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!!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

The speed bumps going into the park is overkill!!!!! They are terrible for RV suspension!!! Take some out, no way you need that many or how about getting decent ones that aren’t so rough in our suspension system. They are like having pipes across the road and going over them. We hear boats slamming down on their trailers also when they slowly go over them. I dread it every single time we go there!!!!! Please take 3/4 of them out, save our suspensions. At least you did fix them and install them properly instead of going across the road staggered now they are in a straight line. Now take some out!!!!
