The road to this campsite is sharp rock 3-6 inches in diameter with no where to turn around. One sharp rock wedged between my duel tires on my motorhome and poked through my outer tire creating a big hole. Did not notice this immediately because other tire held me up. I did complain to host about the road incoming and they said Florida does not plan to fix or pave road. I would rethink this campsite. Cost me $350.00 new tire and almost had to buy a second one because the rock rubbed a wear facet into the inside tire. Tire store said still good but would have blown out if I waited any longer.

The road into the facility has significant rough spots, so it’s slow going. The camp hosts are attentive and friendly. The campsites are spacious, with a nice trail around the lake. It was a lovely spot to spend a few days. There was plenty of space to maneuver and park our 36 ft big rig.

What a hidden gem! And “hidden” is the word. The road in is a mess! Go very slow and easy but the lake is a lovely, swimmable inland lake. The camp host greeted us right away and was fun to visit with as we settled in. Peaceful beautiful setting. Only water/electric at site. No dump station I can remember seeing. Bath house was clean.

Great lakeside campsite with water and 30amp service. Paved drive, picnic table and fire ring, all very nice. Large trees, great trails, great campground hosts. Early in season, so we didn't use the beach, but very nice too.

This campground site was without water or electric service. Showers were nice, public water was available.

Great scenery, quiet, and great volunteer hosts. This is a true wilderness camping experience with all the comforts like water and power and a level site. Road into campground needs a little attention though.
