Wekiva Falls stands out as a unique RV Resort and Campground destination, nestled in the serene surroundings of Sorrento, Florida, conveniently located between the vibrant cities of Daytona Beach and Orlando. Before the arrival of Walt Disney in the 1970s, Orlando was a quiet town primarily focused on citrus and cattle farming. Since then, it has transformed into one of the most popular tourist destinations in the United States. The founders of Wekiva Falls strategically chose Sorrento for its proximity to attractions and local shops while ensuring a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Sorrento, Florida, is one of Central Florida's last tranquil havens, boasting mild temperatures year-round. Spanning over 100 acres, Wekiva Falls offers breathtaking views of nature in every direction. Guests can enjoy a stunning beach, meandering trails perfect for exploration, and a diverse array of wildlife that enhances the picturesque landscape.

14mi from Merritt Island · 1 site · RV · Indialantic, FL

Garden oasis, 5 minute walk to the Atlantic Ocean w/quiet driveway parking space for your sm-med size RV. Perfect for folks travelling to/from the Florida Keys or anyone needing a beach break on the East Coast of Central Florida. Our property, though small, is a heavily wooded, botanical dream totally geared for outdoor enjoyment & living. We have a greenhouse of tropical plants and function as a microfarm; just steps away from the ocean w/backyard chickens for fresh eggs, salad greens, herbs, fruits and vegetables grown year-round. You will find a fenced communal pool area, outdoor shower, bathroom, 2 covered porch areas, including outdoor kitchen space, minifridge, gas grill w/side burner, TV, Wi-Fi and hammock(s). This is shared space although we will always ensure your privacy and will do our best to stay out of your personal space throughout your stay. We are 420 friendly and don't mind well behaved pets as long as you assume all responsibility, are careful with them and clean up after yourselves. Quiet time 10pm-8am. The property is geared more toward adults as many of our plants are poisonous, sharp or have dangerous spines, especially if wandering off the main paths and walkways. Safety is a priority; because of this, we ask that you do not touch our plants and stay on the main paths and walkways when enjoying the property. The RV parking site has a 50 amp (30 amp adapter) RV power hook-up. There is also a 15-amp outlet (120V) at the site you can use as well. There is potable/city water hook-up, but no blackwater sewer services or blackwater dumping on the property. Your site has a dedicated shaded sitting area surrounded by bamboo and palm trees for your personal use secluded in the front yard. We're in a safe, residential neighborhood in a wonderful, unincorporated, beachside community, less than a mile to Walmart, Aldi, Walgreens, countless restaurants, bars, cafes, shops and the Indian River Lagoon. Our ocean access boardwalk does not offer public restrooms, parking or lifeguards, but there are several parks nearby that do. We are happy to share our bikes and help you locate any services we're unable to provide. Would love the opportunity to host you. Thank you for looking. Feel free to contact us for additional info.

Weekend Trip to Wekiva Falls RV Resort

The site was great, had a view of the lagoon, it was near the store and bathroom. My site was all brick paved which was a bonus, kept all my gear clean. I probably had the tiniest camper at the whole resort. The resort offered the guests many amenities. Everyone I met was very nice. The resort was not far from bicycle trails and paddling on the Wekiva river.

Weekend Trip to Wekiva Falls RV Resort

This is a great resort with plenty of activities. Our site was easy to set up and close to the facilities and pool. The staff planned lots of weekend activities. I was only transiting the area for a race so I couldn't take part but everything looked great.

Weekend Trip to Beach Island Retreat Indialantic FL

Review Hipcamp 24.-26.5. Lisa and Derek are the best hosts, super-nice, generous, flexible and friendly. We had to push our reservation to the next day on very short notice, and they graciously accommodated that. They greeted us like friends, and treated us to super fresh fish caught by Derek the same day, and delicious eggs laid by their beautiful backyard chickens. Their yard is an oasis, a true little paradise with lush plantings, a very nice pool and inviting patio area to relax in. My personal favorite features were the wonderful outdoor shower and the little secluded seating area in the bamboo grove by "our" driveway. And, of course, the chickens ! The location is great, too, it is literally a 5 minute walk down the street to the beautiful beach, restaurants, bars and stores- the area has a lot to offer, and Lisa and Derek were happy to share their inside knowledge. We highly recommend this super- cool hip camp retreat!

Weekend Trip to Trout lake

A beautiful place right on the water. The neighbors were very friendly and helped us out when we first got there. John was a great guy. We talked to him for at least 30 minutes. Everything worked out fine.
