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.
