I think it would be nice if the picnic table area was free of ants and debris. It looked like it had sat there a while. Other than that we love it there it’s beautiful. The bathrooms were clean. Showers were nice shower curtains were clean and the people that take care of it to good job.

Lovely quaint park on the river. Excellent place to fish and launch into the water. Perfect place to stay when visiting SWFL. Thanks to the volunteer hosts, Barbara and Mike, the park is pristine. They ensured everyone's security and handled details of checking in/out and typical campsite challenges quickly and with care.

Quiet secluded location with natural river surroundings. Very serene except occasional boat noise from locals who visit for free, but it's always temporary.

What an absolutely marvelous campground. There is nowhere else in the area that compares. I could use a few less speed bumps on the road in, but once you get there you don't want to leave.

The park is one of the best-maintained properties we’ve stayed at. Thank you for taking pride in your work! Everything was clean, well cared for, and in great condition. It’s obvious the staff puts a lot of effort into keeping the park looking its best. We really appreciated the attention to detail and would definitely stay here again.

Great time as always. The only difference this time was the host was constantly watching everyone. It made us feel very uncomfortable. We had our car wheel on the corner of the grass for two minutes and the host called my personal phone to tell me to move it. I thought there was sn emergency or something!!

Site 10 is one of the best sites around. While it was hot while we were there, this site gave us an inordinate amount of shade to make it comfortable being outside. The wildlife and waterfall with this place is so much fun to watch and the good thing is it’s in our backyard. We will be back soon. Highly recommend.

I really enjoy coming to this campground. Relaxing and a beautiful location. One issue that I noticed since my last visit to this campground is all the speed bumps they have now installed. To get in here you have to cross at least 7 speed bumps!!! Very excessive if you ask me. Not to mention these speed bumps are not good for our campers to cross over every 10 yards. I can only imagine a full Class A going over all these bumps. Pleas remove some of them, having this many in a short distance is not good for our suspension systems on our campers.
Overall this is still my favorite go to when I want to get away for the weekend!!
