Cabin accommodations near Jensen Beach provide access to both river and ocean environments, with positioning in a subtropical climate that allows year-round outdoor recreation. The region features multiple state parks with cabin rentals that connect visitors to Florida's diverse ecosystems including scrub pine forests, mangrove waterways, and sandy beaches within a short drive.
What to Do
Kayaking on the Loxahatchee River: Rent equipment from Jonathan Dickinson State Park and explore a designated Wild and Scenic River. "This is an awesome campground for family's. Tons to do. We live the mountain biking trails. Perfect for all levels and ages," notes Edward R. about Jonathan Dickinson State Park.
Fishing opportunities: Cabin locations provide access to both freshwater and saltwater fishing. "The park is beautiful, must climb Hobe Mountain, the views are stunning. From there you can see both the intracoastal waterway and the Atlantic Ocean in one direction and sand dunes every other direction," reports Karen at River Campground.
Mountain biking trails: Several parks offer trail systems for various skill levels. "Great site for a day trip or a weekend. Lots of trails for hiking and mountain biking. Conveniently located but feels like miles away from civilization," according to Jennifer L.
What Campers Like
Proximity to water activities: Many cabin options sit near waterways for easy access. "Nice camp ground for fishing and bringing the boat along. Some spots are tight in the front row. The back loop has a little more room," explains Melissa B. from Sebastian Inlet State Park.
Accessible natural attractions: Cabins serve as bases for exploring nearby ecosystems. "This park has paved loops with gravel pads, fire pits, BBQ, tables, playground and much to offer in terms of hiking, biking and boating/kayaking," notes Laura M.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Cabins position visitors for nature observation. "This park is right on the water. We saw a giant sea turtle bigger than a manhole cover. We watched dolphins play at sunrise," shares Nora B.
What You Should Know
Seasonal availability variations: Winter represents peak booking periods. "Make your reservations early as it books up a year ahead of time," advises Edward R.
Mosquito protection essential: Insects can be problematic, especially in summer months. "Forgot my fan and almost eaten alive saved by Off," reports Brian M.
Limited shade at some locations: Tree cover varies significantly between sites. "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," explains Arnaldo N. at Pine Grove Campground.
Tips for Camping with Families
Pool facilities: Several cabin locations include swimming options. "There are 3 rustic cabins and a few spaces for tents. While this is billed as a 'family' resort, most of the longer-term campers are retired, or 'digital nomads' that work remotely," notes Jessica A. at Road Runner Travel Resort.
Kid-friendly beaches: Access to gentler water areas for swimming. "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," says Suzanne A.
Varied recreation options: Look for locations with multiple activities. "From bird watching to swimming, to paddle boarding, to kayaking, to biking, the possibilities are endless!!! Then at night….you can have a campfire," shares Roiann C.
Tips from RVers
Site selection considerations: Choose locations that match your needs. "I looked up this campground on Google Earth to see what it was like here. It looked like a flat area with close sites near a busy highway. Was pleasantly surprised that the scrub around the sites is tall making sites more private that the view from Google," explains Laura M.
Proximity to supplies: Some cabin areas have better access to necessities. "Another good thing is that it is close to the city with a huge Publix nearby," notes Arnaldo N.
Accessibility factors: Some locations offer better entry for larger vehicles. "Big Rig friendly with nice pull through sites and a wilderness feel that I enjoyed," reports Coral W. about West Palm Beach-Lion Country Safari KOA.
