For Manatee Cove Campground: Camp sites are very close together and all are in direct sun except for maybe 4. The camp hosts are not friendly and if you are not in the “good ole boys” club they will harass you with every turn. The playground sits on the outside of the campground and the commissary and exchange are on the other side of the base as well as the 24 hour gate. Takes about 20 min to get through the base once you get in the gate. The common area is nice and offers a small library, cable TV, pool room, free ice(although don’t get caught taking free ice or the hosts harass you), video games, WiFi and a full kitchen. Two shower buildings and a dog run. The laundry is nice but hot without AC and offers 4 dryers and 5 washers(.75) per load.

For Manatee Cove Campground: Very nice campground. We enjoyed a gorgeous sunset over the Banana River every night of our stay. Park is clean, quiet & camp hosts were kind & professional. Easy to get to everything & loved the air activity of being on an AFB. Full hook-ups are ALWAYS nice! Expect to follow the rules. We motorcycle & bike so helmets are a must. It was a little bit confusing because we had our cycle in a small trailer that takes up less room than a car but had to off load cycle & take the trailer across base to the marina even though there were two other trailers at Chevron Park & car dollies in the Park. It was a hassle to drive into the marina with a 40' RV. There is plenty of space by the park so it would be really nice if they would make a spot for ALL trailers nearby. Trailer policy needs to be clarified - either good for all or good for none. Otherwise this was a wonderful place to camp. Even though my husband impressed everyone at the main gates with his driving skills I highly recommend you go to the truck gate which really isn't marked all that well & your GPS won't take you to it, call the campground & get instructions on where to come in - you'll be glad you did!

For Manatee Cove Campground: The campground is very clean and well laid out. Each site is on a concrete slab and has a colorful patio set. All hookups worked fine. There is a rec room and lots of books to choose from. A laundry room has 5 washers and 6 dryers that were all working. This is a popular snowbird retreat but since we were here in the off season, about 3/4's of the campground was empty. There was no wifi at the campsite. The mosquitos were ferocious and the grass needed cutting.

For Manatee Cove Campground: Manatee Cove is a great place for snowbirds, and the management knows it. The price reflects the location. I would highly recommend this place if it offered WIFI throughout and cable. The price is too high otherwise. Campers often requested the water sites, however now they want off, due to price, not paved and the wind. The laundry area is now too small to accommodate the number of snowbirds.

For Manatee Cove Campground: Review of Patrick AFB FamCamp, Melbourne, FL. Just opened 30+ new sites, concrete pads on those and they are pull thru. All sites now have full hookups. Older sites on the Banana River are gravel & grass and mostly back-in, which we loved just for the view. Only 5 washers & 5 dryers in the laundry room, 75 cents. Did not use the showers or restroom. At the marina we watched 5 manatees for an hour, and were told a 6 foot gator lives on the golf course. Great Tiki Bar at the marina and nice dining hall for breakfast. $30 night for sites on Banana River. Enter the commercial truck gate on A1A just south of the main entrance. We would definitely stay here again. October 2016.

For Manatee Cove Campground: A lovely park, and in the process of adding more full hookup sites. We paid $30 a night for a premium, full hook up, back in site on the river. 35' MH with tow car. Lots of mosquitoes and a thunderstorm every afternoon, to be expected in Florida. However, the GPS instructions took us to the main gate. RVs need to go on the commercial truck gate, located about 1/2 mile south of the main gate. Laundry room has 5 washers, 5 dryers. Did not use bath-house.

For Manatee Cove Campground: After reading other reviews I hesitated about coming here, but I am happy I did!
True, the tent area is a little crowded, but the location is great, and the clubhouse is first rate with air conditioning, a big tv and easy chairs to sit in. There is also a complete kitchen in the clubhouse. The roads are paved, and the Rv sites for the most part are nice with hookups at all of them.
I camp at BLM and national parks a lot so I might be easier to please.
I really can't find any serious faults with this campground!!
