Sebastian River Inlet State Recreation Area/Florida







Sebastian River Inlet State Recreation/FLorida:
Rving in Florida is one of our favorite things to do...especially in the winter.  It gets us out of the NY winters and we work along the way.


Sebastian River Inlet State Recreation Areas is one of our favorite camping spots. It is a much desired location for fisherfolk, beach goers, and bird watchers as well.  

Campground

What is there to do???  Outside the park is a bike path/walking path that measures about 12 – 14 miles round trip from campsite to campsite.  The path also goes north some as well.  We did a daily bike ride (it was my first time on bike in many months...too many so I paid dearly the first day when I rode too far and had to ride back against the wind).  Beach combing, beach bathing, fishing (off the piers or from the shore or bring your boat), bird watching, dolphin watching, Ranger programs. They sometimes also have music out on the point (free, I believe).  Don't forget to relax.

 Cell phone reception is good. TV stations without satellite...are wanting (using only our antenna)...bring your dish, dvd's or Kindle!   Hubby and I like books on Kindle that it reads aloud to us while we sometimes do other things...multitasking.  The showers are good and the wonderful volunteers keep them clean for us.  (Volunteers... that is a job that I wouldn't want.)  The no-see-ums can be ferocious so bring a lot of bug juice of your choosing.  The Park also has a nice little museum that tells about the building of the Inlet.


You can select from campsites near the water or not.  Your rv will fit in most sites as they are pretty roomy.

We’ve thought about taking up fishing next year! Even though David doesn’t like fish, when he dined on fish (grouper, puffer, and one other) caught and cooked by Fisherman, Dick Champion, he liked it…not fishy tasting at all and FRESHLY caught. So I might be able to convert him. Also, he watched some experts filet a fish (no gutting, just slicing off layers) so this might be doable for us. I used to fish a lot with Dad until I turned into a girl (worms and all!). Walmart is about 15 miles away...so shop before you arrive.  Publix might be 6 or 7 miles away.




 



Long Pond Park Campground:


More Pelicans

North of the Sebastian park (guessing one – two miles is a nice little breakfast/lunch/dinner joint) Long Pond Café with reasonable prices.  The bait shop is located next door to the Cafe'.  David was desparate for pancakes so they had mix...the world's most expensive pancake mix for $5.25!!!  But in the end he got his pancakes.  Coincidentally, Long Pond Park Campground is right down the side road by the café. It is a county park, reasonably priced and you can stay for longer than two weeks. We did stay there once. Sights are wide open, closely spaced and they give you whatever spot they feel like giving you. Bathrooms are okay.
