Two family campgrounds are located at Jonathan Dickinson State Park. Pine Grove Campground, with 90 sites, is located near the ranger station on the east side of the park.
The River Campground, with 52 sites, is 4 miles from the park entrance, near the Loxahatchee River. Both campgrounds have large, tiled restrooms with hot showers and are each set up with a washer and dryer.
All sites include water, electricity, table and grill; sewer hookup is included on all Pine Grove campsites as well.
A dump station is located at Pine Grove Campground, approximately 4 miles from the River Campground.
Well-behaved pets are welcome in both campgrounds. Maximum RV length is 40 feet for Pine Grove Campground and 36 feet for the River Campground.
A five-site campground is available for those wishing to camp with their horses. Horses must be tethered overnight to the tie-out posts provided or confined in sturdy portable pens. Portable electric fencing or hobbling is not permitted.
Eight miles of multiuse trails starting at the Eagles View area are available for horseback riding, hiking and off-road bicycling. Trail maps are available at the ranger station and the Kimbell Center.
Two backpack camps are available on segments of the Florida Trail. Maps of the trail are available at the ranger station.
One camp is 5 miles out along the trail, and the other is 9 miles out. A pitcher pump is located near each camp. Water must be treated. Pets are not permitted on this trail and/or at these camps. Collection of firewood is not permitted in Florida State Parks; be sure to pack a stove for cooking.
Overnight trips to these camps must begin by specified times of the day; reservations are not required but are suggested. Call the ranger station at 772-546-2771 for information and reservations.
Three group campsites accommodate 30 campers each. Youth groups (18 years or younger) can reserve a campsite. Youths must be chaperoned by at least one adult, 21 years of age or older, for each 10 youths. Pets are welcome and must be kept on a 6-foot leash.
Sites are equipped with tables, a fire circle and a composting toilet. There is no water in this area; the closest potable water is a mile away at the picnic area.

We had a short stay in a private lot (they are all private, I think). We stayed in 56, which was not good. It had a hot tub and hut, but the hot tub was just there for tadpoles to swim. It was unkept.
The resort itself was DEAD, which was kind of cool. It’s clearly off season, but the resort is gorgeous. Such great sites and the amenities look good. They were redoing the pool when we visited, but the adult pool was open. We would definitely come back again!
I loved the peace and quiet at this park. The Park rangers are amazing and you have a dog amount of space to yourself! 😊
I tried to get a reservation with this park and was told my dog would not be allowed because of his breed. The receptionist claimed a Pittbull had bitten a person. Please know that most dogs reflect their owners. You are not welcome if you have a Pitt or a mixed Pitt.
Pros:
The grounds are nice.
The bathrooms are clean.
The playgrounds are nice.
It's pretty quiet.
Easy to book.
A lot of available spots to pick from.
Water front is nice.
Full service.
Cons: It's a little pricey for what it is ($55+ a night depending on location). WiFi doesn't have useable connection. The spaces are very close together. No extra parking. Basically one vehicle & guest parking is not close to sites at all. No fire pits or grills at the sites. There are iguanas everywhere, the place is pretty much infested with them.
I have to start by saying that I haven't been here in a few years but I went there this week and I was amazed at the transformation. It is beautiful, clean and very welcoming. Each site has new outdoor furniture and is clean. These sites are just waiting for you to pull in. The staff was very nice and went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed. I highly recommend a stay here. The pool is crystal clear and welcoming. It's located near many attractions and shopping. Beautiful sunset viewing across the street at Vista View Park and easy highway access. You're going to love your stay at this KOA!
Jonathan Dickinson Pinegrove State Park is among the best parks I've ever visited. The bathrooms are spotless, the trails are extensive, and the people are incredibly friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place.
I was going to rent there, but it was so crowded that we would not be able to open our awnings and we were only allowed 1 car per spot. You have to pay $6.00 a day to park your car in a lot that is some distance away. This of course is in season, so I am sure that this was why is was the way it was. It was so crowded that I could not see how our 5th wheel would fit, not how we would be able to fit it in. I am so glad we went to visit before we were to stay 3 months there
Adverse weather conditions, specifically rainfall, may impede vehicular access to and from the adjacent campsites, resulting in potential challenges navigating muddy terrain. Fortunately, our visit remained unaffected by precipitation, ensuring a pleasant and pristine experience. Additionally, a $200 down deposit is temporarily pending, with clearance contingent upon the absence of any damages to the campsite.
If you want to see animals and be in the middle of wildlife this is good for you. We really liked it because of the lake view. The RV spot is right at the lake. Would recommend :)
Phone numbers and website lead no where, so I drove over to take a peek. There is a demolition companies sign at the entrance.
Location was great, spaces are too tight though. I could hardly get my RV and Car Trailer through the campground. Restrooms were great and staff were helpful.
Friends of Jonathan Dickinson State Park. What a beautiful park! Site 36 HC FHU 50 amp Paved roads and site Restroom path from site and very clean Beautiful trails, bike paths, and walking paths. Store and food truck down by river
Good experience, this was the first campground we ever visited with our RV but it was smooth. Price was okay (I guess), front desk lady was very friendly, slot was spacey and the pool seemed nice although we didn't use it (what a shame)
This is a wonderful park to go camping in. My family and I typically spend 2 weeks there every summer. The pine scrub forest makes for such an amazing adventure and perfect campsite experience. There are bicycle trails, canoeing/kayaking options, Hobe Sound beach nearby. I absolutely live this place.
Another State park to be in the memories.... amazing sites, very cozy, full hook ups available as well. Losts of shades, huge park, 2 miles from the spring. Well maintained. Great bathrooms. Super cool place to rest and be in the nature.
3 words.... The best park! Well located , paved sites, amazing showers, laundromat, trash can all love, cleaned and organized, lots os amenities in the T.Y park. Great security all day and night. Quiet and peaceful. Loved it.
Had a wonderful week at the naval station in Key West. It only cost $40 per night. All amenities were available.
This campground was awesome. We stopped here on our way to the Keys. We have a big Class A and had no reservation. We called and they offer a walk in availability. We got there right before 5:00 when they were about to close. There was a site for us! The staff was super friendly and helpful. We will come back when can explore their amenities. Highly recommend. Great for families.

CONS
Numerous pages of COVID liability release forms had to be signed and notarized at checkin
General Liability release forms had to be signed at checkin
Very tight roadways.
No turn around at end of roadway so plan accordingly.
Most larger trailer had the front of their trailer on the roadway edge
Had to park tow vehicle next to camper so limited outdoor space. We did not have sufficient space to deploy our awning
Two power failures in less than 12 hours. One was 5 hours long.
Site 351 unlevel
No picnic table at site 351. Sites with picnic table were hit or miss.
Insufficient supply of TP in park restrooms

Lots of construction workers staying in park who leave in their diesel trucks starting at 5am
Park WIFI 1 bar
Dont Miss in Belle Glade
Margaritas Restaurant
Banyan Tree Restaurant Nice
Winn-Dixie Grocery on Main Street
Lovely, well kept park with lots to do.! Quiet and clean with the nicest desk staff I have ever come across. Will definitely revisit.
It was a great time went fishing had fire s and explored nature the park office has everything.m
Small places, very expensive, closed Pool much earlier
The sunsets over the water are spectacular. Even though I’m a local, you never get tired of watching them. My site was private and (mostly) clean. Easy pull throughs available if you’re not a savvy backer-upper. The only downside was the loud music playing at the park next door, and I love music! But after a while, and especially late at night, you want to slow the merengue down a bit, neighboring park :) There may have been a festival of sorts going on at that time, and if you’re up for a party, you know where to find it! Good thing I had the quiet on the left, party on the right option 😂🎉🍾 not complaining. Just observing. I’m still young enough to appreciate a good gathering and celebration. But if it’s extreme solace and quiet you’re seeking, go somewhere more primitive, perhaps? This is a hustling bustling area come season and it’s jam-packed with things to do. But I highly recommend this park for my fellow travelers and locals !
No tent camping!
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????
Great park boating hugh. Love most spot try not to get spots along main canal. Air boats tend to be very loud and here they go out even during quiet time which woke us up every night. However they do offer tours and the tour is fantastic. So its up to you to decide if the amenities and activities weighed against the noise. Look up air boats they are everywhere but again they are fun.
There is no one in the office on the weekends. If you arrive late you have to do everything online. All the site numbers are signed online. We stayed for two nights and didn't see any administration. Park is very quiet and everyone keeps to themselves. We were in site 286 and it was very noisy next to the restaurant businesses.
