We have such a good time camping here. We are in the full hook up side. Very quite. Plenty of trails. And plenty of gators to see. We will be back again. Has firepits and picnic tables.
We enjoyed 6 miles of hiking and geocaching at the park. We saw alligators, wild boar, deer, and several birds. There is an outpost with a store, boat tours, bike rentals, and restrooms. The food truck was closed. We were very happy we had packed our lunch as the closest food is back at route 75. The staff were informative and nice. The tree canopy was fun. Watch for birds. Definitely recommend.
Nice park lots to do
Great place but the administrative staff couldn’t find their way out of a clear plastic bag, and the reservation “process” is terrible.
Great park with natural beauty. Good hiking trails.
