Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Delray Beach, FL

Del Raton RV Park's pet-friendly policy allows for dogs at their compact campground located on Federal Highway in Delray Beach. The site features a small fenced-in dog area where pets can exercise off-leash, while most areas require pets to be leashed. John Prince Park Campground also welcomes pets at their waterfront campsites, offering plenty of grass areas for walking dogs along Lake Osborne. Both campgrounds provide full hookup sites with concrete patios suitable for RVs of various sizes, though Del Raton's spaces are notably smaller and closer together. Tent campers with pets will find John Prince Park more accommodating with its spacious lakefront tent sites that include electric and water hookups. Most guests report the grounds at both locations are clean and well-maintained, making them suitable for pets. The small airport adjacent to John Prince Park creates some noise but doesn't typically disturb dogs.

Miles of biking and walking paths around John Prince Park provide excellent options for exercising dogs, with the lake access points offering opportunities for water-loving pets to cool off. Quiet Waters Park offers additional pet-friendly camping options with tent sites and unique glamping accommodations including yurts. Located within urban areas, these campgrounds provide convenient access to veterinary services and pet supply stores. Aztec RV Resort restricts camping to Class A motorhomes only but maintains a luxury pet-friendly environment with spacious sites. During summer months, early morning or evening walks are recommended due to hot pavement that can burn dogs' paws. The Palm Beach County area experiences significant iguana populations, so pet owners should monitor dogs to prevent chasing or encounters with these large reptiles. Multiple parks enforce quiet hours from 10 PM to 6 AM, with expectations that barking dogs will be properly managed.

    Del Raton RV Park

    Clean, kind, beach vibes

    I lived in So. FL for 5 yrs and probably passed the RV park 1000 times. I love that this is about a mile from my favorite beach spot, A1A, and. Few miles from all things Delray Beach! The owners are very kind, answer all your questions etc. the facilities are clean, the guests are nice and quiet. Now that i live more north, We hope to be back again and make this an annual adventure!

    Pine Grove Campground — Jonathan Dickinson State Park

    Great for tents & RVs w fun surprises

    Really had a fantastic time at this campground, I'm typically a tent camper and had great facilities. The cost of camping in Florida isn't cheap though this one actually had the value in it given that you could also rent boats and paddle up river alongside manatees to the wild man encampment. Amazing hiking nearby, the tower to check out, even a little mini museum with reptiles. I enjoyed it so much I would go back.

    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!

    Encore Breezy Hill

    Forced to cancel

    This park was rated as pet friendly in the TT system, turns out it isn't.  Now with under 2 weeks to go, we need to make new reservations and may have to be over an hour out from where we need to be.

    Phone calls galore trying to find a new site.

    Sawgrass Recreation Park

    This place saved my life!

    Sawgrass Recreation area primary businesses are airboat tours and petting zoo, however they have a small primitive campsite at the back as well. I was trying to ride my bicycle from Ft. Laudardale to South Bay, but the head wind was so strong that I was moving at a snail's pace. Luckily, this place is conviniently located just off the state route 27, an oasis of civilization on a 30 mile strech of nothingness. the camground is only open during dry season, which is late winter.

    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????

    Davie / Fort Lauderdale KOA

    Very unkind management

    I am writing this review to shield anyone who is camping & going through a difficult time in life, because no one deserves to be treated as we were. Unfortunately, I would never stay at this KOA ever again. It makes me very sad & upset to know that such unkind, greedy people run this campground- one of the few KOA’s in all of Florida. My family and I are going through a very rough time due to illness. We come here to be at a family wedding, to forget, to be happy & comfortable. We are big travelers all across the continental United States, and have stayed at nearly every KOA in the entire country. This is the first and hopefully last time I have ever had to write a review to protect people from coming to a campground. If you HAVE to stay here do not stay in spot 89. The KOA workers walk dogs they cannot control, that bark VERY loudly at 8AM. And all throughout the day, dogs walking past and barking. Absolute torture. We were charged for having 2 cats, $10. Never been charged for two cats that don’t leave the camper but, okay. When we got to the site, we discovered that we paid $120 for a spot with an enormous pile of dirt & construction on it. Not being dramatic. But honestly, I really didn’t care about that much. What bothered me was how they treated people. I pride myself on always being kind to people because you don’t know what anyone is going through. What bothered me was a man with facial hair on a golf cart telling me (who owns the camper & paid for the spot) to leave immediately because my sisters rental car was “not registered at the office”. He saw us come in and drove all the way back to the office to look at our registered cars. How bored and and angry at life do you have to be to care about that? Just wow. He tried to charge us money to register my pregnant sister coming to visit us for 2 hours because we “didn’t register her rental car at the office?” I have never experienced anything like that. Turns out there was one nice woman who is shorter and has dark brown hair in a ponytail, she was kind enough to tell us the TRUTH that we just had to park it in a designated spot. LOL. Why wouldn’t you tell someone that in the first place? Because you can get money out of them the first way. How cruel and greedy is that? I will never associate myself with this campground ever again. The nasty looks we received from staff during our stay was laughable. I look forward to sending a very accurate depiction of our lovely stay at the Davie KOA to the KOA Owners Association Board of Directors. I hope you desperately unhappy people can heal yourselves and find true happiness & love in this life.

    Pine Grove Campground — Jonathan Dickinson State Park

    So much to do in beautiful state park with river near beach

    Jonathon Dickinson SP, Jupiter Florida Dickinson SP Large park with miles of paved and off road trails for biking and hiking. Lots to do, horse back riding, boat tours, discovery center, bird watching, off road bike challenge course. We've seen otter, tortoise, birds, eagles so far.Nice sites in two campgrounds. We're in River CG, more shade, a few paved sites but most are dirt/mud. The Pine Grove CG close to entrance, more spacious, not much shade, paved and nice gravel sites. If you get the chance take the river tour. We went on the one that goes to Trapper Nelson's place where you get a ranger guided walk. Totally worth the$25 fee.
