. Manatees, ospreys, bunnies. Good $ and want to come back. Only negative: awful mosquitoes and noseeums occasionally.

For Manatee Cove Campground: Didn't get a chance to stay at this Famcamp, but it must be great. In the winter time name should probably change from Patrick AFB Famcamp to Military Retiree Village. Can't blame anyone up north trying to come south to stay warm. Famcamp at a local AFB in our area is always full in the fall and winter months. From what we've seen this is a very clean park. Hope to stay later in the year when the temperatures change to a bit warmer, might have room then.

For Manatee Cove Campground: This is a great campground, clean grounds and friendly people and friendly host. Lots are not that tight but roads are narrow, there is a patio and grass area between them. The mosquitos are bad and lots of stickers in what they call grass. My biggest complaint is the office hours and limited mail pickup hours. Every where but here the office is staffed 6-7 days a week, host on weekends with mail pickup anytime...this is the the only reason I’m not giving a 5 star.

For Manatee Cove Campground: Spots on the Banana River awesome. Great RV park on base with full use of base amenities such as Gym, bowling alley, golf course, marina. Equipment checkout and beach across the street very convenient. You can also eat in the chow hall!!!! Great East Coast stop if heading to the Keys or if you want to visit Cape Canaveral.

For Manatee Cove Campground: All good. A little snug but we’ve been in tighter spots (Nellis AFB). Clean facilities. Friendly staff. If you plan to stay long term plan far enough out to get your spot. It is first come and one rep told us it was full for the foreseeable future. The other told us to come by and he will likely be able to give us several days which was all we needed. If not for the first guy blowing us off, we’d give it a solid 5.
