    John Prince Park Campground provides waterfront tent and RV sites that accept pets. Located on Lake Osborne in Lake Worth, this pet-friendly destination maintains clean facilities with hot water and good water pressure in the showers. The campground features full hookups including 30/50 amp electric, sewer, and water at most sites. Palm Beach Traveler Park in Lantana and Del Raton RV Park in Delray Beach also welcome pets with concrete patios and gravel sites. Spaces throughout the area tend to be close together with limited room between camping units. The grounds at John Prince remain clean with immaculate laundry facilities and well-maintained bathrooms.

    Pets must be leashed at all camping locations, with designated pet areas available at some parks. Del Raton RV Park features a small fenced-in dog area for off-leash exercise. Peanut Island Campground offers a unique boat-in camping experience where pets are permitted, making it ideal for campers looking to bring dogs on water adventures. Miles of biking paths surround John Prince Park with ample walking opportunities for pets. Wildlife encounters are common, particularly with iguanas throughout the park areas. Camping with pets requires advance planning as most facilities fill quickly during winter months when snowbirds arrive. Sites with shade are limited at many locations, which becomes an important consideration when camping with pets during hot Florida summers.

      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????

      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.

      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.

      DuPuis Campground at Gate 3

      Free Florida Camping

      This campground is a large field where you can pick any spot and is managed by the SW Florida Water Mgmt District. We were able to get a nice spot near the camp host that was perfect for solar. This is an equestrian campground, but there is a section for non-equestrian campers. You do have to get a permit (called a Special Use License) ahead of time to stay. It is a very easy process on the website https://www.sfwmd.gov/community-residents/recreation/sul. The approval will come within minutes. You don’t have to have the permit printed, but make sure you have electronic access to it to show it to the camp hosts. I also wrote the pertinent information on a sheet of paper to leave in the truck, but we never had it out and nobody asked about it. I believe the max stay is 8 days. Make sure you check the website for closures due to hunting and other reasons before you book. We stayed 5 nights in early January 2019.

      There are no hook-ups at this camping area, but there is a dump station near the entrance and there are potable water spigots placed around the camping area. Upon arrival, the camp host informed us not to drink the water. I found that advice ironic since this is managed by the water district. There was a sign near the front of the campground that said the water was fine to drink and did not need to be boiled, but we heeded his advice and only used the water for showers and used bottled water to drink. It did have a sulfur smell and a tint to it. 

      The campground is at Gate 3. There is a gate with a chain at the entrance, but there is no lock. You just move the gate and close it behind you. Most of the area is level and like I said, you can pick anywhere to camp. There are several trees that provide good shade if you want that. We have solar so needed fully sun and were able to find a great spot for that. We didn’t check them out, but they do have restrooms and possible showers. Overall the campground was well maintained and there was no trash. It did get busy for the weekend with locals and got a bit louder, but overall it was nice and quiet. You are close to a highway that large dump trucks drive down so there is some road noise, but nothing too bad. It quiets down at night. There are several walking trails next to the campground and there is a driving nature trail at Gate 1 and more walking trails at Gate 2. The campground is also close to Lake Okeechobee.

      We had no trouble with connectivity as we had 3-4 bars on Verizon and AT&T hotspots without booster. The camp host said there was a small town nearby, Indiantown, where you can get a few essentials and bottled water. We ended up going to Walmart because we needed specific items. There are several about 40 minutes away. 

      Overall it was a nice place to stay for a few days. Great service that the FL Water Mgmt District provides, and we are thankful for it. If ever in the area, we would stay here again.

    Guide to Lantana

    Lantana sits at the edge of the Intracoastal Waterway in Palm Beach County, with an elevation just 10 feet above sea level. The area experiences average winter temperatures around 65°F, making it popular for camping year-round. Wildlife viewing options extend beyond iguanas to include manatees and various migratory birds that frequent the coastal waterways.

    What to do

    Boat access camping: Peanut Island Campground requires boat transportation to reach its sites. "This island offers great camping experience! Kayak and puddle board to snorkeling with beautiful fishes and manatee if you are lucky. The best place to spend on long weekends away from crowds and technology," notes Maimi T.

    Mountain biking trails: Jonathan Dickinson State Park offers extensive off-road bike options. "This is an awesome campground for family's. Tons to do. We live the mountain biking trails. Perfect for all levels and ages," shares Edward R. The park includes a dedicated challenge course and paved trails for casual riders.

    Safari viewing: Visit Lion Country Safari adjacent to the KOA campground. A camper explains, "Great location near the Safari park with discounted tickets available. I recommend staying here if you are going to the Safari Park and need a place to stay." Wildlife viewing extends beyond the safari with natural encounters throughout camping areas.

    What campers like

    Lake views: John Prince Park Campground offers waterfront camping on Lake Osborne. "We drove straight from the dealership to the campground. Lots of places were booked but it was super easy to get a spot at this park. Our site was on the water... but beautiful view! Light rain but enjoyed watching the boats on the lake, taking pics of giant iguanas and talking to the squirrels," says Erika R.

    Hearing wildlife: West Palm Beach-Lion Country Safari KOA provides unique morning sounds. One visitor notes, "We are used to hearing birds and frogs when we camp, but here it is lions...and other noises I was not able to identify." Another mentions, "First off, waking up to lions roaring and bonobos scream in the morning was freaking amazing! I will treasure this memory for the rest of my life."

    Coastal access: Several campgrounds provide easy beach access. Juno Ocean Walk offers "Great location and just across the street from the fishing pier. Our site was all pavers and had ample space for our 34ft travel trailer," according to Deb K. Many campsites in the area serve as convenient bases for exploring Atlantic beaches.

    What you should know

    Seasonal crowds: Winter brings significant occupancy increases to pet friendly camping near Lantana. "Make your reservations early as it books up a year ahead of time," warns Edward R. about Jonathan Dickinson State Park. Local campgrounds often reach capacity during snowbird season.

    Site spacing concerns: Most campgrounds have limited space between units. Carol C. notes about John Prince Park, "It was so crowded that we would not be able to open our awnings and we were only allowed 1 car per spot. You have to pay $6.00 a day to park your car in a lot that is some distance away."

    Heat management: Pine Grove Campground has limited shade coverage. "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," reports Arnaldo N.

    Insects: Mosquitoes can be problematic at certain times. Daniel G. reports, "That's when we noticed that it was literally swarming with mosquitos. Pulled out 3 thermacells but the swarms were so bad they didn't even touch it." Bringing effective repellent remains essential year-round.

    Tips for camping with families

    Paddle sports: Lake access provides water recreation options for families with pets. At Peanut Island, "Dog friendly. Big fire place for everyone. Camping site well organized. BBQ pit everywhere with tables. Shower is pretty clean. Bathroom clean. It was perfect for small kids to running around and felt very safe," reports Maimi T.

    Educational opportunities: Food Forest Utopia offers unique nature learning experiences. "The 2.3 acres are full of natural beauty, with the open meadow and food forest creating a peaceful and vibrant atmosphere. The birds, bees, and butterflies were everywhere, making it feel like a true nature retreat," writes a visitor.

    State park activities: Jonathan Dickinson State Park offers diverse family programs. "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," notes Jennifer L. The park provides ranger-led interpretive programs suitable for children.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection: For larger RVs, choose campgrounds with adequate turning radius. "Very nice KOA, clean well presented, friendly staff. The lions waking you up in the morning is really pretty cool. LOTS of local channels and good internet. It's pretty far from most everything but its really the only game in town," advises Jan H.

    Utility connections: Del Raton RV Park offers organized hookups. "Water, power and Sewer are all close together," notes one camper who adds, "Good location. Lots around for anything you might need. Super friendly staff. Small fenced-in dog area. Quiet accept for the train at night. Most sites are angled. Easy in and out."

    Pressure issues: Some campers report inconsistent water pressure. "Water pressure is sub-par. I changed my filter and still had issues," reports a visitor at Del Raton. This matters particularly for pet owners needing to bathe animals or clean equipment after outdoor activities.
