Site are close together but everyone was very nice and friendly and pretty much kept to themselves unless you approached them. Sites have picnic tables. Full hook ups.
My site was tight backing in so I made it a pull through haha. Had to level the trailer. Good location but very populated and busy area.
Good cell coverage for Verison and ATT if you need to work.

My site was on the lake; bird watching was great; spacious and mostly shaded sites; restrooms were clean and showers included bench, plastic mat, large fan, well ventilated and very good water pressure; lots of areas to walk or jog; good paved roads; centrally located to shopping; easy access; right next to golf course; was early and since my site was empty I was allowed to check-in; if you are on lake you can launch your kayak or canoe directly from your campsite; free wifi good most of the time; quiet and campers were very friendly and helpful.

We had a boy’s (my dad, my son {7}, and me) Memorial Day Weekend (05/28-30/2021) at John Prince Campground. This was our first time there. The park is only 45 minutes from home but it was more than an hour and a half due to I-95 holiday traffic.
Once we arrived at the park, I noticed the signage that leads to the campground area. The signs were obvious and well placed making it easy as a first timer there. The guard gate to enter the park has plenty of parking while you register. If you have all the documents they require, which will be in your confirmation email, the check-in process is seamless and quick. The ranger was very helpful during the check-in. The campground has a gated and secured entrance (code provided in confirmation email and ranger writes it on your parking pass) completely separated from the rest of the park (it’s an island, sort of). The campground has two areas adjacent to each other; 14 day limit (short term) and a long term. Both areas provide full service at the sites.
Once we entered the campground, we just followed the directions the ranger gave us towards our site; site 94. Our site is a back-in on the lake. I was surprised how leveled the site is. The leveling system barely adjusted the rig. That area of the campground has the sites a bit closer to each other but still with enough distance between them. I loved the view with the lake behind us, specially during sunrise. The best thing is that there is plenty of shade at the rear of the site during the late afternoon; great to sit and enjoy the boats, people tubing, fishing, and jet skies on the lake. The site has full hookups; all worked well. There is also a connection for cable tv but I got more channels, and with better image, with the over-the-air antenna (I do have a booster, not sure if it made a big difference).
During this stay we remain in the campground area. We did not explore the rest of the park. The campground had many large trees throughout which provide shade. Unfortunately there are many sites which don’t have shade most of the day, including the one we were in. The South Florida sun beats down hard. There are several playgrounds for children (very important with a seven year old), bathhouses (older but very clean), which some were closed due to COVID-19, and several large communal campfire areas. It is to be noted that the park is adjacent to an airport with small planes, helicopters, and paramotors. The air traffic is only during the day time which I was not bothered by it. It was actually enjoyable to watch while enjoying the outdoors. I did not see or heard any air traffic during the evenings. The lake appears to be “THE” spot to be with boaters, jet skiers, and kayakers. There is activity on the water all day and into the evening but not too late.
Our quick get-away at John Prince Park was successful. We enjoyed the campground. We will definitely be returning and take advantage of the rest of the park next time. I feel this park would be a great nearby getaway for us. We felt safe throughout our stay. We saw park rangers and the sheriff’s office driving in the area. Overall, everyone we came into contact with was very pleasant and friendly. John Prince Park is a great location to go camping. We are looking forward to our next visit. I feel that you would enjoy it too.

It’s actually sad that hundreds of families use this Campground. Our site is in the front, (their map is incorrect) so EVERY SINGLE CAR AND TRUCK coming and going drove by w/i 10 feet of us. We are surrounded by campers. To top it off, they border a municipal airport w helicopters & planes coming & going all day.
We were told we could see the water, & we can but there’s a busy street and neighborhood across the lake.
Plus side: best showers ever! Lots of pressure, open-air louvered doors, private showers, lots of hot water, clean.

Just beautiful!
We checked in Thursday afternoon & out Sunday. Check in at the guard gate was fairly easy - you are asked for your vehicle registration - fortunately I had it scanned & accessible on my phone! Oops I forgot the paper version lol.
The grounds are immaculate with loads of wildlife: variety of water foul-but not a TON of ducks so very little muck, iguanas, oh and the occasional alligator! We kept the doggies away from the water’s edge, they make a great gator snack & are very fast.
The extra $2 for water side was well worth it. The electric hookup has a light that comes on at dusk. Electric, Water spigot, & sewer hook up are reasonably spaced all on one side with smooth blacktop spaces. A sturdy metal & wood picnic table is at each spot as well. However, the spaces are not very level. We maxed out our stabilizer drop downs & realized we probably should invest in some of those ramp blocks lol.
It is fairly quiet, in the middle of a HUGE, 726 acre, beautiful park with all types of fields, dog parks, brackish lakes & rivers etc. Great fishing.
Only downside that posed a minor issue at first, backing in can be tricky even for our small RV with a great turning radios with our Jeep. Easy pull out though. Our entry faced another entry at the end of the road with about 8’ across from each other. A 32’ C class had to drive onto our grass to get into his space - we had to close our awning so he could squeeze in. Other than that, no biggie, challenges make life interesting! 😉
We could hear planes from a small local airport (no commercial flights that we noticed) helicopters & small single engine planes on occasion.
The staff are very kind & unobtrusive, they are not concerned about anything unless you are causing disruption. They have frequent security that roams about all night, some throughout the day. We were across from a boat ramp. I know there were public bathrooms but we didn’t use or visit them, the peeps next to our space did and said they were very clean.
The huge dog parks are on the other side of the park, across a major road, at least a mile away. They are huge and well kept.
We will definitely be back! We loved it.

Beautiful 301 site campground within a larger county park. My opinion that it was a super campground hobbled by a terrible office was echoed by other campers we met. One of which told me a number of horror stories about the office. Of the four staff members seen in the tiny office, only the one male seemed competent or caring. Check in procedures require campers to bring in physical copies of Motor Vehicle registration slips and photos of the construction inspection certification emblems of their camper and photos of tags. Upon check in I received no welcome or maps or directions. Streets had no directional signage as to site numbers. However the campground in very well maintained and equipped.

The only reason I did not give five stars was because the campground had a power outage and we were without power during dinner and were unable to cook dinner then again in the morning while we were packing to leave. This was a big inconvenience. Considering we paid for electric you think they would have been willing to give us some type of discount for our stay. Nope! Otherwise it would have been 5 stars. Also, wifi was non-existent.

This was probably the best overall value we've had from a campground. It was clean, spots were spaced well. We stayed right on the lake. There were two playgrounds for the kids, and really nice road for the kids to ride their bikes on. I'd plan a trip back to the area just to stay here again!

We booked 2 nights and we're very relieved to have a place to stay besides cracker barrel which has been wonderful. We are driving through Florida on a whim late Feb. Absolutely NO place to camp. Cracker Barrel has been excellent. But we were ready for some down time and hook ups. We arrived to check in and they turned us away because we have a conversion trailer!!! So all you conversion campers you will not be allowed in. He told me I never told him it was a conversion, I never thought it would be an issue. And it never crossed my mind. So disappointed, it looks like a beautiful park. Would have enjoyed our stay there I think. Sorry to leave one star but had to give a star rating. I want other conversion campers to be aware.
