Have stayed there before. This time was just as enjoyable except the flies were much larger (almost horse fly size) and the mosquitoes were terrible.

Nice, quiet, clean campground & not expensive either. We stayed here for 5 nights at a total cost of less than a one night stay at a KOA about 15 miles away. This place is right on the Intra Coastal Waterway where there are usually boats of all sizes navigating it constantly & there are benches next to the water to sit, relax & watch boats or occasionally some larger species of fish. You can also fish from the waters edge if that's your thing. Nice place, but sometimes hard to get a site.

A wonderful spot! Open sites, easy water and electric hookups, convenient dump station and dumpster.
Excellent walking in the park and on the connected Palmetto trail. My dog loved it.

Bathrooms : only one campground toilet and one shower was operational. The conditions of the bathrooms were unbearable . They were not even remotely clean as bugs had died in the water surrounding the sink top and there was such erosion of the actual sink itself I thought the water would leak to the floor. No quiet hours were observed as movies from a church group were playing until 1am. No campground hosts in sight. Had reservations for two nights and barely made it through one.

I don't want to say anything nice about the campground because I don't want any more people knowing about it
