John Prince Park, Lake Worth FL

I've seen this park mentioned in posts about going south, but nothing specific in the way of a review so I'll post one.

We stayed here for 2 weeks while visiting friends and family in the area. It's very convenient to I-95 (exit 63) and right in the middle of the Palm Beaches area. Convenient to most everything, but there is not much within walking distance as far as groceries or supplies. Enterprise on Congress Ave in PB - about 4 miles away - picks up at the park.

We had a pull through site on the airport side (small planes - no jets) and enjoyed watching the comings and goings. Sites are big enough for most rigs and a car or tow vehicle. If you pick the airport side so you can watch planes, just be aware that the perimeter growth around the airport hides the airport from most campsites. There are also lake front sites as well as several circles in the middle. The campground is well maintained by Palm Beach County and the facilities are clean and numerous. We had an issue with a hot ground that I reported on Sunday, and the electrician was there 8am Monday.

Unless you're a Palm Beach County resident, you cannot make reservations more than 90 days in advance. We did so at 89 days and got a spot for the 2 weeks around Thanksgiving. However, I did notice walking around that the turnover is moderate and there always seemed to be sites open.

Water 50 amp electric and sewer at most sites. No cable, but you can get Miami and Palm Beach digital stations OTA on the Winegard. The WiFi in non-existent in the back. We just used out hotspot. Verizon cell service is 3-4 bars.

There are a couple of playgrounds and some pickle ball courts, and there are several bike trails and a boat launch ramp. There's also a doggy fit trail, but my mini-schnauzer had a fit when I took him there :). Then there's the whole John Prince Park for picnics, playing ball and a golf driving range. It's seems to be very popular with the Canadians. About half the sites are from Quebec or Ontario.

All in all, it was a relaxing 2 weeks. I got some work done on the bus, the locals were all friendly and fairly quiet, and I got to have Thanksgiving dinner with family even though we're on the road.

Personally I think this is one of the best RV resorts with some of the lowest costs anywhere in the country. Great location close to everything. Spotless, quiet and very friendly.

Update on the hot ground issue. They discovered that the problem was in the utility's equipment and they actually evacuated the row back by the airport. They upgraded us to a lake front site at no additional charge. They only bad thing about this is that the residential types already had Christmas decorations up and had quite the tear down.
