Best Cabin Camping near Port St. Lucie, FL

200 Reviews

Several cabin rental options exist near Port St. Lucie, with varying levels of amenities and comfort. Jonathan Dickinson State Park offers cabins at both Pine Grove and River Campgrounds, featuring basic furnishings and electricity. Road Runner Travel Resort provides more upscale cabin accommodations with air conditioning and private bathrooms. "I stayed at one of the cabins, and they were a little smelly, and lacked toiletries, but overall not too bad," noted one visitor about the River Campground cabins. Fort Pierce-Port St. Lucie KOA maintains standard KOA-style cabins with beds, small refrigerators, and microwaves, situated within walking distance of amenities.

Rustic cabins and deluxe models are both available, depending on the location. Jonathan Dickinson State Park's cabins provide a more natural setting surrounded by pine trees and palmettos, while the KOA cabins offer convenience with proximity to urban amenities. Nettles Island Resort features cabin rentals with resort-style amenities. Pet policies vary by campground – Road Runner Travel Resort and Fort Pierce KOA allow pets in some cabin units, while state park cabins may have stricter limitations. According to a visitor, "We discovered this place on a vacation trip to see a friend on Hutchinson Island in Fort Pierce FL. There's a large pool, a good-sized general store with all the essentials you might need, and a full restaurant right on site."

Most cabins include beds with mattresses but require visitors to bring their own linens, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between properties – KOA cabins typically include small refrigerators and microwaves, while state park cabins may have more limited cooking options. On-site stores at Road Runner Travel Resort and Fort Pierce KOA stock essential supplies, though prices tend to be higher than at grocery stores. Guests staying at Jonathan Dickinson State Park should plan to bring all necessary supplies, as the park store carries limited inventory and closes early. A Publix supermarket is accessible within walking distance of the Fort Pierce KOA for more substantial shopping needs.

    Pine Grove Campground — Jonathan Dickinson State Park

    Family Friendly State Park

    Recently took a road trip from New England to Florida with my family and had the pleasure of staying here at the Jonathan Dickinson State Park.

    This state park accommodates RVs, tent sites, and cabin rentals with two camping areas -- one (Pine Grove Campground) located close to the entrance, right off of US Hwy 1 and seems to be more geared towards RV sites and the other (River Campground) located about four miles into the park along the Loxahatchee River. We stayed in the River Campground.

    Spacious sites offered: water, electricity, a picnic table, & a fire ring… and grounds include two well kept bathhouses with laundry facilities. Trees were sparse in some sections so be prepared to create shade. Our site was visited by a young raccoon who didn't seem fazed by us at all; just wanted what we were cooking.

    We only stayed for one night, so we weren't able to take in all the park has to offer, but we did walk some of the nature trails along the river towards the newly built amphitheater and swimming area. Unfortunate for us, the swimming area was closed during our stay -- which would have made the stay twice as nice… but the views were still incredible!

    If we ever find our way back to south Florida for camping, we'll definitely come back here.

    Kilpatrick Hammock Campground — Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park

    Awesome stargazing and wildlife

    If you love camping, wildlife, and stargazing but still want the convenience of amenities (i.e electricity, running water, bathroom, shower) then this is the place for you.

    Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park is part of IDA International Dark-Sky Places. The park has little light pollution and also a stargazing pad where you can also camp on.

    The campgrounds aren't large but the campsites are good for tents and RVs. The one site we stayed at had water and electric hook-ups and a firepit. We were close to very clean restroom area that also had showers, washer and dryer. They do have primitive campsites for the more rustic individuals. The campgrounds are about 45 minutes from town, but the ranger station sells ice for $2.50 and firewood purchase is by honor system. We also saw other campers with their dogs so pet-friendly as well.

    Lots of hiking trails and so much wildlife. We saw deer grazing near our campsite!

    Make sure to bring lots of mosquito repellent, especially in the summer months. Otherwise you'll get bit...a lot! But it is Florida after all.

    Pine Grove Campground — Jonathan Dickinson State Park

    Great to escape winter

    Hobe Sound FL Jonathan Dickinson SP This park has two campgrounds. Pine Grove Campground, has 90 sites, it is located near the ranger station. These large sites have more space between and foliage for privacy. Sites have clothes line, fire pit, picnic table and are all level gravel. Very nice clean bathouses with family room. None of the washers and dryers were working. There's a playground and picnic Pavilion. Some road and train noise. Had good downpour today and had a little lake at back of site but within an hour it disappeared! Great place to stargaze. Saw a  great full Wolf Moon.

    River Campground is more rustic, it has 52 sites, is about four miles from the park entrance, near the Loxahatchee River. Sites close together, no privacy. The River CG is great if you plan to fish or kayak. Close to boat ramp. Sites are dirt. Also more mosquitoes. There's major utility construction going on next to this camp right now. 

    Good things- Miles of paved and off road bike  and hike trails, great bird watching, star gazing, canoeing, kayaking, fishing. Seasonal horse back rides. Fun and informative boat tour to Trapper Nelson's. There's a great learning center. Amazon delivers to Ranger station. Stores and restaurants a couple miles away.

    Pine Grove Campground — Jonathan Dickinson State Park

    Extremely clean

    Spent 2 nights here to a full campground. Facilities all in working area. Large graveled lots with picnic table, fire ring and bbq grill. Sewer, water, 50/30 amp power. Paved roads with some paved walking trails. Plenty of gravel trails. Ample restrooms and showers. Like 1 bathroom/showerhouse for every 20 campsites with vending, washer,dryers and book game share spot. The buildings are kept clean. Also a nice dump area. Dog cleanup stations are along trails.. Bonus they have a clothes line at each site to toss your towels etc over to dry. T-mobile 3 bars LTE or -104db inside rv. Staff very friendly and helpful at check in. A place to come back to. They also have planned activities throughout the week. During work week you hear road noise from USHwy1. If not for the morning and evening traffic on 1 this would be a 5.

    Fort Pierce-Port St. Lucie KOA

    Close to town and well-kept

    General: Small family-run KOA campground (33 sites) located 1.5 miles north of Fort Pierce on Highway One. All sites are FHU with a combination of regular, premium, and extra-large sites. There is also a tent site area. 

    Site Quality: All sites are level and gravel with a fire pit and a brick patio area with a picnic table. Typical RV park layout with minimal to no privacy separating sites.

    Bathhouse: Two unisex all-in-ones that were clean and air-conditioned. The shower had immediate hot water and good water pressure. 

    Activities/Amenities: There is a small playground and pet area plus a clean spacious laundry area. It is close to town. There is a manatee center and Navy Seal Museum (but we didn’t explore either one) close by in addition to shops and restaurants in Fort Pierce. I was able to enjoy a 3-mile run to town and back on sidewalks. 

    This campground was more expensive than we usually like to spend but it was a convenient location for us to have dinner with a family friend. We arrived after the office was closed so did not have any interaction with staff but our check-in paperwork was readily available. We appreciate that we were tucked in at the rear of the property which lessened the road noise (and we didn’t have neighbors on either side of us). I would rate this three stars for our purposes but as it was well-kept and for others may suit their needs, it merits four stars in general.

    Kilpatrick Hammock Campground — Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park

    Simple and well maintained

    Our visit was relaxing and enjoyable. We visited in July and the shade from all the trees around our site helped keep the heat tolerable. The camp site’s aren’t dispersed and a little close together but we didn’t have any immediate neighbors around us so it was perfect. We stayed on site 008 and it was spacious enough for our large cabin tent, picnic table, additional table, dog pool, chairs, etc. Our site is conveniently close to the bathrooms. I liked that there is only one main dumpster and it’s kept a distance from the camp sites. I think this helped keep any raccoons that may have been around away from the campers. AMAZING star gazing location.

    Brighton RV Resort

    No Picnic Table

    A new casino is being built beginning Summer 2023 with expected completion in 2025.  We were told the majority of the campsites and cabins will house the construction workers for the casino project.

    PROS 

    Prearrival text regarding checkin and checkin documents left at campground sign, but it had rained and documents were unreadable 

    Deon was very helpful upon arrival 

    Security code for bathhouse entry 

    Over 65 and veteran discount 

    Site 312 concrete pad level 

    Site 312 paver patio surrounded by sand and weeds, but most sites had manicured grass. 

    Nicely spaced sites. 

    Very clean bathhouse during the week. 

    5 washers and 5 dryers at $2 each in Park laundromat. Office sells quarters. 

    Quiet. 

    Saw Seminole police patrolling frequently 

    TMobile 4 bars. 

    Park had WIFI but we did not connect. 

    CONS 

    No security gate so LOTS of drive-bys 

    30amp breaker overheated and tripped 3 times during our 7 night stay 

    Site 312 absolutely no shade 

    Not permitted to select site online when making reservations 

    Absolutely no bathhouse cleaning Saturday and Sunday so by Sunday evening it was pretty nasty 

    Price increase 8/1/22 that we had to pay even tho we made reservations during March 2022 

    Need to bring-your-own fire ring, but wasn't informed of this requirement until we arrived 

    No picnic table at site upon arrival. Notified camp office who advised one would be provided first thing next morning by park maintenance. 

    Day 2. No table. Stopped by camp office right before noon and reported no table delivered to site. Then the excuses started from Jodi, the park manager…only one maintenance man…picnic tables are disappearing overnight and that’s a problem…now have 3 sites that need a picnic table…staff believes other campers see a unoccupied site and drag table to their site…there were 63 tables when the season started… No mention of when picnic table will be delivered to site. We offered to help get it. Told maintenance man is working on it. 

    Day 3. No table. 

    Day 4. Stopped by office at 9am for an update on when to expect a table. Spoke with Jodi again. She had no update. Same excuses as I heard on Day 2 but she did mention that NEXT YEAR she was going to need to anchor the tables at each site so they don’t disappear. I mentioned seeing 4 tables at the firepit area. She said we are welcomed to take a table from the community firepit area and move it to our campsite but those are needing replacement boards badly(her words). 

    Never got a table. Just too heavy for us to drag one from the firepit area to our site, which was a bit more than a half block and the maintenance man never delivered one.

    Sebastian Inlet State Park Campground

    Primitive Camping @ BG Marina

    We did not camp in the Sebastian Inlet State Park campground, but instead chose the primitive experience through BG Marina. There are 10 campsites at the marina that are great if you want a place to launch your boat and camp out between fishing trips. Each has a picnic table and fire pit. They are also well shaded. However, the sites are very close together and not private at all- it can get a little loud if crowded. There are clean bathrooms, access to water, but no showers.

    Pine Grove Campground — Jonathan Dickinson State Park

    Love this park

    There’s not a lot of shade, but it’s an amazing place to go. There are many trails for walking and for biking. Great division of space between your spot and the neighbor. Has a fire pit, BBQ and picnic table for each spot. Sunset views are amazing. Felt very comfortable with my kids.

Guide to Port St. Lucie

Cabin camping near Port St. Lucie, Florida offers access to both inland freshwater environments and coastal ecosystems. The area sits at an average elevation of just 16 feet above sea level, with summer temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F and high humidity levels. Most cabin rentals require advance booking of 11 months for peak winter season when temperatures moderate to 70-75°F daytime highs.

What to do

Boat tours to historic sites: At Jonathan Dickinson State Park, visitors can take a guided river tour to Trapper Nelson's historic homestead. "We went on the one that goes to Trapper Nelson's place where you get a ranger guided walk. Totally worth the $25 fee," notes a visitor at Jonathan Dickinson State Park.

Night sky viewing: Cabin campers seeking dark skies can venture to Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park, Florida's only designated dark sky site. "The night sky was pretty dark but I couldn't see the Milky Way (there was a half moon during my stay). I must be spoiled by the night sky out west," explains a visitor at Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park.

Water recreation options: Sebastian Inlet offers excellent fishing and water access directly from the campground. "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," shares a visitor from Sebastian Inlet State Park.

What campers like

Abundant wildlife viewing: The natural areas surrounding cabin rentals provide opportunities to spot native Florida wildlife. "We've seen otter, tortoise, birds, eagles so far. Nice sites in two campgrounds," reports a camper from Jonathan Dickinson State Park.

Convenience to essentials: Many cabin camping locations offer easy access to supplies. "Close to town and well-kept... I was able to enjoy a 3-mile run to town and back on sidewalks," notes a visitor at Fort Pierce-Port St. Lucie KOA.

Resort-style amenities: Some locations provide extensive recreational facilities beyond basic cabin amenities. "The park is probably the cleanest we had stayed in yet! There is a really nice beach for kids 15 mins away on Hutchinson island," shares a camper from Road Runner Travel Resort.

What you should know

Variable site privacy: Cabin sites range from private to densely arranged. "Little to no privacy. Very convenient to the restrooms and trash. Overall a good stay," explains a camper at River Camground regarding their experience.

Bug protection essential: Insects can be problematic in Florida's humid climate. "Forgot my fan and almost eaten alive saved by Off," reports one tent camper at Jonathan Dickinson State Park.

Remote locations require planning: Some cabin sites are far from services. "Be sure to fuel up and have plenty of groceries. Quiet and remote," advises a visitor to Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park.

Reservation timing matters: Popular cabin locations book well in advance. "This is an awesome campground for family's. Tons to do. We live the mountain biking trails. Make your reservations early as it books up a year ahead of time," shares a camper at Jonathan Dickinson State Park.

Tips for camping with families

Activity variety for different ages: Many cabin camping areas offer activities suitable for various family members. "Great site for a day trip or a weekend. Lots of trails for hiking and mountain biking. The sites aren't large but fairly private due to foliage," reports a visitor to Jonathan Dickinson State Park.

Kid-friendly wildlife encounters: Several locations provide safe wildlife viewing. "We saw a giant sea turtle bigger than a manhole cover. We watched dolphins play at sunrise. We were parked right across from the water. My husband and the kids fished off the rocks," shares a camper from Sebastian Inlet State Park.

Playground access: Some cabin locations include play facilities. "Desperate for a place to pitch our tent rather than spending $$$ for a hotel, we lucked up when we found VBK on The Dyrt. This quiet campground lined with moss covered oaks, palm trees and long leaf pines was a dream. They are set up mostly for RVs but have a few campsites," explains a visitor at Vero Beach Kamp.

Tips from RVers

Shade importance: Florida heat makes shade valuable for cabin campers. "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," notes a visitor to Jonathan Dickinson State Park.

Proximity to beaches: Multiple cabin camping options provide beach access. "Amazing little campground right on the water. Clean restroom facilities. Close to beaches. People are friendly. If you're trying to surf or fish stay here!" explains a camper at Sebastian Inlet State Park.

Rental unit considerations: For those choosing rental cabins rather than personal RVs, amenities vary. "There is a large pool, a good-sized general / convenience store with all the essentials you might need, and a full restaurant right on site. The RV sites vary in size and set-up, most are level, most have a concrete patio," shares a visitor at Road Runner Travel Resort.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do Port St. Lucie cabin accommodations compare to glamping options?

For a glamping-like experience with unique features, Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park offers accommodations under spectacular dark skies as Florida's only designated International Dark-Sky site. While technically not glamping, this provides an exceptional nature experience with basic amenities (electricity, running water, bathrooms, showers). For more upscale options, Zachary Taylor Waterfront RV Resort provides waterfront accommodations with higher-end amenities. True glamping emphasizes luxury in nature, while most Port St. Lucie cabins focus on comfortable but straightforward shelter for outdoor enthusiasts.

What amenities are included in Port St. Lucie cabin campgrounds?

Cabin amenities in the Port St. Lucie area vary by location. At Fort Pierce-Port St. Lucie KOA, a family-run campground just 1.5 miles north of Fort Pierce, cabins come with basic amenities and access to the campground's facilities including fire pits. The campground offers a combination of regular, premium, and extra-large sites. Sebastian Inlet State Park Campground provides more rustic cabin options with picnic tables and fire pits, perfect for those who want a more natural experience while still having basic shelter.
