We stayed at Buck Hall for 10 days and while it was a nice and very quiet campground there was a big problem. Unbeknown to us, the camp host had been hospitalized and as a result, the bathrooms received no service whatsoever and in fact ran totally out of toilet paper; campers were having to supply their own. Now I realize the camp host is not at fault here; someone in charge should have sent a fill in to cover the area until the camp host was recovered. The shower stalls need some serious revamping; once you have the water flowing, everything in the stall gets wet. There is no place that remains dry to put one's clean clothes. The sites are spacious and you don't have a close by neighbor; there is shade. We got to see a bald eagle perched across the Canal almost every day and once we saw a dolphin in the Canal.

Campground is in a nice quiet location along the intracoastal waterway. We were in site 14 with a good view of the water. The reason for my low review is that the camp host was gone most of the two weeks that we were there and bathrooms were not kept clean and ran out of toilet paper. Grass also had not been mowed, so we didn't have any camp fires as afraid of catching it on fire.

Campsites and location is fine, good hiking, fishing and boating opportunities. Beautiful location.
We found a lack of maintenance and cleanliness in the bathhouse.

Great park. Great location. Plenty of room between sites. Summers would be fun watching all the boats on the inter coastal waterway.
