“Jonathan Dickinson State Park” in Hobe Sound, Florida - was rated: 6
This was a nice state park. Campsites are close together, but plenty of foliage creates some privacy. Bathrooms were fairly clean, but infested with mosquitoes. We had a terrible problem with mosquitoes and no see ‘ems. I blame this on the time of year we went (being just after a tropical storm). Also, heat was a definite problem. I wouldn’t recommend this park unless it’s cool enough to be outside without shade. The campsites and trails don’t offer much in the way of shade trees. However, the trails are terrific, for the most part. The beginner bike trails are very technical, but not physically exhausting. The intermediate trails though, were nearly impossible with large logs blocking the path. All in all, we stayed to the beginner trails for two days and had plenty of fun. Also, please note that the staff was particularly nice. They were so helpful in checking us in and providing us with maps for all the trails. I cannot comment on the swimming area as this was closed during our trip (due to the tropical storm).
