A great spot near the Lion Safari and other attractions. The wooded area around the spot adds nice a nice feeling of privacy. I decided to extend my stay after the first night. The host is so kind and knowledgeable about the area. Worth checking out.

This was my first time using this app, so I didn’t know what to expect… and let me say that it far exceeded my expectations! Vito the owner couldn’t be more friendly and accommodating! I had an issue that was a million percent my fault… I cut the corner too tight coming in and got stuck in the ditch. If this happens to you, just call Priority Towing and they’ll come get you out the way you went in!!! Vito was so helpful throughout that whole thing! The property is beautiful and peaceful. If you have dogs, there is a very well-kept backyard, but you can also walk them on the sidewalk of the main road. Would most definitely recommend this very cool and hip camp!

Weekend Trip to RV Campsite with Pool & Hot Tub

This site is a hidden gem. It was perfect for a weekend getaway. It was easy to find and hook up at the site. The view out your front door is beautiful pines. The site has a picnic table with an umbrella for shade as well as a firepit. At night there are lights and a bug zapper to make it comfortable outside. The best part is the fabulous pool just behind your site. The pool has great seating options, shade and a hot tub. Our dogs also loved the site. Our hosts were responsive and supportive. We will definitely visit this site again!

A beautiful location with great amenities and ample privacy! I was pleasantly surprised by this luxurious hipcamp. The host was very accommodating and the location was super convenient. I like to visit relatives in West Palm but the busy traffic chaos overwhelms me a little. This was a perfect place to be close enough to everything but with a quiet retreat.

Weekend Trip to Nettles Island Coastal Resort

This is a great place to stay. Lots of activities included. You can plan a stay here and have so much to do! Two pools on location, beach access, a restaurant and more! The only negative review is the check in process. It is not explained that you need your vehicle registration, proof of insurance, and, if you bring pets, you need their vaccination log. You must go to the front office w all info in hand. Overall, we will happily stay here again! Beautiful resort. I sent a message to the owner and got no response, but the front office was accommodating at check in.

I loved staying at Toni’s, the location is great specially if you want to head to Lion country safari, it is only a 10 minute drive. The spot where you park your RV is even and surrounded by trees. There is also a great spot to do a camp fire and they even provided some fire food even though we forgot ours but you can buy everything you need at a Publix also 10 minutes or less away. I would 100% stay here again they were awesome!

1 night at Jungle Bloom RV & Camping Escape

The hosts are pleasant and accommodating! The property is well maintained, and we had a lovely stay. We have three dogs who loved running around the property off leash, and the dirt roads all around we're enjoyable for on leash walks or bike rides. The site is right next to the house, yet we felt alone, facing the opposite direction in our 38 ft Class A RV with 3 slide outs. The site has a nice bonfire pit which we enjoyed at night, and there are wild adorable bunnies everywhere! If you require 30 amp electrical hook up, make sure you have an adapter for a 115 volt house plug. However, we had the option to run our generator all day and night. It's a perfect spot to stay a day or two to breakup a long road trip, or to stay for a change of scenery. There is plenty to do within 3 mikes,such as go to a park that has hiking, biking and kayaking. We were content taking walks along the neighborhood dirt roads. Very peaceful and quiet. We stayed an extra night!

The best river, stream, or creek RV camping near West Palm Beach guide

Where to go

West Palm Beach Surrounds

For a family-friendly beach day near West Palm Beach, check out Municipal Beach or Phipps Ocean Park. The city’s best snorkeling is at Phil Foster Park’s artificial reef in the Intercostal, a site loaded with tropical fish, while manatee lovers should not skip the Manatee Lagoon. Because of its location on Florida’s arterial I-95, West Palm Beach has a variety of RV resorts and RV parks with full hookups and free wifi that can accommodate big rigs and campers.

John D. MacArthur Beach State Park

This beach park in North Palm Beach has 1.6 miles of immaculate beach backed by mangrove forests, hammocks, and the Intercoastal waterway. Loggerhead, leatherback, and green turtles nest on this beach from May to August, and paddlers may spot manatee, dolphins, and water birds in the area. Kayak and SUP rentals are available on-site.

Jonathan Dickinson State Park

One of the most dynamic parks near West Palm Beach is Jonathan Dickinson State Park, home to an extensive network of hiking trails through 16 natural communities and nine miles of dedicated mountain biking trails. You can also paddle on the Loxahatchee River. The park’s two campgrounds have tent sites and RV sites with full hookups, picnic tables, grills, and restrooms.

Lake Okeechobee

Just west of West Palm Beach, the enormous Lake Okeechobee has excellent bass fishing. The 109-mile Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail circles the lake and makes for a scenic hiking and biking route.

When to go

West Palm Beach’s busy camping season is winter, when its mild tropical weather gives visitors a warm reprieve from freezing temperatures in the Northeast. Fall and spring are both pleasant as well, but beware of spring break crowds. Summers in South Florida are hot and humid with heavy rain, making tent camping a struggle. Summer and fall are also hurricane season here, when monitoring weather and storm forecasts is a necessity.
