We had a blast!! Very nice clean campground!! Also fun that you can ride your golf carts into town and eat and play putput at Pattis. We stayed on the flats and it’s plenty of space for a big rv! Already ready to plan another trip!

The campground itself is nice and well kept. There is an incredibly bad skunk problem. Multiple skunks sprayed tonight an hour before dark- I saw four at a campsite last trip and have seen dogs sprayed. You simply cannot be out after dark. Campground staff can be very rude, they have insulted every guest I have invited

Have always enjoyed camping at Canal; this time things were a little different. There was not enough room for 2 vehicles (that was not noted on reservation site). We parked across road on what would be grass, obviously been done before because it was sorta bare. We were asked to move vehicle but no one had a good answer where to park. Finally told to park where boats are which I did and when I went to get car, there was a note taped on car saying, "This area is for boats, do not park here." It became very frustrating. Other than that, it was a great experience.
