Jonathan Dickinson State Park | Jupiter Beach... | Florida Camping | Maggie’s Favorite

Jonathan Dickinson State Park was a joy! We parked our Revel at the Piney Grove Campground loop and loved every minute of it. As much as we loved it, Maggie loved it even more... especially the awesome blue water off-leash dog beach at Jupiter Beach. In fact we’d go so far as to say Jupiter Beach is THE BEST DOG FRIENDLY BEACH IN FLORIDA! Jonathan Dickinson State Park earned a place in our hearts and a Top-3 campground during our Florida Winter Camping 2021 adventure.

My wife and have been to Jonathan Dickinson State Park and we love the park! So much to do, but we really enjoyed our bikes most of all! Enjoy Vanatrekkers!

[@David-jo4gt]

🥰🥰🥰 Maggie at the beach . Have fun guys. 👍🏻👍🏻🥰🥰

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

The beach is one of Maggie’s happy places. Thanks so much for watching.

[@spellmadam2947]

Maggie's sand pillow! Loved it.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

It was really cute... we had never seen her do that before.

[@jeancambra8036]

It is awesome. Ya'll know how to live. We love you. Your videos make me want adventure. Maggie is so beautiful. You can tell when an animal loves and she loves you. Be safe and enjoy.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thank you so much for your kind words, they are very much appreciated.

[@justinsnider2166]

Squeezing the lemon - rind side down - MIND BLOWN!! GENIUS!!!!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Every now and then I find a gem of an idea. Just hate digging seeds out of a cook.

[@jenniferrobinson9474]

Maggie looking up at you toward the end of the video is so sweet. She looks so content and happy.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

She looks at Owen a lot like that when he’s talking, I think it’s the sweetest thing.

[@debbiblakeslee2373]

Oh isn’t that place beautiful....been there saw some dear right by the road. 💘💘Florida is the best

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We totally agree that Florida is the best especially in the winter time.

[@jerrymarcus7837]

Another great video. Maggie is the QUEEN!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thank you! Maggie is the queen for sure.

[@MarySears]

Love the paper towel and garbage bag bungee cord holder on the picnic table, thank you for the idea! I so enjoy your videos and sweet personalities, and Maggie too!🥰

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Glad to hear we could pass along the bungee cord idea. Thanks so much for watching.

[@jasminewevers4589]

I get so much joy watching your adventures. Glad you are having fun!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thank you so much, we appreciate your kind comment.

[@r.mcelreath3469]

My wife and I cooked your Three Cheese Tortellini recipe and it was awesome! Please keep your recipes coming. A great meal while enjoying the great outdoors!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

So glad the tortellini worked out for you, it is a great meal to cook on the road. We appreciate your comment.

[@peteacevedo3411]

Great video and Maggie video on the beach was awesome. Your happy dance always brings a smile to our faces. Safe travel

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We love it when we can take Maggie to the beach with us, she loves it so much. Thanks so much for watching.

[@DJ-zw5ze]

What a great video! Y'all are having the best time enjoying the beautiful scenery. Kayaking, riding the ebikes, and the beach. Looks like an awesome place to visit. We love all y'alls videos and seeing what you are cooking. Always looks delicious!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We are definitely doing all our favorites things. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know you are enjoying our videos.

[@mspussycatnz1]

Great video - Jupiter Beach is stunning and so much fun for Maggie :)

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thank you, we love finding places that Maggie can enjoy with us.

[@larryvincent2098]

I always always enjoy and appreciate your wonderful videos. They are unique and informative and interesting. Please be aware you know by now of the things I enjoy and the comments you two make . Thank you for making this fabulous video. BS & BK

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thank you so much for your kind comment, we so appreciate your inspiring words.

[@davidherman1041]

Loved the brief pic of the two "sleeping beauties".

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

One sleeping beauty, but I do love how much Maggie cuddles up. Thanks for watching.

[@rvingsooz]

I used to live in Jupiter until I bought my rv, sold the house and went full time. Jonathan Dickinson (JD) was a fave as it was only 8 miles from the house. You are so right, it's hard to get a site during season, (winter). I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@alexanderweaver4838]

Talking about "happy campers" are you three. Another super video!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Jonathan Dickinson is a good place to be “Happy Campers”. Thanks for watching.

[@sherriweber7105]

Loved the video. Glad you said when the mating season was for the alligators. It was nice you met a couple of subscribers. Nice beach. The beach liked nice with that water. Maggie loved the beach and loved chasing the other doggy’s. Tuna looked good after you grilled it. You all were tuckered out from the day at the beach. Looking forward to next weeks video. See you both soon. Have a great rest of the week. Stay safe.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

The beach there was awesome and we were really glad Maggie could enjoy it with us. Thanks so much for watching.

[@mattclark5480]

The pine tree was cool. Thanks for the video 👍

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

You are welcome, we appreciate you watching.

[@melmermer6051]

I think connecting with nature is definitely a good thing. It is international and inter generation language. We love you. Greetings from 🇬🇧

[@ftkinsella]

Hey guys great video. Love the park and the delicious food you keep making. Stay safe guys. Hi Maggie! ❤️🇨🇦❤️ Cheers!!!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thank you so much for your continued support, it is appreciated.

[@TheSassySpoon]

Looks like a fun place especially with your ebikes! Looks like you had fun on the water too. Happy to know of the off leash beach in Jupiter! Love the tuna on the griddle. Clever paper towel holder!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

It was an awesome place for the eBikes, lots of places to ride. We get excited when we find a great beach that we can share with Maggie. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment.

[@joycemoses2411]

Looks like another great park! Thank you for sharing!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

You are so welcome, and thank you for watching.

[@greatsounds4967]

You captured the feeling of the last day of a great trip or vacation. Always fun following you. Welcome home..

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

[@babsshaffer2652]

Thanks for the fun video! Tuna steaks looked great! Can’t wait for some of that warmer weather in Wisconsin!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

You are so welcome and thank you for watching.

[@charlesterrell2507]

Magis sure seems to like that beach you guys look like you’re having the time of your life enjoy enjoy the videos look forward to my time someday soon

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We all love the beach, but there’s nothing that makes us happier than seeing Maggie enjoy herself as much as she does in the sand. Thanks so much for watching.

[@maureentweedly]

Thanks for all you do on your videos. Great idea on the paper towel holder at the picnic table. I do the same thing around the headrest of the passenger seat but never thought to use it at the picnic table. Super!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We never thought about using it on the headrest, we will try that also. Thanks for sharing.

[@mikeo.750]

Another great informative video. We enjoy your travels and your positivity on cloudy days. Happy travrls.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thank you for taking the time to comment, it is appreciated.

[@filomenaregan1537]

Hi love the video! I absolutely love Johnathan Dickinson State Park, Beautiful! Turtles , alligators and beautiful birds are everywhere . And the park, was named after quite a character. The tour of his home and life is very interesting. Glad to see you where able to get a spot to camp. It has been years now and I have not been able to get a camping spot. A very popular place for camping. Jupiter has a great dog beach. Take care and thanks for the vid!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

You are so welcome. Johnathan Dickinson SP is one of favorites for sure for all the things you mentioned. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

[@philiptarnaski1667]

Spring is here in the Tar Heel State, picked up our first bucket of Fresh Strawberries 🍓 at the local farm. Thanks for sharing your travels 👍

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

You just reminded me that I need to go pick some strawberries. Thanks for watching.

[@theresacorral4508]

I was at this park earlier this month. It is a wonderful park, I am so glad you like Florida State Parks.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Florida State parks are the best! Thanks for watching.

[@momsford]

You turned around and did a dump ??? I about fell outta my seat laughing, when I heard you say that. We've gone from happy dancing to happy dumping, I guess....lol. Poor Maggie, don't learn the happy dance...... Love the videos.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Owen keep trying to get Maggie to dance with him... she’s not very interested. There is something happy about having a clean toilet... thanks for watching.

[@gracegarden1]

Love you guys! I'm just saying 'HI!" and commenting to support your channel. Oh, AWESOME video, by the way. Peace & Prayers.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thank you so much for your support, it is much appreciated.

[@lynneb6510]

Thank you for an awesome review of one of my favorite parks!

[@lynneb6510]

I do believe that is Juno Beach, actually. That is Juno Beach Pier to the south.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

I’m pretty sure it was Jupiter Beach.

[@annebonny8865]

Love your videos, I am a huge fan of our great State Parks also....adventure on 🇺🇸

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Good to hear. Thanks so much for watching.

[@ncwomanparker1708]

So glad that there was a dog beach. I will keep this one in my bucket list.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We love it when we can take Maggie with us to the beach. Thanks so much for watching.

[@Tees463]

wowo great video , tuna looked great ! Thanks

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thanks, we appreciate you watching.

[@richardcoyle2635]

Great video. Tuna steaks? Have to try it. Maggie sure does love the beach. See ya next week.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Tuna steaks are the best, an easy meal on the road. Thanks for watching.

[@corgily]

SUBSCRIBED! Thanks for sharing Janathan Dickinson State Park! We’re planning out next year.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thank you for subscribing. Jonathan Dickinson SP is great, I don’t think you will be disappointed.

[@keithmccandless9723]

Definitely one of my favorite videos ( but all are good) ! Maggie definitely enjoyed the beach and I totally agree that when you can have your pet with you it adds to the experience! Wife and I like to include our pup( Roxi) whenever we can in the adventure rather then her sitting back at rv! On a side note ,we just got back from your backyard camping near Asheville and it was a very nice area and will visit again sometime! To answer a previous reply on riding our ebikes in Asheville ( they have a very nice paved bike trail near art district and carrier park that follows the river ) Next trip Gatlinburg area week after Memorial Day ( my favorite place)! Safe travels

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We have never taken our e-bikes to Asheville, we will definitely have to try that. We love that area and try to go a couple times a year. Have fun in Gatlinburg, that is definitely one of Owen’s favorites. Safe travels to you.

[@sandrap3047]

I don’t want to mate with an alligator either! LMBO 😆😆😆

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Who even thinks about mating with an alligator? Owen, he might be a little crazy.

[@pattyk8594]

I'm glad you shared the bungie cord trick, paper towel and trash bag holder. I'm always looking for a good place to put my trash bag and paper towel roll with that griddle :o)

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rickybreaux2607]

Great video! Hope to see y’all out there one day . I’ll do the happy dance ! 😂

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

I hope we get to see you do a Happy Dance. Thanks for watching.

[@galpalsal]

Genius idea with the bungee cord and the paper towel holder. So practical! Tuna steak looked good. Owen, what a kid you are! Look Ma, no feet riding your e-bike!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Owen is such a kid at heart, it’s one of the reason I love him so much.

[@johnmurray9660]

Always great videos! I sure hope when I retire in 14 months, we can learn to chill, slow down, and take time to smell the roses. You two (and Maggie) always seem so relaxed and like nothing can upset the apple cart. Really look forward to slowing down each week to enjoy the time you share with us! Enjoy and be safe out there. 😎

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

It did take us some time to learn to just go with the flow and not get upset when things don’t go according to plan and that helps to be able to be more chill.

[@breanneh1964]

Hi from Tampa. I love your channel. I’ve never met you but your joy is contagious. Thank you for your wonderful videos.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thank you so much for your kind comment, it is very much appreciated.

[@karjurassic8364]

Camped here all the time when I was a kid, when sites were always available. 😢

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Times have really changed with being available, but it is a beautiful State Park.

[@dougblalock5175]

Great to see another video posted. Already liked and saved for tonight’s viewing. Thanks guys.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thanks so much for liking before you even watched it. We appreciate it!

[@dianashelton1371]

I have always used canoes in my home state of Missouri and thought I might like a Kayak. Jonathan Dickinson is where I rented a Kayak to see if Ike’s them. Of course on my maiden voyage I saw Agitators! Of course I fell in love with Kayaks so I received one for my next Birthday. Happy Trails

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We love kayaking too... what a great Birthday gift. Thanks for sharing.

[@greygooseadventures5212]

Another great video!!! I love the camping hack with the bungee cord and the paper towel holder. We also use two bungee cords to hold down the table cloth. We have a great time this week at Anastasia. I am working on the video. Thank you again for your help and support! David and Juanita

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thanks for the suggestion for the table cloth, we’ll have to try that also. Can’t wait to see the video, glad you had at great time at Anastasia.

[@lindajoplin8054]

You need to teach Maggie to do a happy dance on command. :-)

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

I know!!

[@forreststinnett4123]

Good video guys Maggie sure know how to rest she a good dog 🐕👍

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Maggie is the best, we feel very blessed.

[@janm8477]

Another lovely video! Check out the turtle rescue place near Jupiter Beach - very interesting thing to do.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We’ll have to check out the turtle rescue next time, thanks for the suggestion.

[@janm8477]

@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle I think it's in Juno - Loggerhead Marine Life Center.

[@cecilecandaza6775]

Enjoy! Have lots of fun guys! 👍

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Thank you, we appreciate you watching.

[@itsalovelyride8559]

Thank you for sharing. I’m staying there in a week for about 10 days at the River Campground, minus weekends due to unavailability. I picked the RC because I was concerned about the heat and the PC has road noise. Now I’m wondering if I made the right decision! I’ve spent a lot of time in the area due to family. If it wasn’t for COVID I would say treat yourself to a meal at Guanabanas at the Jupiter inlet.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We didn’t experience road noise where we were, we do like both campgrounds, but you are correct there is way more shade at the river. We’ll have to try Guanabanas next time we are there.

[@annsmith6772]

Another great video! Loved the beach .the water was beautiful. Our old dog Rosie gets my husbands "last bite "of just about everything . Have a great next adventure ,cant wait to see it !

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Owen does the same thing with Maggie, she always gets at least one bite. Thanks so much for watching.

[@janp7943]

Nice to see you this morning. You have found some great camping spots. Did you get the van fixed? Safe travels and see you next time.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

At the time the video was filmed we had not had the van fixed but we do now. Thanks for following along.

[@tominftlthomasp3559]

Got to watch for critters running out on you under those palmettos.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Yep. We do. Maggie and Owen stay on short leashes.

[@EvergreenOG]

Still there? Be sure to go to the Food Shack restaurant in Jupiter. Amazing

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

We are not still there. We will put the Food Shack on our list for next time. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@EarthRoamingAdventures]

Nice :) Stayed there a few times also.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

It is one of our favorites for sure.

[@Snickers_GLNY]

Delightful video. I've spent a lot of time in the Jupiter area... the water is just spectacular. Unfortunately, I've never shared it with my pup, "Aggie," but hope to do so in the future. Safe travels!

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

It is a beautiful place for sure and Maggie really loved it. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@judystreich4554]

What do you think about the new restrictions for the National Parks? For those of us who like to wander and end up where we end up, it is in issue. Happy tails Maggie girl. ❤️🐕❤️

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

The National Park restrictions are going to be different for sure, but I can understand wanted to be able to control the number of people that are in the parks. We may have to look for some other places besides NP’s this year.

[@palmalongo7683]

Love your videos as I continue to collect “bucket lists” destination sites. Question: did you ever beach camp when you had your Travato?

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Glad they are helping. We camped by the beach but never "on" the beach. We probably could have but if you know us you know Lynn was quicker to "put her foot down" with the Travato. Thanks for watching and we are really glad some our suggestions have made it to your bucket list.

[@marykent4380]

Hey you two. A question what was one of the hardest things to get use to when first riding your e-bikes? Thank you

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

For Owen, no... motorcycle disguised as an eBike. For Lynn, the weight of the bike was something to get used to. The throttle takes a little bit to get comfortable with but soon becomes your best friend. So, first riding worries... just be aware it weighs a lot so when you stop be prepared to support that weight. When you lift it lift with your legs. Keep the batteries charged and ready. Be mindful of their popularity and keep them locked. Other than that it is a fun, fun, fun addition to traveling.

[@jimsherry7050]

Thanks for the fl. State parks info... how are the weekends for availability.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Weekends are really hard to find availability, sometimes we have to boon dock or back track to somewhere out of the way.

[@bevbender3587]

Is the grille hard to cleanup after use? Thinking I’d like one.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

Owen does the cooking and the cleaning. He just heats the griddle up and pours water on it and then wipes it down with paper towels. He says it really easy, he’s usually done before I get everything else cleaned up. It is a great way for us to cook on the road and at home.

[@greggjarvies8938]

If we don't get you back to the Tar Heel state soon you might start talking funny and nobody at home will be able to understand you! Safe travels.

[@VANTREKKINGlifestyle]

It would be hard to loose the southern draw. Thanks for watching.
