At the park you can go on guided river tours. Boat rentals are available for 2 hours for $65. Call ahead to check for availability and times due to tides. There is a gift shop that sells refreshments, snacks, and souvenirs. I recommend taking the time to visit the welcome center where they have a small museum and video theater where children or adults can do a scavenger hunt. They have hats and tee-shirts for $10. I would recommend this park for camping, cabins and tents are available, they even have rv sites and a boat ramp, knack rentals are available also. Fishing at the pier is an option to consider it is brackish water.

Been 28 years since I last stayed here. Stayed at the youth site so somewhat away from the rest of the camps. I'd probably give it a 5 star if I was able to enjoy the park more as they have mountain biking, hiking, and some other water borne stuff that I couldn't partake in, sadly. Large park so plenty of room to stretch your arms. Rangers were great! Very helpful and responsive, truly appreciated. The negatives which can and cannot be fixed were the late night trains that run through the park, the mosquitoes the size of VWs, and the observation tower being closed. So go to bed tired, lather on the bug spray (didn't even phase them), and you still get a decent view from the "mountain" top.

HUGE park!! RV site 001 is massive with full hookups and across from a fun playground (only one in camp). It's a drive to get to the actual park, and the fees for tours are pretty steep if you have a large family. Super close to shopping, beaches, a lighthouse, and the Loggerhead Marinelife Center.

Hands down, this might be the best Florida state park I’ve ever visited. The biking and hiking trails were so much fun and really well maintained. We stayed for a long weekend and everything about the trip was just right. The campground was peaceful, the scenery was beautiful, and the whole place felt untouched and quiet. If you’re looking to disconnect and enjoy nature, this is the spot.

This is my first experience at Jonathan Dickinson. It was a very pretty and peaceful campground. I stayed at the River campground location. My dog (Slater) and cat (Zena) enjoyed it very much. We had plenty of places to bike ride around. We hiked up the walk path to hobo outlook. Although the Outlook Tower was shut down it was still quite a beautiful view. One main thing that I would complain about was the constant target practice that was nearby. Gunfire all day long. So if you have PTSD this is not a great place for you.
