Jonathan Dickinson State Park River Campground

Jupiter, FL

Jonathan Dickinson State Park River Campground features 52 shaded sites located four miles inside the park near the banks of the Loxahatchee River.

This campground offers a secluded and natural atmosphere compared to the park's main loop, with sites tucked into lush vegetation along Florida's first federally designated Wild and Scenic River. While it provides water and 30/50-amp electric hookups, there are no individual sewer connections at the sites; however, a dump station is available near the park's main exit. The facility includes modern tiled restrooms with hot showers and laundry machines, making it a comfortable base for outdoor exploration. Campers are just a short walk from the riverfront where the park concession offers canoe, kayak, and motorboat rentals, as well as snacks and beverages at Palmettos on the Loxahatchee. Notable nearby attractions include Hobe Mountain, the highest natural point in South Florida at 86 feet above sea level, and the historic Trapper Nelson pioneer homestead. The park also serves as the former site of Camp Murphy, a secretive WWII radar training school, with history displays available at the Elsa Kimbell Environmental Education and Research Center.
