Wish they had sewer hookups. Bugs can be very bad. They need to take care of all the fire ants. You have to be really careful where you & your pet step.

The parking lot at the boat ramp still has the same potholes in it it's had for at least 4 years now. The light above the bath house entrance still cycles on and off. It has done that for at least 2 years. It's a HPS fixture and simply needs a new bulb. Thankfully the grass was cut when I got there it's usually not that's why I always bring a weed eater when I check in for a 2 week stay. The water still leaked at the dump station and it's leaked for years. What a shame that much water has leaked from the spigot all this time.

It was simple camping but the location was wonderful. I even saw dolphins jumping on the intercoastal waterway and lots of snowy egrets across the water. There, however, were quite a few mosquitos. They did have showers for which I was very grateful.
