Beautiful and restful. Watching boat traffic on the intracoastal and gators doing their thing was just what we needed. Will definitely revisit.

Have camped here for years - always enjoying our time here. This time driving to our site within the park we hit several low hanging tree branches on two different trees hanging over the road. This resulted in damage to the roof & solar panels. While we were there we witnessed two other RVs hit the same branches, the campground host also informed us that he has seen other RVs hit the same branches. When we left four days later the branches still have not been removed. It would take less than 10 minutes to correct this, they just dont care !!! Now we are left with the repair cost to fix the damage - Wont be returning to this campground.

We had a nice stay. It was extremely hot but that comes with this time of year.
The Camp Hostess was a very friendly and pleasant lady.
The Camp Host, her husband was very distant to everyone, certainly not a friendly fella.
In their defense, they are trying to cover the entire camp 24/7 without another Camp Host.

Thanks for a great place to relax and chill!
