We loved the campground and hosts. However, we camped across from from the restroom to take advantage of the showers. The showers were closed within a few days because ??. Someone did steal a shower head. People were allowed in and out of the park during the day to fish. Unfortunately a few of these persons were suspect to trashing the bathrooms. Loved seeing the locks, birds, and other wildlife near this area, but probably would not stay here again due to the aforementioned problem.

We have returned here several times, and we’re never disappointed. The campground is well kept and quiet. It is interesting to watch the folks fishing and boats going through the locks. Ft. Myers is an easy drive for a day trip, and LaBellle is closeby for supplies. The sunsets are spectacular. You won’t be disappointed!
