GuideA primitive campground on the Ocean to Lake trail, it is well maintained by the FTA-Lox chapter. A large site capable of housing multiple tents and hammock setups, a firepit, 4 wood benches surrounding it and two poles for hanging backpacks. Plenty of firewood in the area. No water source on site, however there is a canal (Big Gopher) 0.2 miles west of the camp on the OTL that is a good source. As with any water in FL, watch for alligators and filter before drinking. I was able to get sporadic cell phone service while there. I stayed there during the dry season and out of hunting season. Check for both as the camping experience will be drastically different. We parked at lot N and hiked 4.3 miles to the camp.
GuideWas a part of a large organized group of campers staying in The Heron preserve. The section is designated “primitive” but it does have full single person male & female restrooms, as well as electricity and water. It has plenty of picnic tables, a path to the lake, and woods to explore via trails. There are some pretty interesting pieces of history leftover behind the camping field.
During the day, there is noise pollution due to jet skis on the water, and the gun range located across the path. However, at night (when it really matters) it is completely silent except for local wildlife. It’s a lovely place to wake up to in the morning.
Note: The perimeter of the area is lined with a sturdy fence that can technically be closed via gate. We always felt safe, and would definitely return. Great place for kids to repeat visit and build memories.
LegendHard to believe that this oasis is so close to major urban centers, but it's true. It boasts 15-miles of trails in more than 1,000 acres! You can bike, snorkel, paddle, run, picnic, rent cabins, primitive camp, and even get married. No bugs during the day. Some bike trails get flooded and are closed sometimes. The website gives the latest updates. It's quite easy to get to the park from I-95 or US-1. In October, some of the pavilions remained closed unfortunately. They have water spigots but no electricity. Lots of kayaks available as can be seen in the pictures and videos. Super ample parking. Youth programs. The only thing missing is water/electric tent sites!
GuideFirst of all, this was a great location to visit the lion country safari. We stayed in a tent site.
Pros: The facilities were well kept and nice enough for a campground. People were not too noisy. The lions were plenty noisy, and it was so cool to hear them in the morning!
Cons: There was no privacy whatsoever between sites and the sites were very close together. The lampposts were plentiful and bright which isn't so great when sleeping in a tent. Also, no fire rings.
RangerThis Palm Beach County campground and park offers you a lot of things to do. Miles of biking paths, fishing and paddling on Lake Osborne, some hiking trails, fitness pavilion and walking trail... all this with short and long term rv/tent camping spots ONLY 5 miles from the beach. The campground is well maintained, with paved sites for any size vehicle. Short term camping spots have the best views and most are situated on the lake. It is an older campground so the bathrooms are not state of the art but they are clean and functional. This location is also close to 1-95. Our video gives you more info and you can always go to our website to connect with our Facebook/instagram and YouTube platforms. www.travylcouple.com
LegendWe 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!
GuideThe only way to get to this campground is by boat. Reservations are very difficult to get because is a small campground. There are bathrooms with shower next to the campground. All sites are tent only sites and they are very close to each other. You can get two sites instead of one when available. There is some shade in the campground area but in the summer can get very hot. Please note that this is a very popular weekend boat hangout and is often full of visitors.
ScoutBecause of the rain, getting to and from the campsites by car may be challenging, and the area could be muddy. Luckily, the weather stayed nice during our visit, making it a really pleasant trip. A $200 deposit is also pending, subject to a damage inspection of the campsite.
