1 campground with availability this weekend
Cabin camping near Wellington, FL ranges from rustic riverside options to fully equipped family cabins, with 14 campgrounds offering a variety of rental styles. Jonathan Dickinson State Park offers cabin accommodations within two distinct campground areas near Wellington. The Pine Grove Campground provides cabin rentals with modern amenities including electricity, water hookups, and air conditioning. The River Campground, located approximately four miles into the park along the Loxahatchee River, offers more rustic cabin options. Most cabins include basic furnishings such as beds, tables, and chairs, along with outdoor fire rings and picnic tables. Restroom facilities with showers are centrally located throughout both campgrounds. "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.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. The West Palm Beach-Lion Country Safari KOA provides family-friendly cabin rentals with greater privacy than tent sites. Sunsport Gardens Family Naturist Resort also offers cabin accommodations in a more specialized setting. Most cabins require advance reservations, particularly during winter months when seasonal visitors from northern states frequently book extended stays. Pet policies vary by location, with Jonathan Dickinson State Park and Lion Country Safari KOA allowing pets in designated cabins. According to one visitor at Lion Country Safari KOA, "This campground that sits just outside of the only drive through animal safari with over 1,000 different types of animals, is great for families to enjoy."
Many cabins require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Jonathan Dickinson State Park cabins have limited kitchen facilities, so guests should plan to bring cooking supplies and food. The KOA location provides more comprehensive amenities in their cabins, including basic kitchenettes. On-site stores at Jonathan Dickinson State Park and Lion Country Safari KOA offer limited provisions, though selection varies seasonally. One reviewer cautioned about the state park store: "Make sure you have all you need, since the store doesn't really carry anything besides snacks and it closes early anyway." Nearby towns provide full-service grocery stores and camping supplies for longer stays.

"The park is very well maintained. The front area is more for weekenders. We stayed in the back behind the lake and it was very quiet/family friendly."
"My site was private and (mostly) clean. Easy pull throughs available if you’re not a savvy backer-upper. The only downside was the loud music playing at the park next door, and I love music!"
"Had a wonderful week at the naval station in Key West. It only cost $40 per night. All amenities were available."

"The RV pads each had a propane barbecue and had enough space for our 27 foot RV and ram 2500 crew cab with room to spare. The staff was most helpful and professional. "
"Beautiful large pool with a bar and very clean modern bathrooms snd showers. Gym area and laundry as well. Walking distance to fun restaurants snd bar."
"Conveniently located near stores and everything you would need. Close to airport."
TravelerMy family stayed at the park for a long weekend. Great park, but the vendor contract expired and a new one hasn’t been chosen. Because of this, canoe rentals, firewood, ice, etc. are not available in the park. Thankfully Publix is just up the road. We will be back, but not until the vendor situation is resolved.
RangerThis site is in a great spot between the Indian River Lagoon and the beach. They have a ton to do for anyone who likes to enjoy the traditional resort-type amenities. Our canal-front slip was perfect and we capitalized by taking a trip to the Stuart sandbar. Two negatives, the parking is a little tricky depending on which site you get...narrow streets and some cars parked in a way that makes them even worse. I was also disappointed that we didn't get notice about amenities (including the main pool) that had apparently been closed for months. Beautiful regardless.
RangerOverall a pleasant experience, especially for only my second trip in the RV. My lot was mostly clean, had plenty of space for my truck and 30ft trailer, and had everything I needed. I was expecting a more peaceful trip out in nature, but about 12 people were camping in the lot beside me with their dog off-leash, so there were some moments of frustration with noise and my dog, who is leashed as expected. The observation tower was closed and basically all concessions/tours were as well, but it was still nice to get on some trails.
TravelerWe stayed in Pine Grove loop. Long and wide sites with very easy access for backing and parking. Hookups very convenient and accessible. Sites are divided by vegetation providing a sense of privacy between neighboring sites, which are placed well apart from each other.
Scoutbig sites bike paths water sites near river
RangerQuiet clean level sites. Bathrooms are clean One washer and dryer busy and sometimes jammed Cell reception fine Verizon and att. Could do video calls no problem. My only complaint are the bugs. Lots of bugs. The “no see um” are terrible. They are little tiny bugs that fly. They are so small the go right through your screen on your door or window. You typically won’t notice them until they bit.
RangerThe 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.
TravelerNot worth staying here very close to very noisy road . No facilities. No pool. WiFi very weak. No park nearby
ScoutThe 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.
