I arrived at my reserved campsite on the day I was scheduled to arrive to find another camper using my site. They knowingly had taken my site know that it was reserved for someone else stating they had a health condition that needed the use of electricity. The camp host was not at their site and could not get any help to have the person move from my site. There were no other electric sites available at the park. I had to leave and find another place to stay on a dark, rainy night. Why have a reservation system if it cannot be honored or enforced?

Site was clean and roomy. Bath house was out of the 70's and had issues. Sink was leaking in floor and hot water was luke warm at best. Overall nice place but needs attention.

Nice sites. Good location right in the ICW Easy stop off 17. Washrooms dated and in need of deep cleaning. Excessive lighting on bath house exterior.

Peaceful and beautiful. I've tried several times before to get a reservation here and finally achieved it. Campsites were spacious. Bathroom needs signs for male/female.

Great campground right on the Intracoastal. Sites have water and electric and there are waterfront tent only sites too. Common bathroom has functioning toilets and a sort of lukewarm shower. Sites are relatively flat. Boat launch adjacent to campground. Suspect this place is very popular during the warmer months, still got busy here on weekend here in December. Only negative is there’s a house that is evidently owned by a Church that is actually accessed by the park road (there’s even a mailbox for it.) There was very loud music as in like a live band even coming from that house the weekend I was there very late into the evening.

What a great gem !!! This facility was right in our wheel-house !! Quaint, cozy and quiet. The intercoastal view was amazing and we even were blessed to see dolphins playing. We are so looking forward to our next trip !!!

The location is amazing! The sites are paved, well spaced and flat. The bathrooms are old and our 50 amp connection didn't work, so we had to use 30 amp. They are closing down soon to repair these things, so we can't wait to come back after the remodel.

A small and beautiful campground right on the water with ramp access to the water. All of the sites were full with RV’s and boats but no one was on them which was sad to see. It felt like the campground was being taken advantage of and being used more as a storage unit for campers big toys. There was 5 tents sites. They were all being used, but unfortunately you couldn’t park on the site and not that the parking was far, but It would have been nice to know ahead of time that you couldn’t actually park on the site it self.
