Most campgrounds require reservations, especially during peak snowbird season from November through March. The proximity to major highways provides convenient access, with most parks situated near I-95 or the Florida Turnpike.

    Istokpoga Canal Boat Ramp And Campsite

    Very nice 👌

    First, you need a reservation. SFWMD is where you can get a reservation. You need to have an account. It's easy. The campground itself is very clean and well maintained. It's also well manicured. Potable water, bathrooms, no showers. Each site has a picnic table, a fire ring, and a stand-up grill. Some sites are fully shaded, and the others are half and half. I recommend ya'all check it out. It's free with your reservation. I say if ya'all don't like it, ya can leave.🤷‍♂️ I did that at another place, but not here. Enjoy.

    West Palm Beach-Lion Country Safari KOA

    Pros & cons

    The campground is pretty tight & the sites aren’t very attractive but being next to the safari is awesome! You can hear the lions loud & clear!! The staff was nice. Close to groceries and gas stations.

    KOA Campground Okeechobee

    Quiet campground

    Nice pools. Friendly staff. WiFi exclusively available at pool area. Plenty outdoor activities possible. Lake Okeechobee very nearby.

    Vero Beach Kamp

    Absolutely the worst choice

    Watch out for these predators — they will charge for anything they can, they won’t give refunds for early departures even when it’s family medical emergencies, the staff is wildly rude in the front office (you’d think at least one person who worked there wouldn’t be a complete horror show of a human, but no such luck). And they hose down their bathrooms which is just plain gross. The sites are too close together, and even in summer (low season) they’re too stupid to put any space between guests.

    If you can possibly stay anywhere else, do yourself a favor and keep away from this nightmare of a place.

    Pahokee Marina & Campground

    Stunning Views, But Needs Improvements

    This campground offers one of the best lakefront views in all of Florida—truly a hidden gem if you’re looking to camp right on the water. The sunsets over Lake Okeechobee are absolutely breathtaking and unlike anywhere else in the state.

    The campground does include a pool, which is a nice touch, but unfortunately the amenities are quite limited. The office is closed on Sundays, so plan ahead if you need assistance or have questions during your stay.

    The biggest downside was the condition of the restrooms—they were in very poor shape and had a strong, unpleasant odor. This definitely impacted the overall experience.

    With a little maintenance and more attention to guest services, this place could easily be a five-star destination. For now, come for the view, but manage your expectations for everything else.

    Pine Grove Campground — Jonathan Dickinson State Park

    Nice place but lack of shade

    The campground is amazing, but due to not having many trees we don’t have shade in the campsites. Just one another have trees, unfortunately. Coming in the summer was a bit tough staying here without an RV with air conditioning. Despite that, everything amazing! Bathrooms super clean, campsites in perfect conditions and so on. Another good thing is that it is close to the city with a huge Publix nearby.

    Fort Pierce-Port St. Lucie KOA

    Rude

    We didn’t stay here but I was trying to get a reservation for this winter. The website says you have to call them. It gives you no information so you have no choice. Then the lady that answered must have felt I was bothering her. She asked what length our Rv was and I told her and immediately she said no we have no spaces available! Put that on your website and you’ll avoid all of those pesky phone calls.

    Sebastian Inlet State Park Campground

    Beautiful place

    The inlet has friendly, helpful rangers, easy to access campsites, and is in a beautiful location. Great for fishing, surfing, boating, and going to the beach. It’s Florida though, so bring bug spray for the no-see-ums and mosquitoes.
