Small, quiet, yet close to everything! We really enjoyed the location and the park. Very nicely kept.

We lucked up to find a few days in January for a canal front site #1. It was perfect. Spacious level site, water & 50 amp and such a great view of boats waiting to go thru the locks. We'd come back here in a heart beat!!

Excellent campground. Too bad the viewing area for the lock and access to land across from the campground were closed due to Covid.

This was an amazing campground. 9 great rv sites. We stayed 8 nights in site 2 on the water. Watching the nice boats go through the locks was fascinating. We spotted 2 alligators, a feral pig & 7 piglets across the canal. We biked the path that runs along the canal. We also biked around the neighborhood & Phibbs park next door. Glad we stayed where we did! It was such a nice quiet campground.

Finger piers are short, and the shallow water with rocks at the shore means you cannot get too close to shore, but electric and water worked fine, good showers, friendly hosts, and friendly helpful other boaters and campers make a very good experience. Did not use it but there is a community fire ring right up the hill. Lock activities can only be viewed at a distance until Covid is over, Likewise the visitor center was closed due to Covid. Entire Cg seems clean, well mowed and maintained.

We stopped with our 40' trawler for one night, tying up at slip B8. It was a bit of a squeeze because the pier wasn't very long but with the help of the boater in the next slip we were safely tied up and on 50A power in no time. It was a very quiet, beautiful setting. The gentleman at the office/info booth was very helpful and informative, the restrooms/showers were clean and only a short walk from our pier. We really wished we could have stayed another day or two but have this locale circled on our charts and plan to do so on our way back.

Beautiful site on the river. Wish we could have stayed longer. Long hike from tent site to restroom. Too bad the visitor center could not be open. Nice to have a book exchange. We did have an explanation of the lock from a ranger. 1/2 price with senior pass.
