We bought this land in 2018. It took a year to build the bridge and gate, blaze the trail, clearing brush, and build our 2 story off grid solar powered treehouse! Since then we have built several sites and amenities. Wild citrus, beautiful pines and palms, all kinds of wildlife, hiking, dirt biking, hunting, target practice, fire pit, and a place to pitch a tent near our tree house! We're 2 minutes off 95 exit 208 (Port St. John), between SR50 and 520.Only a 5 minute drive to the intercoastal waterway across from Cape Canaveral (you can feel the earth shake and hear the rockets take off!) where you can drop a boat in several places. 15 minutes from Cocoa Beach, Ron Jon surf shop, Kennedy Space Center, and much more!2 minute drive to the nearest gas station which has some camping supplies, and hot food as well as Jabbers which has a full bar, restaurant, $2 Land Shark bottles of beer with lime, free wifi, and clean bathrooms!

Camp Wild Fern

4 sites · RVs, Tents6 acres · Mims, Brevard
Hey guys! As avid campers and adventure seekers ourselves, we know how important safe (and cost effective) space for a night or two is. That’s why we decided to offer a corner of our own rural paradise - amongst the mature oaks, blooming magnolias and palms. We have just under 7 acres with plenty of yard to share. It’s pretty basic space without a lot of amenities (yet), but we know you’d love it here. Our pricing reflects our humble start and we invite you to park your RV, pop open your tent and make yourself at home. A few things you can expect… ~Wherever you decide to set up camp, we will provide a picnic table, trash can and fire pit with wood. ~We are super pet friendly so bring your furry family members and we will ensure they’re safe and comfortable as well. ~There is access to water from the main house. ~ Electricity can be provided depending on how close you set up to the house. WiFi as well. ~ We do have a chicken coop so you can expect to hear them throughout the day. ~ We are on a dead end road in a rural residential area. Super quiet! ~ Pit potty in a super cute Outhouse. ~ If you stay during the month of March, you will adore our lightening bugs! ~ Tons of mature trees so bring your hammocks. ~ We are on site and available to you when needed. Forgot bug spray or need a band-aid? We got you! Need a board game, yard game or puzzle? We got those too! ~ Want total privacy? That’s ok too! Watch us grow and come back as our offerings grow too. This is our start, but it’s going to be great!

Camping near Melbourne guide

There’s much to do and see throughout Brevard County, but camping in Melbourne is its own attraction. The coastal city provides direct access to some of Florida’s most notable beaches, parks, and cultural hubs. Campers will love kayaking around the Indian River, as well as at the Brevard Zoo. Meanwhile, space enthusiasts are sure to show enthusiasm for Cape Canaveral and its galactic activities. Visit a campsite in Melbourne, and you can spend your mornings soaking up the sun at Wickham Park—and your evenings soaking up the culture at the Eau Gallie Arts District. 

Where to Go

River Lakes Conservation Area

Rent a canoe to paddle over the river and through the wetlands. The River Lakes Conservation Area welcomes boaters, hikers, and paddlers, not to mention all kinds of local wildlife. It’s a prime spot to spot storks, cranes, and river otters, so keep your eyes up and out. Campers can check-in to a nearby campground with RV hookups or get even closer to nature at a backcountry campsite.

Up The Space Coast

Head across the Indian River, and you’ll encounter a range of campgrounds that wind up Florida’s Space Coast. North of Melbourne, you can savor a leisurely beach day and spend the night at a Cocoa Beach campsite. Or, take the coast’s alias to heart and pay a visit to Cape Canaveral. All along the water, you’re guaranteed some sun—and a few waves. 

Sebastian Inlet State Park

Surf’s up. Once you cross the Indian River, you can alternatively drive south of Melbourne. You’ll quickly reach Sebastian Inlet State Park: a surfer’s paradise. For campers who’d rather keep their feet in the sand, the park is a treasure trove for finding seashells and sea turtles. Due to the park’s location, it stretches along both the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River. Pitch your tent—or park your RV—according to your desired view.

When to Go

The Sunshine State upholds its name year-round, so a Melbourne campsite promises warm weather regardless of the season. However, campers may find May to September less-than-ideal for sleeping outside. Summer is peak hurricane season, but even if the winds remain calm, the bugs—and the humidity—make no promises. Plan your getaway for the cooler months, when you’ll bask in a less extreme version of Florida’s trademark sun.

Hipcamp is created with ❤️ and hope for our future.
