The best camping near Canaveral National Seashore guide

Overview

About

Soak up some sun the natural way on the largest untouched beach along Florida's east coast. With 24 miles of white-sand beaches, this national seashore is a haven for nature lovers.

Space shuttles may be the best-known attraction of the Canaveral area. But when it comes to unique coastal habitats, this shoreline is unrivaled. Sea turtles, manatees, and other endangered species call this pristine park home. Fortunately, it remains largely undeveloped, save for a boardwalk across the dunes. While there are restrooms (always a plus), keep in mind you have to pack in your own food and drinking water.

Coming from the south entrance near Titusville, you see more than just wildlife bathing au naturel. The place hosts a popular nude beach. Drive a bit further, and you can pull into one of 13 spacious parking lots. The northern entrance is decidedly quieter. Plus, you have easier access to the Castle Windy and Eldora Hammock trails.

The calm waters are a kayaker's paradise. Shallow inlets are the best places to launch your canoe, kayak, or stand-up paddleboard. For some onshore fun, comb the beach for seashells and sea glass. Or, take the short hike to Turtle Mound, a historic Native American shell mound.

Plan your visit between October and April to see huge flocks of migrating birds. If you're traveling in June or July, you can even embark on a turtle nesting tour. Just remember to arm yourself with bug spray—It's not called Mosquito Lagoon for nothing! Rustic campsites are located on boat-accessible lagoon islands, though you need a permit to set up camp.

Whether you're wandering through dense hammocks or capturing photos of rare shorebirds, this national seashore truly has something for everyone.
