Reservations are available year-round at this KOA in Loxahatchee, and the gate closes at 10 p.m., so arriving late means picking up a key card at check-in with a $20 refundable deposit. Full hookups with electric, water, and sewer accommodate RVs up to 40 feet, and pull-through sites get consistent praise from big rig drivers. WiFi and drinking water are on-site, though the campground sits well away from the highway, which reviewers note makes it feel somewhat removed from urban South Florida.
The defining characteristic here is sound. Lions roar audibly from the adjacent Lion Country Safari property, and at least one reviewer reported hearing bonobos as well. That proximity is the main draw. Sites are compact and close together with minimal privacy, and tent campers should note there are no fire rings and lamppost lighting stays bright through the night. Some sites are gravel; most are not. Raccoons are active after dark, so securing food and trash before turning in is worth the effort.
Pricing runs on the higher end for a KOA, with rates reported between $90 and $99 per night. Discounted tickets to Lion Country Safari are available through the campground, which meaningfully offsets costs for families planning to visit the park. Groceries and gas stations are accessible nearby. Mosquitoes can be a serious issue, particularly in summer months, when at least one camper reported conditions bad enough to cut a stay short. Visiting in late fall through early spring tends to draw the most favorable conditions according to reviewers. Campers exploring campgrounds around Wellington will find this is one of the few established options with full hookups in the immediate area.
Ian R. put it plainly: "waking up to lions roaring and bonobos scream in the morning was freaking amazing." That experience, more than the facilities, is what brings campers back. Staff across multiple reviews are described as accommodating and attentive, even during high-occupancy periods. For a different setup with a pool, Poolside Pines RV Parking with Pool & Hot Tub is a nearby alternative worth considering.
