Best Campgrounds near Jensen Beach, FL

The small coastal town of Jensen Beach has good camping within easy driving distance. Jonathan Dickinson State Park sits just a few miles away with electric and water hookup sites for campers who want some basic comforts. Sebastian Inlet State Park Campground puts you close to both inlet and beach, though you won't find much space between sites. Wildlife moves through both parks regularly, so keep your food locked up tight. Sebastian Inlet draws many people for its excellent fishing - the inlet concentrates fish in an area that's easy to access. Several hiking paths wind through the parks, showing off Florida's distinctive plants and animals. You can get from your campsite to Jensen Beach's restaurants and shops in under 20 minutes when you want a break from camp cooking. Both parks maintain clean bathrooms and shower buildings that make longer stays more comfortable. Some sites have good tree cover while others sit in full sun, so check site photos before booking. Summer camping means dealing with high heat and humidity, so bring extra water and sunscreen. Winter brings much more pleasant temperatures in the 60s and 70s. Bug spray is absolutely necessary - the tiny "no see ums" can make evenings miserable without protection. The campgrounds work well for both tent and RV camping depending on what gear you bring. RVers can find full hookup sites that make extended stays easier. Look up current rules before your trip as regulations sometimes change seasonally.
