Site was nice but very close to the lake. We were one of the only ones there and it is quite terrifying. You hear splashing every 20 or 30 minutes or so that can only come from alligators and when we woke up there was an eight alligator 10 ft from our tent. He didn't back down and run away either just sat and watched us waiting for our dog to come close. It was a great experience I suppose but make sure you are prepared to be near alligators if you come here.
I'm used to more primitive/wilderness camping, but was pleased by this campground. It's nice that the RVs are across the lake, you hardly notice them as a tent-camper. The tent sites are set up where vegetation borders a pair of sites, so you will have privacy on one side, but your neighbors will be in view on the other side. The whole loop is only about 0.5mi, perfect for a morning stroll. We had white-eyed vireos singing at our site in January! And we saw a small gator in the lake.
Mosquitoes were not great though, even in January... can't imagine it in the summer!
Very nice, calm and nature like campground. Only 4 stars because no cell phone access.
Very quiet, not too crowded, hosts were helpful and friendly, didn’t see any gators or bears. The bugs got really bad right after sundown, but fortunately we had a screened in awning. What are you gonna do? That’s camping in the Everglades. Overall had a great experience.
