Lovely campground on the Caloosahatcha River at one of the locks. Site had cement pad and covered picnic table. Great boat watching. LaBelle Brewery is a must stop. Great food and beer—patio is dog friendly. Camp hosts went above and beyond.

We absolutely love this campground. This is our 4th time coming and we can't wait to plan our next trip again. It's so relaxing and so quiet. It's a very peaceful place. Everyone is so nice. We enjoy going fishing with our family and taking evening strolls. We also enjoy going to the Blueberry Bunch Farm to hand pick blueberries and the Dollar General Market that is near by. Our family highly recommends this campground to anyone. It's a hidden gem.

Park has nice size sites. Watch the boats travel through the locks. Fishing is it for things to do but interesting place to camp.

This is a perfect campground if you are looking for peace and quiet. There is not a lot to do here unless you like to fish.

Campground is very well run by current hosts. They are always available to answer any questions or try their best to solve any problems which arise. Campground is neat and clean. The only downside is the continuing problem with the East bathroom and showers which have been unavailable on several occasions we have utilized the park.
