Message from the Manager

We have just completed installing electric service to the last of our campsites that were without, so power is available throughout both campgrounds now. Just in time for the shorter, cooler days of the camping season! This is the ideal time of year to come out and enjoy “The Real Florida”, so be sure and take advantage of it. Winter wildlife visitors such as warblers and bald eagles will be joining the snowbirds. Seasonal flowers blooming now include blazing star and goldenrod, as the cypress trees drop their needles. Come and see the seasons change!

Close to 11,500 acres of land and river await the visitor to Jonathan Dickinson State Park. Teeming with wildlife, the park offers camping, canoeing, hiking and bicycling, picnicking, fresh and saltwater fishing and guided tours of the Loxahatchee River.

Hours of Operation

Florida state parks are open from 8 a.m. until sundown 365 days a year.
