The campground is large too so plenty of space - my family had a 45ft motor home and we were quite comfortable here. I especially loved the view of the lake at night with the full moon. Our entire 3 day visit was nothing short of relaxing and peaceful. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking to visit or even locals like myself who want to try somewhere they have never been!

John D. MacArthur Beach State Park seemed like such a hidden gem from everything I had read and…read moreseen online. I loved that it offers so many activities in one place--kayaking, paddleboarding, the beach, picnic areas, a gift shop, and educational exhibits--all at very reasonable prices. Parking was only $5, and the kayak and paddleboard rentals were affordable too. Unfortunately, I happened to visit on a day with an extremely low tide. Paddleboard rentals were suspended, but kayak rentals were still available. The staff did warn us about the low tide and advised us to stay near the edges to avoid getting stuck. However, as someone new to kayaking, I didn't realize just how much the tide would impact the experience. For a large portion of our trip, the water was so shallow that our kayaks constantly got stuck. We had to repeatedly get out and drag them through the water. At times, the water wasn't even ankle deep. I completely understand that the staff can't control the tides, but I honestly wish kayak rentals had also been paused that day because the conditions made it difficult to really enjoy the experience. By the time we finished kayaking, we were exhausted and felt pretty gross from walking through the murky water, so we ended up skipping the beach altogether. Outside of that, the park itself looked lovely. There was a nice picnic area, a cute gift shop, and they even had a rescued sea turtle with a volunteer sharing information about sea turtle conservation, which was a really nice touch. There also appeared to be several educational exhibits throughout the park, although they happened to be closed during our visit. One downside was a pretty unpleasant smell near the gift shop, but I'm guessing that may have also been related to the unusually low tide. Despite my experience, I haven't written the park off. The photos I've seen online make it look absolutely beautiful, and I think we were just unlucky with the timing. I'd definitely consider coming back on a day with higher water levels to give it another chance. It sounds like a great park overall--I just recommend checking the tide conditions before planning to kayak or paddleboard so you can enjoy it at its best.

This review is for the South side of Lake Worth Beach…read more Lake Worth Beach is the closest beach to me, and although I used to mainly only go to Kreusler Park adjacent to this, I have now begun hitting the opposite end, the very South Side of the beach. I park at the City parking pass spots on the bottom parking level, just in front of the grassy little hill, and let my kids run in the grass and climb the trees in the top part while I unload the car. Then we walk a short distance to the very South beach access. This part of the beach is lovely, usually you can walk out really far in the water, no rocks, fish around. The bathrooms are in a little building along here that also has an overhand where people gather when it rains, and the roundabout for pickups/drop offs makes this super convenient. I don't like the fake pigeon squawks, which are really annoying if you're hanging in the picnic area near here under the trees, which is where I usually have my kids eat instead of lugging food down to the beach. And the only 1 shower thing is frustrating, but otherwise, this is a lovely spot!

But just after one visit we realized what an amazing park this is and often drive from two cities away just to visit. This park is a lovely escape to nature in South Florida. Boosting, many walking paths, bike paths, a dog park, a splash pad, frisbee, golf pitch, fishing areas, boating lake and many other sports areas. Overall, the paths pavement are generally well maintained, however, you do get a little bit of cracking as you do with most paved areas in Florida due to the heat- nothing too extreme, it was still easy to push a stroller. The bathrooms are always clean, yet admittedly, they are quite dated and dark on the inside, even though hygienically they are up to standards . Perhaps adding some better lighting on the inside could help make it feel a little nicer. Today while walking around the park, we visited many of the small playgrounds and our young child enjoyed getting out to play .

The maintenance man (sorry not sure of his name) does a great job keeping up with the day to day maintenance. i can see they are really cleaning up the park and making it more of an rv city for those who live in there trailer long term. A few suggestion: FREE INTERNET throughout the park. A vending machines would be nice or a little convenient store that sells the basic essentials. (T.P, P.T, snacks!

Tina, Chuck, Nick, and Brandy are a wonderful team working their best everyday to meets the needs and "demands" of certain guests. All I know is I'm glad I didn't rely on the few negative reviews about this establishment to decide if this was the place for me. I came in the evening to investigate how serene and quiet this establishment was before committing to moving here. Quiet and peaceful. What I can say is that it is a very kind, respectful, professional establishment with hard working people doing their absolute best all time time. They are always working to maintain the property. They are always receptive and communicative. Friendly, organized, family like environment. It has a little bit of everything which I love. You have a few kids that play around late afternoon which I love 'it makes me feel like being around children is what makes us allowed to feel that energy and be able to relax as they are. Everybody from the staff to the patrons of this establishment are always smiling, kind, engaging, however also mind their own business and are respectful related to not being loud when dealing with neighbors. I am grateful for that because I have been in parks that have not been so courteous nor diligent about grounds keeping. I always bring forth kindness, understanding, respect, and gratitude. without fail that is always what I get back in return. You get what you give. People are doing the best they can in every given moment dealing with all of the personalities that come by us particularly through the transactional requirements to continue through the day. I personally give this establishment 10 stars. And let me tell you this is coming from (me) someone who is very picky about the grounds of an establishment, noise, and people. This place is full of people that are pleasant and mindful . I've Been in very poorly run RV parks, this is NOT! one of them. As far as the spaces go and being tight. I think that can be addressed by any institution working in business. If you want a prime type space that allows for a room on both sides then naturally you have to pay for a prime space. Just like you would have to at any hotel or other establishment in this life. I don't think it's fair to blame the people running the place, who have just as much obligation to meet the inflation requirements as we all are facing rises in prices. Ultimately I think some people are never pleased , and forget to treat the people that work here like humans and not just people there to provide a transactional encounter for your comfort. Once again, kudos to all the members of this establishment. It's the one place in South Florida that I found encompasses all of the necessary fun to provide a happy RV camping lifestyle. I will be here for a very long time thanks to the help, guidance, pleasant behavior, and constant communication which is huge these days when trying to deal with an RV park. My calls are always answered and if they're not my calls are returned within five minutes. Some thing I've never seen. I could go on and on but I think my point is made. Don't believe everything you read when it comes to negativity, often it has more to do with the person writing the message than who they're writing it about. Don't hesitate to come here, it's a small family style experience with a lot of nice people. And the best thing of all is the dog run on the perimeter of this establishment has yet to be found with any dog feces. Which is another huge thing when dealing with parks that allow animals. So often people don't pick up their dog feces! Extremely and profoundly grateful for this magical slice of heaven in a chaotic world. With magnificent gratitude
