Lots of bugs and frogs in the rest rooms/shower stalls.

Spots were very spacious and most had decent shade. Scenery was beautiful. Showers were well maintained with plenty of hot water. The boat ramp was very nice and located within walking distance of the campsites so you could park your boat trailer back at the site. Most sites were large enough to have you trailer, tow vehicle, and still room for second two vehicle with boat trailer. There was an optional overflow site but it was not in such a secure area and I would not have felt comfortable parking my stuff there even though it was lit with flood lights. The overflow parking was before you even entered the campground. The designated channel to get to the ocean from the canal was approximately a 20 minute boat ride. Unless of course you are braver than me and willing to dare the little channels through the marshes. #3kcgplus1 #GAHFFF #GoAdventureHaveFunFamilyFirst

Very well maintained, super staff. Restrooms old but clean. Fantastic scenery of God’s creation.

We had a good time. Sites have good space from each other, it's a relatively small campground and I like that. The view is pretty. Bathroom are clean. We stay in site #9, it had electric and water hook ups and enough shade.

The location is gorgeous- especially closer to the water. And I like that the sites are spread out from each other so you have plenty of space to yourself. The downside is that there didn't seem to be any quiet hours in effect. Also, the bathrooms are in desperate need of a proper cleaning. It's campsite so no one should expect it to be spotless, but the showers were filthy and really just need a good scrubbing.
