Sweet remote spot in the backcountry. Great fishing area, 6-7 mile paddle from Chokoloskee. The facility is very nice, deck planks are solid and the roof did not leak during a night of heavy rain. The columns are the perfect width to hang a hammock. Lotta mosquitoes in November lol

First time camper. It was a great night. Recommend an air mattress though. Also lots of spiders at the top of chickee. Overall can't wait to book it this year!!!

I don't think I could ever convince my boyfriend to go back. The outhouse is way too close to the sleeping space; the wafting smell was a no-go.
