This is a great well maintained COE campground. This was our second visit and it’s really a wonderful park. Bathroom was very clean. Camp hosts are doing a great job.

This is such a beautiful, peaceful campground. Easy in and out, great sites and so beautifully maintained. If you like to fish, this is your place. You are just minutes from a Publix and gas stations. Great hiking a few miles down the road Caloosahatchie Regional park. 20 minutes to Fort Myers. I cannot recommend this park enough!

We had spots 9 & 10 for the weekend in late March. Weather was perfect. We sat under the big oak trees and enjoyed the Spring Breezes and beautiful scenery. We saw some Tarpon rolling through a couple of times.
I think the spots we had were perfect and probably the best 2 in the park, but they are all good honestly. Sunset on the bench at the end of our spots was awesome! A lot of other campers came through our sites at sunset to get down to the bench and shelter on the water, but it was only for sunset, and it did not bother us. Bathrooms were very clean, and the campground host was very nice and extremely helpful. Mountain biking trails just down the road at CRP. We enjoyed the trails every day we stayed here. Will be back again soon!
