Our site was huge with room for two or three large tents. Restroom was cleaned frequently with good hot water. Potable water faucets were well spaced. Downside was you had to pay for each canoe or kayak you wanted to paddle down the spring run. Also the shuttle service was canceled indefinitely so you had to have a second car at the takeout. As in many scrub oak areas, make sure you have a favorite tick repellent since they were just hatching and were everywhere. Had there not been any issues with canoeing or kayaking the spring run, this would have been a 5 star. We did however go to Alexander Springs run and paddled upstream as far as the launch in that recreation area.

Very large site that has a great back area that is secluded from neighbors. Grounds are well kept as are most Florida parks. Short drive to several other park and springs in the area. Clean bathrooms.

The area is a beautiful place. However, lots of people also know that. The campground has lots of shade. They have paved the roads and pad sites to cut down on erosion. However, the area was not meant to support the amount of people that come and visit. They had to cut off most of the showers except 1 each in order to maintain water pressure. Several of the bathrooms were closed. The spring area has been so well used that almost all native aquatic vegetation is gone. Green algae is mostly what is present just downstream of the swimming area. The spring run downstream is still pretty. But this is once again an area that has been loved to death by people.

I was a little concerned about the tick activity based on previous reviews. It was cool with lows in the 40s and highs in low 70’s. The trails were well-maintained and did not have any ticks. The park has a fantastic accessible canoe kayak launch site. I expect that bug activity would increase when temperatures are higher based on the vegetation.

Princess Place Park is a great place to visit. See previous reviews. Another great place to visit is Washington Oaks Gardens State Park. 

When we got to our site there was a large camper already there. They were off by one number and mistakenly took ours. We decided to take their spot and if necessary move to our assigned spot later in the week. Both sites were well shaded, site 33- their site, had a bit of a slope. Site 34-our site was very level. Lots to do and no bugs at this time of year.

Great place- some of the sites are more shady than others.  Well maintained.  Multiple loops for tents, small campers/RVs and large RVs.  Campground pass also provides access to beach portion of park.
