John Prince Park Campgrounds

Woah! John Prince Park was really nice! I wasn’t sure what to expect since it was marked as a «campground» and it located right next to I-​95. We drove in and found the park grounds to be well maintained, lots of shade and a long paved bike path. There were plenty of pavillions and playgrounds too. There were a few pavillions rented out, but it the nice thing is that the pavillions are not set right on top of each other, but spread out and a bit more private.
As we were stolling through the park, we saw a couple boat launches, campsites (tents and RVs) and a few short hiking trails. We took a short hike on the Custard Apple Trail, which snakes through a hammock, then opens up. This trail has a few smaller loops, looped togetehr to make a larger trail, so you can switch it up to make it a bit longer or just take a shorter loop. It was definitely sunny once you broke through, so definitely bring a hat or sunblock.
Overall a really enjoyable park with expansive green space. Worthy checking out, especilly to bike around with friends or the fam. Would be an execllent location for a park pavillion party!

This review is for the playground/​splash park area. My entire diaper bag with my car keys, house keys, cell phone and wallet was stolen right behind my back. It was a very busy Saturday and there were tons of kids and families, I was very careful about placing my things in an area that felt safe. I kept my eye on my bag for a long time and as soon as I turned around someone opened my duffel bag and pulled out the diaper bag and took off. Another lady saw it happen but didn’t say anything to the thief (s) and wouldn’t help the cops identify the suspect as she said she didn’t want to get involved. I was literally stranded with my 16 month old with no way to call anyone, no car keys to leave and no house keys. Please be careful here. I would just skip it.

Great campground, well maintained, lots of water, wildlife, biking, walking, and running trails. Nice laundry facility, friendly staff, convenient to beach.

This is a nice park with very reasonable rates during the winter. It’s not a far drive to the beaches either. The 14 day sites don’t have septic but the dump station is very easy to get in and out of unlike some parks. There are nice trails all through the park itself outside of the campground. We will definitely come back again.

Pretty clean. Nice place to bring your kids… They also have water play here. A lot of family come here and have mini party’s.
You can also fish on the lake. They also got a baseball flied

Great park on the lake… Campground is fantastic…

John Prince Park is a county park located just West of I-​95 in Palm Beach. The park’s attractions include walking & biking trails, pavilions, baseball fields and volleyball pits; but the main attraction is Lake Osbourne. The lake is located in the middle of a suburban area and cannot possibly be larger than 200 acres, yet it is wildly popular with jet skiers and water sports enthusiasts. Why?
South Florida is surrounded by water, fresh and salt; and much of this water is navigable, even for powerboats. But, there are very few fresh water lakes that allow powerboats. For this reason, my family would often make the 50 mile trek north from Pembroke Pines, just to spend the day water skiing. It is extremely busy on the weekends; definitely keep a close eye out for heavy boat traffic and downed boarders in the water. After entering the lake, navigable waterways are nearly endless to the south with narrow canals expanding to the south, east, and west. Admission is free and there is no fee to use the ramp.
