We went camping here for Cub Scouts. This spot is so clean and spacious. We were shocked at how…read moreclean the bathrooms were. Plenty of restrooms and showers too. Very convenient for a semi glamping experience. Haha. For real. Our first camping experience had outhouses with leaves to help disintegrate the excrement. Seriously! So this is a luxurious experience in comparison. This camp site was also very cautious about checking temperatures and making sure everyone was not sick with Covid. There are electrical outlets at the main pavilion and the biggest restrooms too. We needed an outlet to inflate our air mattress but didn't see the electrical outlet in the restroom until someone told us. The amphitheater is a cool spot inside the camp site. Love the small lake too. We went fishing and it was fun. Someone actually caught a small fish. I wouldn't eat that fish though. Haha. All in all, this was a wonderful experience.

I love it here. Ive been camping here many times and its very nice. However, there is ant piles…read moreeverywhere and I feel like something should be done due to it having a lot of danger. Especially at campsite 8, There was an ant pile almost every 5 feet away from you. It took me about 40 minutes to set up our tents due to having to check if there is an ant pile. Also the bathrooms are bipolar lets say. Somedays clean, somedays dirty and anything like that. However I give it a 5 stars because of the memories. My friend crossing over and having a big sleepover in the tents, playing games, competition, volunteering, and more. It is just so fun and it minimizes all the tings I've complained about earlier because of the amount of fun you are having. I recommend it for sure, just be careful when you use the bathroom and always make sure you are not surrounded by an ant pile.

When I was the executive director of the Hotel Association, I used to recommend this county park to…read morethose seeking a campground (instead of a hotel or motel) in Fort Lauderdale. It is the closest one in the area to Fort Lauderdale Beach. And they offer "primitive" camping, i.e. in a tent, as well as RV/Camper camping plus all the related facilities. But it's been quite some time since I actually visited this park. Located just west of Powerline Road, you wouldn't have any idea that this 40 plus acre park exists unless you were looking for it. There is no entrance fee during the week, so we were able to come and explore for free. The driving road is one way in a big circle around the park. The park is packed with so much to see and do. For nature lovers, it is part of the Birding and Wildlife Trail. The woodland trail entrance starts from the road. It had been raining a lot recently. We decided it might be a bit muddy to walk as we hadn't come prepared to do so. There are lush green grass areas and shady trees in the main area of the park. For the sports enthusiast there is disc golf, volleyball, horseshoes, basketball, and shuffleboard. For the kids there are wide open areas to run around in and playgrounds. We know a family who lives locally who recently visited here one weekend for a mini vacation with their new RV and had a blast here. And one of our fellow yelp elites visits often for disc golf. It's a place that can be enjoyed by locals as well as tourists -- whether you're looking to relax or for recreation. We had a lovely leisurely visit here. When the weather is nice, it is a quiet and peaceful retreat from the traffic and city distractions.

One of the best disc golf courses in south Florida…read more I was at John Easterlin park again just last weekend. A group up to throw 18 holes. I arrived right at 8 when they opened. After checking in its a a small drive around the whole park to the parking for the 1st hole. I was there before the others so I was able to get some practice throws in on their practice hole first. once everyone was there we started the round. There is about 3 water holes, and they are all at the beginning. They arent hard though, it's really about going around the lake. We made it through there fine. after that its a mix of open field joles and others that go through the woods. Almost every hole is doable. I'm not good and I can par most of them. In fact I had 2 birdies that day. The whole course is well maintained. Nothing too fancy but it's taken care of. There are other amenities like a playground, camping, basketball court, and more. But the central attraction to me is the course. Oh, and they have a bonus 19th and 20th holes! Can't beat that.

As a spooky girl, the Banyan tree captured my fancy. It's stood tall and majestic with its hanging vines forming a shelter like structure. At the time of my visit, there were a few ladies sitting under it getting ready for a drumming circle. We watched for a bit before moving on. The park has loop trails. It's easy to follow via the trails app. It's a great place for hikes, long walks or for just taking a break from people. The kids would love it here as well. We walked past a few play grounds and biking trails. I plan on taking the kids back soon for some fun. 10/10 as far as parks are concerned.

There is no shade on the grounds so much of the time was spent standing in the hot sun. Waiting to get into an airboat was a bit chaotic and tiresome. There were shade canopies along the queue but they were not deployed for some reason. Staff seemed a bit disorganized, groups were confused on where to go and given mixed directions from staff members. The experience on the boat was nice and we saw a variety of wildlife. The captain was knowledgeable and spotted alligators quickly. The gator show was fun but short. The host Paul was funny and engaging, the entire audience was captivated. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. Our highlight was getting to hold a baby alligator and knowing that our money was going to one of the only no kill gator rescues!

I had several heavy things I was bringing and it was a long schlep with them. The party was at the water park. I couldn't find it but a nice employee helped me and told me to follow him. We had Funbrella A. It did provide shade. There were about twenty of us. I swam with the kids. I played Marco Polo with them. It was fun. We ate and two and a half hours into the party, it rained. The lifeguards came around to assist with a cart for us to load the things so we could leave. Four of them came around and were super nice. I am giving this park 3 stars because, and I know this sounds odd, but it just feels outdated. The water park area just seems ho-hum. Not exciting. The last time I was at this park was maybe forty years ago when I was a child. Everything looks the same! They do offer a raincheck if it rains within two hours of being there. There are no refunds. Park admission is $3 per car and the water park is $10 per person to get in. I do think they gave my friend the raincheck for our admissions, even though it was slightly over two hours.
