Where to go
Canaveral National Seashore
Canaveral National Seashore showcases nearly 58,000 acres of coastal land, from lagoons and islands to the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean. It’s a 12-minute drive from Titusville to the entrance of the park, making it a convenient, must-see stop. Special-use permits are required for backcountry hiking, horseback riding, and backcountry camping, while only 25 hiking permits are issued each day on a first-come, first-served basis. The 14 backcountry campsites are reservable but can only be accessed by kayaks or flat motorized boats suitable for navigating shallow lagoons.
Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge
Within the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, the Kennedy Space Center offers an out-of-this-world look into space exploration. The Visitor Complex boasts numerous displays and exhibits, as well as two IMAX theaters (buy tickets ahead of time to avoid waiting in line). Reserving a Titusville campsite or yurt with picnic tables, firepits, and flush toilets means it’ll only be a 20-minute drive to the entrance. After learning about the starry skies, head out for a hike in the wildlife refuge.
Orlando
Only a 50-minute drive west of Titusville, Orlando delivers over 10 major theme parks, including the iconic Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort. Spend the day riding roller coasters and snacking on mini donuts before heading back to a full-service RV campground equipped with wifi or a waterfront cabin with a wood stove to unwind.
When to go
March, April, and May are the most popular times to visit Titusville, so trips between mid-September and early November mean quieter tourist attractions. Those months are also on the tail end of hurricane season, which runs from June until November, so the rain isn’t as fierce and the temperatures still reach 86°F. Since the weather is warm all year, outdoor activities are typically enjoyable regardless of the month, albeit often humid. In July and August, thunderstorms can be expected every day.
