The restrooms and showers were not cleaned as well as previous visits.

There were pads available but the website showed fully booked.

Overall we love this campsite only wish we could get a space more often.

Very nice park. Friendly hosts and clean areas. Spots are a little close, but all have a water view. Ft Myers is not far for sightseeing

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.
