Sites are directly on the water and are angled very nicely. Park is clean and could not have been happier..

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.

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

Nice campground, clean, only bad is entrance road, way too many speed bumps, 8 speed bumps from turn off from main road, 3 would be adequate from the bridge to check in, RV destroyer, must crawl over them at 0 speed and still very jarring, even without RV attached, especially heavy duty trucks, I believe they are trying to deter the public using the free boat launch facility, which on the weekends are totally packed, parking all they way to the main road, solution would be to barricade with a guard rail to the entrance road all the way to the main road, non registered guest should be charged at least a $20 boat launch fee

We normally love staying at the locks. We were harassed by the volunteer. We were just getting set up and had my dogs tied up and were harassed that it wasn't short enough leash. Then we had friends come with there fishing boat and my husband was going fishing but because the boat wasn't moved quick enough every 2 minutes we were told to move it. The volunteer was just really not nice person.
