    Quiet Waters Park

    Worth a Visit

    My husband and I rented a campground flat in December. It was on the water, had a grill, electrcitiy, fire pit, tent, running water and was pet friendly. We brought our kayaks and played around. Had a lot of space to walk our dogs. It was really a great time!

    Paradise Island RV Resort

    Stuck Without Options!

    3 campers and two RVs crammed into overflow. NO full hookups as indicated over the phone. Showers NOT in the “bath house” adjacent to these crummy sites. The dumpsite is between the office and the fence. This requires you to back into position or drive down a narrow path and make 3 tight turns. Florida has NO dump sites at rest or service areas! What????

    West Palm Beach-Lion Country Safari KOA

    Great family campground

    This campground that sits just outside of the only drive through animal safari with over 1,000 different types of animals, is great for families to enjoy. This has all the amenities as a typical KOA campground except you get a bonus by hearing the Lions roar in the morning. The campground is gated during evening hours with the gate closing at 10:00 pm, so you will need to get a gate key card with a $20.00 deposit which will be refunded when you turn the key back at the end of your stay. The staff are very friendly and the campground is very clean. They also do a great job with abiding by the CDC guidelines for Covid-19. The Raccoons like to come out in the evening, so make sure you pick up you garbage at night. The rabbits were having fun playing in the primitive camping area every evening and early morning hours. They offer cabin and platform tent rentals for slightly more than a tent site. There are many seasonal campers from the North along with weekend campers trying to escape the everyday stress in their lives. We live 1 hour south of this campground but we will definitely be going back fir weekend trips.

    Real Lion Alarm Clock

    We tent camped here. Site small and sandy but location is the key to this KOA. Right next to Lion Country Safari. We are used to hearing birds and frogs when we camp, but here it is lions...and other noises I was not able to identify. Weather great to explore park in late Winter. Kids loved it and we will be back!

    Great Family Campsite

    Very nice KOA , clean well presented , friendly staff. The lions waking you up in the morning is really pretty cool. LOTS of local channels and good internet. It's pretty far from most everything but its really the only game in town. Very peaceful and quite. Discount tickets to Lion Country Safari which is next to campground.

Guide to Boca Raton

Glamping near Boca Raton, Florida offers several unique luxury camping options within South Florida's subtropical climate zone, where winter temperatures typically range from 60-75°F while summer months bring humidity and afternoon thunderstorms. The region's flat terrain sits just 13 feet above sea level, creating distinctive wetland ecosystems that influence the camping experience at several glamping destinations within a 30-minute drive.

What to do

Explore mountain biking trails: Oleta River State Park Campground features 15 miles of off-road bicycle trails across more than 1,000 acres of urban wilderness. A reviewer noted, "Hard to believe that this oasis is so close to major urban centers, but it's true... You can bike, snorkel, paddle, run, picnic, rent cabins, primitive camp, and even get married."

Experience wildlife wake-up calls: West Palm Beach-Lion Country Safari KOA visitors can wake to the sounds of exotic animals. "The lions waking you up in the morning is really pretty cool," writes one camper, while another mentions, "You can hear the lions loud & clear! The staff was nice. Close to groceries and gas stations."

Participate in social activities: Sunsport Gardens Family Naturist Resort offers unique social experiences beyond standard camping. "My favorite is their drum circles!" shares one guest. The naturist resort provides heated pool, sauna, hot tub, and fitness facilities with a social atmosphere.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Paradise Island RV Resort maintains well-kept amenities despite being an urban campground. "Amenities like restrooms and showers are clean, the pool is nice!" reports one visitor. Another noted, "The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and will do whatever they can to make you satisfied."

Convenient location: Proximity to urban centers makes several glamping options practical for weekend trips. One Paradise Island visitor appreciated that it was "near grocery store, and everything!" A different camper mentioned staying 14 months during COVID because "it was extremely convenient to all of the Fort Lauderdale area."

Spacious sites: Palm Beach County Park South Bay RV Campground provides generous camping spaces. "Spots are spacious!!!" reports one reviewer. "Great place to stay. Would stay here again. 2 machines in laundry. Boat dock on site. Full hookups."

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Summer camping brings significant mosquito activity at some locations. One Lion Country Safari KOA camper reported, "It was literally swarming with mosquitos. Pulled out 3 thermacells but the swarms were so bad they didn't even touch it."

Pricing variations: Lion Country Safari KOA rates run higher than many comparable facilities. "Camp site were $90 a night," mentioned one visitor. Another noted, "At $99/night it is expensive and by not having the facilities of a KOA Holiday and being so far away from the Highway as a KOA Journey I can't give it 5 stars."

Accommodation limitations: Verify campground capabilities before booking. Oleta River State Park offers cabins but limited RV access. One visitor noted, "Called to inquire pricing and was told they do not have RV sites." Another camper mentioned the park has "cabins and a shared bathroom... is like 55 bucks a night or so!!"

Tips for camping with families

Explore educational opportunities: Lion Country Safari KOA provides valuable wildlife learning experiences. "This campground that sits just outside of the only drive through animal safari with over 1,000 different types of animals, is great for families to enjoy," writes one camper who appreciated the unique setting.

Plan for weather fluctuations: Winter months offer more comfortable camping conditions. "Weather great to explore park in late Winter. Kids loved it and we will be back!" shared a tent camper at Lion Country Safari KOA who appreciated the mild temperatures.

Consider cabin options: Quiet Waters Park offers family-friendly glamping structures. "Good location in the middle of urban area, cabins to rent. We've used for daycamp without overnight, but you can do that if you want," notes one visitor who appreciated the versatility.

Tips from RVers

Gate access awareness: Some campgrounds restrict late-night entry. A Lion Country Safari KOA visitor noted, "The campground is gated during evening hours with the gate closing at 10:00 pm, so you will need to get a gate key card with a $20.00 deposit which will be refunded when you turn the key back."

Wildlife precautions: Take measures to secure food and trash. "The Raccoons like to come out in the evening, so make sure you pick up you garbage at night," advises a Lion Country Safari KOA reviewer who observed local wildlife habits.

Site selection strategy: Ask for specific site information when booking. At Paradise Island, one RVer reported challenges with "3 campers and two RVs crammed into overflow. NO full hookups as indicated over the phone," suggesting careful advance planning is necessary.
