Rally difficult to reserve a campsite here, and I can understand why - it's a great little campground! The campground itself is very well maintained, and the campground hosts are diligent about keeping it neat. There's a nice fishing pier with a great view of the dam. It's also close enough to Fort Myers to easily grocery shop and it's an easy drive to Manatee Park.

Great little park, surrounded by water. Clean bathrooms and large campsites. Unfortunately fishing was horrible! No luck this time!
