Sebastian Inlet State Park

We visited Sebastian Inlet State Park in May of 2009. Our site was #9 along the back stretch along the wooded area between the campground and the ocean. We picked this site from aerial views because it appeared to have some shade. When we arrived we were offered open sites on the Indian River but after looking at them decided to stay where we were. Site 9 and several others on that stretch did have a considerable amount of shade. Later we were thankful we stayed where we were. The campground was clean and well maintained as well as the restrooms. The middle restroom did however have some septic problems and the washing machines were out of order. The campground proximity to the river and ocean was great. We took our bikes and rode to the beach often. The beach and river there are beautiful and were not very crowded, however we were not their on a weekend. My husband and a friend put their boat in at a ramp just down from the campground- very convenient! We enjoyed fishing, swimming, bicycling and nature watching. We saw lots of porpoises, manatees and many birds. We had a couple storms come from the mainland/river side. The campers on the river side got the worst of it. We did not have any trouble with animals or bugs except some fire ants at the site. The campground hosts and rangers were all very helpful. The Happy Camper recommends this campground especially to anyone who loves the ocean, beach, boating and fishing. For tent campers we would recommend choosing a site away from the river as they offer some protection from storms.
