For The River - Jonathan Dickinson State Park: There are 2 campgrounds in this state park. Pine Grove and River. We stayed for 7 nights at the River Campground. We payed almost $30 per night. The River campground is nice. Much more shade and foliage than Pine. Large campsites. Most are covered and divided by beautiful foliage. Most sites are gravel with a couple paved. Lots to do here. Many miles of shared trails for hikers, bikers, and equestrians. Pine has full hookups where River has water and electric only. Camp Murphy offers trails for 10 miles of off road bicycles, mountain bikes. Designated trails with novice, intermediate, or expert! The Loxahatchee river offers boat tours at $27 each person. They rent kayaks and canoes. This is an awesome river to kayak. The current is slow and makes for an easy paddle along mangroves. Many gators, birds, and large turtles along the way. They have an overlook tower with ramped boardwalks that lead to the tower, which sits atop the highest natural point in South Florida. What I don’t like about this place? 1. out of close to 100 campsites here, there is only one dump station! And it is at the Pine Campground, almost 5 miles from the River campground. Without sewer here in the River campground, I would not attempt to pull a poop wagon 5 miles! Stupid that the Dump Station is located at the campground with full hookups. Duh! 2. They offer wash and dry laundry and it takes 10 quarters, no credit cards, and guess what? You cannot get change here! 3. The 7 nights we were here there were many open sites. The sign out front reads Campground is Full! Saturday I counted 6 empty sites at River Campground. I don’t believe this is a fault of JD but it is frustrating to think how many sites are empty when there are many campers trying to get in here. I wish FL State Parks could figure a way to free or make available their empty sites. 4. Horrible Verizon coverage here. 1 sometimes 2 bars.

For The River - Jonathan Dickinson State Park: We stayed in the River Loop and had a nice pull through, concrete pad for our site. The place is kept well, modern bath areas, and the camp hosts nice. The no-see-ums were present even during the day but especially at dawn and dusk. Having lived in Florida all my life, I don’t recall this part of Florida being hot in February (high 80s and low 90s) so suggest this be a January destination.

For The River - Jonathan Dickinson State Park: It needs some work.. the newer section has sewer hookups ... dump is 5 miles away! Showers need daily cleaning ... dirty mud on floors all week... spider webs have been in there awhile. Quiet and secure. Sites level some with concrete activities like boating tours and horse wagon rides ... www dot HisRoadTrip dot com

For The River - Jonathan Dickinson State Park: Just barely a three at best. This campground is electric and water and located five miles from the full hookup campground and park entrance. No privacy. Some sites flood. Newer shower house but hot water is hit and miss. Not long ago both campgrounds were updated and rebuilt due to storm damage. The River campground contractor tore down the old bathrooms, removed the old dump site and added a couple of paved sites. Then the state ran out of money to finish the project as planned. They didn't have the money to install a new dump site at the River campground! Where do you empty your tanks...at the full hookup campground five miles away. The state allowed a new dump site at the full hookups campground but not at the water and electric campground. Come on Governor Scott, stop planting hundreds of palm trees along the interstate and install a dump site at this heavily used campground. Jeez.
This park is great for bicycles both on the road and off road through the scrub oaks and palmetto bushes. Horse riding and canoeing. At the River campground Verizon LTE one to two bars. Plenty of ota television stations. Once is enough for me.
