The campground itself is not bad, a little close to the highway and limited tree cover are things to keep in mind. We stayed in the tent slotted areas ( space 6 which directly faces spot 7) The lake is nice and we the gators don’t seem to be othering anyone.
Our issue was within the camp management. We were a family of 6 looking to relax and have some family time. When we arrived there was no one really to check in with so we set up or camp on our site and settled in. Our neighbors at spot 7 showed up at 9:30pm, began playing loud music and setting up their tent. campgrounds quiet hours were posted from 10pm to 6am but no one addressed them except my husband who asked them to turn Down the music.They proceeded to party until 2am. We all got very little sleep. There was an RV I assume belong to campground administrators immediately behind there spot but no one ever addressed them.
The next night they again partied until 2am, were throwing gasoline on a lit fire, playing music, invited a couple of friends to the campground ,and even brought out guns to pass around while drinking and smoking weed.
My husband is in the army (so no stranger to firearms ) and was completely shocked. We had 4 kids sleeping in a tent maybe 50 ft away from these people and literally packed up and left at 2am in the morning. So not sure who is in charge but obviously someone needs to be, absolutely ruined what was a pretty fun weekend.

Nice campsite, but make sure you arrive in daylight, as it is very difficult to find your way around where the different campsites are in the dark. There is only a little light at one toilet building and the other is in complete darkness.

Seeing milkway in Florida is dream becoming true. Fantastic place! Restroom is very clean. The camp site is small and quiet at night. Bug is the only problem even in November. I brought thermacell with me, wearing long sleeves and pants, but bugs were fierce even at midnight. My neighbors had a lot of fun outside, It seemed they had bug spray and made big fire in fire pit . There was
a satellite tower nearby, so cellphone had very strong signal. The one suggestion I would bring up to the preserve is pls dimming the restroom outside light. I was tent camper, I had to go to rv site to do stargazing.

The campground is amazing, my kids loved it, and surprisingly my wife did too! The campground is beautiful and is also amazing for fishing for bass, gar, etc. The mosquitoes won’t be a problem as long as you bring a ThermaCell or repellent. Solid 9/10 from my family!
