It is very dark in the park. Might be helpful to have some solar lighting.

D-10 had a great view of the canal and Tugs passing by. The pad was low in the middle which caused a small pond under our trailer after a rain. That was the only negative to our stay. Fortunately, we were able to sweep most of the water off the side of the pad and it didn't interfere with entrance to camper.

Wonderful Huge Campsite right on the water, Beautiful Sunset. I loved the location, plenty of room to sit up a volleyball net and let the kids ride around in their power wheels car. We did arrive after dark and couldn't find the water hook up until the next morning lol. It is on the other side of the campsite away from the electric hook up. We had to use 2 hoses to reach. We saw an alligator, and our kids were fascinated. We will definitely camp here again and bring our boat next time.

They grill was not cleaned out from previous camper. The fire pit had some unburned items in it. I wish they would clean bathrooms daily! The hand dryers didn’t work at all. They did last year!

We were in section D. Campsites were well-spaced. It rained almost the whole time, but we were able to walk in the park a little. Other camping areas (B and C) were not well-maintained. There was only 1 open dumpster for trash, none with lids. We stayed 3 nights, never saw a park attendant although vehicles were parked in the host space. We will probably not return.

Motor boats should be restricted to no wake around close to the campground. They are obnoxiously noisy. 9 A has a water and electric site too far to reach even with an extension cord. It is grounded in that loop anyway and it should be left open.
