Off the beaten track, this state park offers camping, kayaking and more. We especially like to kayak on the Loxahatchee River. Lot's to see, birds, and fish abound. You might also get a glimpse of a Manatee or Alligator close up.

I love all of the hiking and biking trails and being in the middle of nowhere in the park since it is so huge. Beautiful river to kayak down. There are several different campgrounds. I stayed in an rv in Pine Grove Campground near the park entrance. There are hardly any trees and you hear the highway noise and it... More

We rented kayaks (reasonably priced) and spent several hours exploring the waters. Seeing alligators up close from a kayak is an interesting experience. We also saw Manatees, Herons and Ospreys. There are also some other nice places to go in the park and in the evening you can see all kinds of birds making noise. I was a bit disappointed... More

We rented kayaks...the scenery was spectacular. I must say it was a little unnerving to see alligators swimming not too far from us...we just tried to stay as far away as possible. We did see a manatee also & plenty of ospry nests and other birds. The kayaks were in good condition, but there was no help on weekdays to... More

We tent camped at the Pine Grove campground at Jonathan Dickinson park. This camp ground has no trees and no privacy. This campground used to be heavily wooded but hurricanes knocked down the trees. It was windy when we were there; with no trees to break the wind it was blowing the tents pretty good. The one thing about no... More

This was our first time camping as a family. we have 2,3 and 7 year olds. We stayed at the river campground, which was 4 miles into the park. I was apprehensive with my little ones, but was pleasantly surprised! We were at campground 116 and really lucked out w/ privacy. This space is at the end of the "U"... More

This was well worth the cost to get into the park and the fee for the ride down the river. So much wildlife was present. Alligators (including babies), manatee's, turtles, and many species of fish and birds. Many large osprey nests were also near the river. At Trapper Nelson's we had a parks guide who showed us around the camp... More

If you are looking for a place to camp away from the large crowds of people you find in the private campgrounds, then this park is for you. It's huge and you can easily forget about all the development out there on route 1. The river campground where we stayed is very quiet and the sites have a little privacy.... More

We recently satyed in cabin #7 very nice and clean with a large porch to enjoy. Fishing and wildlife on every turn of the river. We were visted by a baby manatee and paddel up on a couple of deer cooling off in the moring "picture attached" This has to be the cleaniest park we have vistied and will continue... More
