Best Campgrounds near Jensen Beach, FL

380 Reviews

Jensen Beach on Florida's east coast features several established campgrounds with varying accommodation options including tent camping, RV sites, and cabin rentals. Pine Grove Campground at Jonathan Dickinson State Park provides tent, RV, and cabin camping with amenities like electric hookups and picnic tables. Ocean Breeze Resort in Jensen Beach itself offers RV and tent camping with full hookups, while Fort Pierce-Port St. Lucie KOA, located north of Jensen Beach, provides cabin accommodations alongside traditional camping options. Phipps Park Campground offers unique glamping opportunities with platform tents set among water features.

Camping in the Jensen Beach area is available year-round due to Florida's warm climate, though hurricane season (June through November) may affect availability and conditions. Most developed campgrounds require advance reservations, particularly during winter months when seasonal visitors from northern states increase demand. Facilities typically include electric hookups, water access, and sanitary dump stations, with many campgrounds offering amenities like showers and restrooms. Several campgrounds feature waterfront sites along canals, rivers, or inland water features. "The campground is pretty much a wide open field, there is no separation between the sites. It is very close to a highway which can be loud. There is a nice boardwalk to walk on and the bathrooms were clean," noted one visitor about Phipps Park.

Waterfront camping receives consistently positive reviews, with St. Lucie South campground offering popular sites along the St. Lucie canal. According to a camper, "Located just minutes off of Indiantown Road at I-95, getting in and out of here is no problem. Tucked into a beautiful green spot next to the St. Lucie Canal, this hidden gem is a must if you're just looking to get away from the grind for a weekend." The area provides opportunities to observe boats passing through locks and wildlife viewing, though swimming is generally prohibited in the canals due to alligators. Noise levels vary by location, with some campgrounds situated near highways or railroad tracks. Ocean Breeze Resort reviews mention train noise as a potential disturbance, while others praise its pool amenities and proximity to restaurants and shopping.

    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.

    Taylor Made for Train Enthusiasts

    The campsite is right by the train tracks to Miami, and it feels like the train is barreling through your van. This goes on all night, thanks to a few railroad crossings with plenty of honking!
