Big park
This was your typical RV site, with spots right next to each other but very nice. The RV camping is in the very back of the park so it is a bit of a drive but right next to water.

Campgrounds near Delray Beach, Florida include a mix of RV resorts and county or state park campgrounds within a 30-mile radius of the city, ranging from full hookup urban RV parks to waterfront campsites on natural lakes.

Most campgrounds in the Delray Beach area remain open year-round due to Florida's mild winter climate, though advance reservations are strongly recommended during the peak winter season from January through March when northern visitors seek warmer conditions. Summer camping brings hot, humid weather with afternoon thunderstorms common from June through September. Many facilities offer full hookups with water, electric, and sewer connections to accommodate extended stays. Most campgrounds maintain paved or gravel sites with concrete patio pads. A camper noted, "We loved staying here, very nice and quiet. If you're looking for something that is a little different than just the typical RV park with a ton of other campers this is the place."
Waterfront campsites consistently receive positive feedback from visitors, particularly at John Prince Park Campground where lakeside spots provide scenic views and access for paddling and fishing. Several campgrounds feature limited shade, which campers should consider when planning summer visits. Site spacing varies significantly between facilities, with some offering generous separation while others position units close together. Bathroom and shower facilities are generally well-maintained at county and state parks. A recent review mentioned, "Loved this park, so much to do, clean all around, wonderful staff." Wildlife sightings, including iguanas and various bird species, add to the natural experience despite the urban setting of many campgrounds. Proximity to beaches, shopping, and restaurants makes the Delray Beach area practical for campers seeking convenience alongside outdoor recreation.

Cool place
This was a county park and has 88 sites. You are surrounded by water with lots of wildlife. There are several circles of sites which are very close together but very nice

No RVs, No Tent Setup, No Problem
Tucked away in the bustling suburbs of Deerfield Beach, Quiet Waters Park offers one of South Florida's more unusual camping experiences. This sprawling 427-acre Broward County park features sparkling lakes, tropical greenery and enough outdoor recreation to keep just about everyone entertained. But here's the twist: forget about bringing your RV or even pitching your own tent! Instead, the campground features 25 preassembled canvas tents and two traditional tepees, all situated on a scenic lakeside peninsula. With kayaking, fishing, mountain biking, cable wakeboarding and a seasonal water playground, there's certainly no shortage of ways to work up an appetite before gathering around the campfire.
The campground itself is relatively small and refreshingly uncomplicated. Each 10-by-10-foot canvas tent sits on an elevated wooden platform, helping keep campers off the damp Florida ground, while individual sites feature electricity, running water, picnic tables, charcoal grills and fire rings. The two tepees offer a fun alternative, particularly for families with adventurous youngsters. Restrooms with hot showers are conveniently located within the camping area, and there's even a sand volleyball court and horseshoe pit for a little friendly competition. While the grounds are attractive and the lakeside setting is lovely, don't expect luxury accommodations or complete seclusion. This is camping with a few creature comforts, not 'glamping' at the Ritz-Carlton!
There are a couple of important considerations before booking. First, you'll need to bring your own bedding and camping essentials, mosquitoes can be relentless during warmer months, and South Florida's humidity doesn't magically disappear just because you're sleeping under canvas. Secondly, there are absolutely no RV campsites, making this a destination exclusively for tent and tepee enthusiasts. Nevertheless, for families, first-time campers and anyone seeking an easy introduction to outdoor living, Quiet Waters offers a wonderfully different experience. Third, if you are thinking of booking one of the teepees as a novelty experience, you should, but be aware, there's a reason why Native Americans generally didn't use teepees in FL - there's very little ventilation, so at least during the summer months, you'll want to avoid these particular accommodations.
Insider's Tip: (1) If you want an absolute beautiful sunset view directly from inside the canvas tent you booked for the night or your nearby picnic table, then book one of the sites that sit on the northern edge of the small peninsula of campsites; (2) There's slightly more breeze that blows into your thick canvas tent if you are on the southern perimeter of the peninsula - I booked site #21 and experienced GREAT views of the water, had decent breezes (but still needed the aid of my electric jumbo fan); (3) If you are thinking about bringing your bike or hiking shoes, you absolutely should AND your swimming shorts as the cable skiing adventure is WELL WORTH IT - I wished I had known this was here before I arrived here otherwise I would have come prepared; and (4) The CG staff here are FIRST RATE, so when you are booking, be sure to follow their recommendations and advice - perhaps the biggest tip I could give you is to download the APP before you arrive to allow for a seamless gate entry experience, even after dark.
Happy Camping!

Great campground but missing the vendor
My family stayed at the park for a long weekend. Great park, but the vendor contract expired and a new one hasn’t been chosen. Because of this, canoe rentals, firewood, ice, etc. are not available in the park. Thankfully Publix is just up the road. We will be back, but not until the vendor situation is resolved.

Quiet and Simple
I returned back to St Lucie South based on the price, proximity to nearby resources (and I95), and because it was so peaceful during my previous stay. This visit was mostly the same. When I arrived, the host wasn't around. I parked my rig and waited for about 30 minutes before I left the site, and they got me checked in while I was out. With such a small campground, you can generally expect a quiet visit right on the water. That said, this visit included some less courteous neighbors who brought two big dogs across basically every site, barking at people trying to enjoy the peace. I don't blame the park for that one. Side note, if you visit in the summer, consider looking at the angle of the sites and picking one based on your rig. The afternoon sun is pretty brutal on the driver side of some spots (I think mostly 7 and 9).

St Lucie South
Quiet and peaceful
I enjoyed a 4-day stay at this campsite. I ended up staying longer than expected, so I used 3 different sites, and there are only about 10 to choose from.
The campground was quiet and pleasant my entire stay. I'd prefer to have a sewer hookup but the dump station is just on the way out. Facilities and dumpster just a minute walk away. Boat ramp and pavilions near the water. Plus, every site has a covered picnic table. I really enjoyed the simplicity of this place, but there isn't a ton to do unless you venture out, depending on your preferences.

Pine Grove Campground — Jonathan Dickinson State Park
Easy Access and Set-up
Overall a pleasant experience, especially for only my second trip in the RV. My lot was mostly clean, had plenty of space for my truck and 30ft trailer, and had everything I needed. I was expecting a more peaceful trip out in nature, but about 12 people were camping in the lot beside me with their dog off-leash, so there were some moments of frustration with noise and my dog, who is leashed as expected. The observation tower was closed and basically all concessions/tours were as well, but it was still nice to get on some trails.

Has everything/ near everything
Staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Two pools kept very clean. They pick up your trash at your site daily. Have packages/mail sent/pick up in office. Sites are close together with neighbor's rv 3ft from yours and hookups are on the wrong side. I had no problem setting up(routed water & sewer hose around the back of my rv and the electric i passed under it using one of my crutches to pull the cord from under the rv! I absolutely will return!

According to a camper, "This is a working bee farm, so bee aware if you have allergies. It is quiet, clean, and airy. You can't hear your neighbors. Just take a breath and relax.

Weather considerations: Summer camping brings significant heat, humidity, and insects. A visitor to Lion Country Safari KOA warned, "When we were pulling in we noticed a train of 7-8 RV's and trailers leaving. Didn't think much of it.

Pulled out 3 thermacells but the swarms were so bad they didn't even touch it."

Kids loved it and we will be back!"
