Not a campground but a retirement/living place/trailer park. Basically Larry and Penny Thompson had the vision of turning state parks in to living residence, sarcastic right. They wanted to preserve park and nature, that was their vision. Also, don't believe everything on their website, tent reservations are close not due to renovation but due to winter reservations, they prioritize winter /long stay /snow bird reservations. This is what camping has become in florida, not for fun ,not for adventure. I will highly encourage state representatives to fix the future of camping and to use tax money in parks not living residence. Save state and county parks.
This is the nicest RV park. Super clean. Level and paved spots. Modern electrical and blackwater dump at each site. Many on site laundry and bathroom facilities. Clean bathrooms with nice toilets and urinals. Very safe for kids and scooter riding and dog walking. Kids playing, neighbors visiting. Not over priced for what you get. Excellent value.
Beautiful, peaceful and quiet! I walked 3 miles without realizing it because I was just enjoying nature. There are so many different types of birds there and I saw the largest raccoons I've ever seen before!
Not really happy with this location. We.have been camping for years, and never have we been to a camp ground that closed bath houses at night. No bathroom facilities available from 10 pm until 6 am, and the rangers are not friendly. Pool was supposed to be open Wednesday to Sunday 10 am until 5 pm. We were there on a Wednesday & Thursday and those days the pool was closed. Front office staff was GREAT. Very kind and friendly.
Lots of long term folks.
Good place to stop on the way to the keys, but I would probably just drive straight.
