Campgrounds and RV parks near Loxahatchee Groves, FL

The signature attraction is Lion Country Safari, a drive-through wildlife preserve immediately next to the KOA. Families pair a safari drive with the adjacent Safari World walk-through park, which includes rides, animal exhibits, and a water sprayground. Outdoor recreation centers on the Loxahatchee River corridor and the surrounding wetlands at Jonathan Dickinson State Park. Jonathan Dickinson State Park is the largest state park in Southeast Florida. Rare environments such as coastal sand hills, upland lakes, and scrub forests as well as the pristine Loxahatchee River make this park a unique spot to explore by foot or water. Inside the park, visitors can rent canoes and kayaks, join guided pontoon tours to Trapper Nelson's 1930s homestead, fish the river, and ride an extensive network of paved and off-road bike trails. Beach access is straightforward: Juno, Jupiter, Riviera, Lake Worth, and Palm Beach are all within roughly a 30 to 45-minute drive of the campgrounds.

The peak RV season in this part of South Florida runs from roughly November through April, when humidity drops, rainfall is at its lowest, and daytime highs sit in a comfortable range for outdoor activities. Snowbird demand is heavy in these months, and RV parks throughout Palm Beach County commonly fill weeks or months in advance for the January to March window. Late spring and summer bring the wet season. In West Palm Beach, the precipitation during summers is significantly higher in comparison to winters. Afternoon thunderstorms are near-daily from June through September, and heat index values often climb well above 100°F. The highest temperatures in West Palm Beach are recorded in August, with averages reaching a high of 86.5°F (30.3°C) and a low of 81.3°F (27.4°C). August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 24.8 days and accumulates 4.13 inches (105mm) of precipitation. Atlantic hurricane season officially spans June 1 through November 30, with the highest activity typically in August, September, and October. Florida State Parks and other public campgrounds close ahead of tropical storm or hurricane warnings issued by the National Weather Service, so travelers in the shoulder season should build flexibility into their plans and monitor forecasts.

Most nearby RV parks are developed resort-style properties rather than wilderness campgrounds. Expect paved or concrete pads, full hookups with 30 and 50-amp service, laundry, pools, and planned activities. Site spacing is typical for a South Florida resort, so plan on relatively close neighbors rather than a secluded feel. Bring insect repellent year-round; mosquitoes and no-see-ums are active near the wetlands, especially at dusk. Rig-length limits vary by park. At Jonathan Dickinson, Maximum RV length is 40 feet for Pine Grove Campground and 36 feet for the River Campground. All sites include water, electricity, table and standing grill or fire ring with cooking grate; sewer hookup is included on all Pine Grove campsites as well. Pet policies are common but not universal at private parks, and breed restrictions apply at some. Pets are not allowed inside the Lion Country Safari drive-through, so plan kenneling or a non-safari day if traveling with dogs.
