Love coming here for a relaxing stay. The hosts are friendly, the bath house clean, and the water and electric hookups well maintained. This time there were zillions of flying insects, but not too surprising since it is early summer and very warm. This location is just a few short miles to Caloosahatchee Regional Park and that offers biking and hiking (on the North side of River Road) and a nice park with a walking trail and picnic facilities on the South side. Close to Babcock Ranch if you like to try a restaurant meal and a stroll around the Square. There is a Publix now on the South side of the community, only a few miles from the campground. Right in the campground there is fishing and boating for guests. Enjoy!

Park needs Wi-fi. And laundry needs to come back. It was a nice service a few years ago.

We landed the best site! We had front row seats to the best sunsets, dolphin playing and feeding, a Momma duck with her six chicks, The weather was great with a cool breeze at night.

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.
