The campground was well kelp. The only thing I noticed was a little more trash in the area. In other campsites I’m always picking up anything that doesn’t belong on the ground and putting it in the next trash can. The lack of any trash cans seems to contribute to more small pieces of trash on the ground, because there’s no place to put it if your just walking.

Very nice campground. VERY remote. Over 30 mins to ANY supplies (ice, etc). Nice paved trail. All the of laundry rooms were locked, "for use of staff only". A sad trend in this region of COE campgrounds.

This was a very nice quiet campground. It ws very well maintained with groomed sites and clean showers. It was off the "beaten path" as most COE campgrounds.

I think it would be a good idea to have signs posted to let visitors know there are alligators in the water. I know it explains that in the messages when you book a site but still it would be a good reminder, especially to those with small children and pets!

The campground was mowed and the best I’ve ever seen it. It’s a nice quiet place to camp

We love this park. Always have. It was good to see that the Corps is rebuilding the Kiddie Pond and back camp area. This park is always kept clean and stays busy, especially in the Spring fishing season.
