Great place to unwind and watch boats on the river. Always a quite and clean campground with friendly hosts. It would be great if they installed an electronic keypad for the after hours gate instead of having a combination padlock. Love this COE!

Great place to unwind, close to grocery store ( Publix ) along with Walgreens, just off Interstate 75. Short drive into downtown Ft Myers with entertainment and dining. Also close to Edison Home and Ford Estate.

It's a beautiful place. Lots of wildlife. We saw a manatee, porpoises, dolphins, schools of fish, night herons, little blue herons and eagles. It's quiet with spacious sites. We'll be back!!!

It was our first time at this Campground. We live just up the road in Arcadia and decided to take a 2 night trip to make sure everything was running alright before we head up North for a couple of months. We chose site #11 which is a pull-thru and parallels the Caloosahatchee River. What a great site ... We watched boats coming and going through the locks and saw birds hunting for fish. A very relaxing couple of days with great views. The staff at the office were very helpful and friendly when we arrived as well. We will definitely be coming back again. The entire Campground was well maintained.
