John Prince Park Campground

Sarah Kolenchak

Use to come here as a kid, I use to love it! Not sure if the rules have changed but the camping rules are total nonsense. You cannot camp in your vehicle but you may drive it to your spot, pitch a tent, & use the car throughout the stay. You have to sleep in the tent or in your RV. I personally use a tent to hangout & get dressed in. I sleep in my car cause I have a cool bed set up for camping purposes. Not an ideal stay for someone who car travels the way I do!

I would never stay at this RV park, and here’s why. After driving over 3,000 miles, I called to request a simple 1-2 night stay. The staff informed me that same-day reservations are first-come, first-serve, which was fine—I planned to arrive early anyway. But then came the dealbreaker: they required proof of RV registration and insurance. This is outrageous and invasive. Why does it matter who owns my RV? If I let my best friend borrow it, would she be denied a spot because she’s not the registered owner? What about people renting RVs from companies—are they excluded too? This feels like blatant discrimination. Then there’s the insurance demand. Why do they need access to my personal information? This policy raises red flags about their own insurance coverage—do they even have property insurance? Here’s the kicker: even if I had top-tier insurance, it wouldn’t cover incidents on private property. My insurer would just point the claim back to the park’s management. My husband and I, who have spent years traveling and working at RV parks (and hotels before that), have never encountered such a policy. My husband carries broadform insurance, which covers him driving any vehicle—a common setup for mechanics who test-drive cars. Yet this park’s bizarre requirements would exclude us. This policy is as absurd as a hotel demanding to see your car registration and insurance before letting you book a room. Both are vehicles parked on private property, so why the overreach? In our extensive experience, this is not a standard RV park practice—don’t fall for it. On a side note, the staff was polite on the phone, and if they dropped this invasive policy, I might consider staying. But as it stands, I won’t support a business that demands personal information while I’m paying them for a service. This isn’t my employer; it’s an RV park. Stay away until they rethink their approach.

I love this RV park. The wildlife and landscape is beautiful. The park is safe, clean and really well maintained.

My wife and I spent 4 days and nights here from 16-20 June 2025. It was a GREAT EXPERIENCE from start to finish. CAMPGROUND SPECIFICS: This campground is HUGE and has a total of 281 campsites. All of the sites have paved asphalt pads and full hookups (30 & 50 Amps, Dump Stations, Freshwater Spigots) and a single picnic table. There are NO CAMPFIRE RINGS installed on any of the individual sites, but the management allows campfires if you have your own portable campfire ring that sits at least 6 inches off of the ground. The campground is part of the much larger John Prince County Park Complex, which is located on the North Side of the Park and is separated from the campground by two drainage canals and a security gate. You can walk to the North Park over a foot bridge that passes close beside the campground's check-in booth and enjoy some very nice and relaxing strolls on miles of paved walkways. The North Park also has several restrooms, benches, and shaded pavilions to rest your legs on and/or escape the heat. It also has numerous pavilions, baseball and soccer fields, fishing piers, and even several "Petanque" courts (a French game like Bocce Ball). WILDLIFE: There are alligators and snakes (Water Moccasins, Cotton Mouths, Pygmy Rattlesnakes) in the adjacent Lake Osborne that runs down the eastern side of the campground, but we didn't see any during our visit. There are also lots of Waterbirds that fish and hunt along the banks of the lake as well as a small family flock of "domesticated" Muscovy Ducks and numerous squirrels that patrol the campground like panhandlers looking for food scraps and handouts. RESTROOMS/SHOWERS BUILDINGS: There are four of these inside the campground but we only used and looked inside the one directly across from our site #46 (see interior photos), but it was super clean, spacious, and we never had to wait for a toilet or shower stall because the campground was only 5% occupied. It had one ADA compliant toilet and shower stall (both Men's and Women's sides), as well three non-handicapped toilets and stalls. Water pressure was fair to good during our stay, and there was always hot water. My only "gripes" about this restroom facility were that it was not air conditioned and didn’t have a ventilation fan, the shower stalls didn’t have enough shelf space to put your clothes and ditty bag on while you showered, and the sinks had those annoying water saving push-buttons on the spigots. Were it not for these three (somewhat) minor gripes above, I would rate this campground as 5 versus 4 stars. EVEN THE WIFI HERE WAS EXCELLENT! SECURITY: The campground is gated (with security cameras), and the security gate swing arms are active 24/7. Upon check-in, you are given a gate code that you have to enter on the keypad whenever you re-enter the park in your vehicle (day or night). We felt completely safe at this place. RATES & RESERVATIONS: We paid 66.67 per night (all taxes and fees included). You can only make reservations 90 days in advance. NEARBY TOURIST ATTRACTIONS: There are at least 10 excellent tourist attractions within a 15 mile radius of the campground that. We went to the Palm Beach Zoo, The Norton Museum of Art, The Manatee Lagoon (Florida Power and Light Visitor Center), The Ocean Inlet Park at Boynton Beach, and the Lake Worth Casino and Boardwalk/Fishing Pier.

This place was recommended as an alternative to the nearby state park because all of their campsites were full. I got a site by the water which was very relaxing. Whoever designed this campground did a great job of making all the the sites easy to pull into! I hadn't planned on doing homework but since they have wifi I was able to get ahead on some assignments. The facilities are clean and the staff was helpful. It was more to camp here than the state park (it was $66 for 1 night) but it was a good alternative and I enjoyed it.
