We had a beautiful spot right next to the lake! Awesome sunsets! The bathhouse was clean but had no heat in the shower area, so super cold when we needed a shower before leaving. Nice trail around the lake for a quick pre-dinner hike.

A very nice, small, lake side campground. We took a nice hike around the lake and counted the little plastic Gnomes that the camp Host had hidden along the path. We had fun and we didn't even have grand children with us (LOL).
Both camp hosts were very friendly.
The only down side was the very rough road getting into the campground.

Quiet, relaxing small campground. Enjoyed the walk around the lake. Chose not to swim in the lake with reported alligators. Did not see any alligators! Campground hosts, very helpful,

We loved staying here. The road leading to the campsite is terrible and hard on any vechile but it is so worth it for this little piece of paradise. Rick the host and his wife is amazing and very kind. He made sure to check on us everyday and give love to our pets. The trail around the lake is super easy to walk and has beautiful wildlife. Rick put gnomes out to go gnome hunting to keep the walk interesting which was great and we did the gnome hunt every day. It was such a fun thing to do to get us outside. We loved it here.

Great place to stay - Great trail to walk around the lake but watch for the gnomes (LOL) - one of the host set some along the trail. They have a beach if you like to swim with the gators. They do have gators. the restroom and showers are dated but the host keep them clean. The only thing to beware of is the road into the campground from the main road - lots of pot holes and hunters during hunter season who like to use the road since they can hunt from the road (they use dogs to bring the game to them) - Other wise a great place to stay and we will keep this one in our list to use again. All sites are pretty level or semi level and about half have electric/water and the other do not.
