Great little campground. Our site (#2) did not have any shade but we used our awnings and did just fine. The sites in our loop were large with nice space between sites. The grounds are very well maintained. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We were disappointed that the bridge was locked but it was not the fault of the campground. A very relaxing, peaceful experience.

This is a very peaceful place to come if you want a relaxing, quiet camping experience. The campsites are well maintained and the bathhouses are kept in good repair. The electric and water at each site work well. The bath house on the East end is much smaller and there is little privacy when showering. The West end facility is much larger. They are using a sub-contractor to clean the facilities, and for the most part they are kept up well. We did have to mention to the host about an issue with cleaning the facilities, but it was cared for the next day. Speaking of hosts, they are friendly and responsive to comments from guests. It would be nice if they had an on-site ice sales, but they are quite a ways out in the country so it might be hard to get a vendor to supply it. They now have a solar powered phone charger at each end. The site map showed a wi-fi station but we did not see it. There are repairs being made on some of the walkways and at the moment you are restricted from walking across the little bridge. If you just want to chill out (NOT referring to temps), come visit this facility and bring a good book.

One of our favorite places .... love the campground and seeing the boats go by. The LaBelle area is great and it's not too far from Ft. Myers.

This is my local "go to place in Florida!" Just need to figure out how to catch some fish. The local bait area is more than a few miles away and Walmart can't keep it on the shelves.

Beautiful, peaceful and scenic location but small and therefore very hard to get a reservation. Would definitely use in the future if available.
