What campers say

Jonathan Dickinson State Park offers diverse natural landscapes—sand pine uplands, scrub and the Loxahatchee River—making it rewarding for hiking, mountain biking, paddling and boat trips to Trapper Nelson. Campsites and cabins range from primitive to sites with electrical and water hookups; some river sites may lack sewer service. Staff are generally friendly and facilities are kept clean. Expect well-maintained trails and scenic paddling with possible wildlife sightings. Practical notes: trail signage can be confusing, and the observation tower or rental concessions may be closed at times, so call ahead for boat or kayak availability.

This campground has just been renovated, and done very well. I'll get out the way the only downside for us, which is why it's a 4 rather than a 5 for me - there is no privacy. The vegetation hasn't yet grown back around the sites, though it has been planted, so if you don't like people being able to walk right by your site, it may not be for you, and there isn't any shade if it's hot (it wasn't while we were there). They do tell you this on reserveamerica.com so it's not a surprise, but for some it may not be your preference. Other than this, everything is great. The spots are level, very large, with picnic benches and fire rings. The bathhouses are in particularly good order (I've included a photo!) - very clean, spacious, warm. There are also couple of laundry machines, also in good order. There are trails and the location is good for the area. We would stay again. We camped in a 26' travel trailer.
