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.

Excellent campsite, beautiful view and incredibly priced. It's a shame that tent camping is limited to 3 nights.

This was a tremendous park. We were fortunate enough to get the waterfront site but had to move half way through the stay, which honestly was kinda fun seeing the other end. Spots on the water side at least are very spaced out and we had a ton of room. The location of the park couldn’t be beat and you felt very secluded but all stores and 95 are about 1-2 miles away. Staff is amazing and when you hook they will help you. The park was quiet, tons of wildlife, and we felt safe with security roaming. We actually booked again for when we come back through!

Absolutely gorgeous. We saw more wildlife here than we did on an airboat ride or at a sanctuary. The grounds are clean and well kept. Showers and restrooms as well as full hookups. I can highly recommend this camp ground. It was well located to quick access to freeway and shopping. We had a wonderful time. Helpful staff was there to not only answer the phone, but answer any questions we had. Thanks guys, and gals.

Great last minute overnight when I realized I had messed up our reservations! Kids had fun in the playground. Tons of spots and they had room for last minute travelers. Our site had 50 Amp electric & water. Dump station on site.

I have a hard time digesting the fact that they dont allow conversion /camper vans. I had to ask the same question 3 different ways to try to make sense of it and I still don't get it. I work / travel up and down the eastern seaboard and have stayed at dozens of campgrounds over the past 3 years and never came across this B.S. before. Here's my van at other campgrounds.

We have been staying here for 10 years… staff is wonderful. The park is kept nice and tidy. Our only suggestion is they need a second laundry for the size/population that winter here. One on both sides of the park would be appropriate, you can never get laundry done w/o having to wait for a washer.
Amanda Smith
The campground is really nice. They have a nice park for the kids and the laundry facilities are good. I read reviews about only half of the washers and dryers working but during our stay only one dryer was out of order. The staff, however, could use some training in how to effectively communicate with customers. I witnessed multiple occasions where office staff talked down to guests.

Great, great spaces for RV! Loved being within feet of the water and surprisingly quiet for a campground that was full. I will definitely visit here again!
