Camping in the jungle

This place has a boat/kayak launch right into crystal clear spring. The campground is well kept. Laundry and restroom facilities more than adequate. Very restful and peaceful.

Clean, easy access to water

It’s a clean park with easy access to boat rentals (kayaks, canoes) and a boat launch if you have your own. Publix and Walmart are ~10 minutes away if you need anything. I came in September after a heavy rain and it was pretty buggy. Bring mosquito repellent. There are a number of long term campers with poorly kept RVs, but everyone is friendly.

Most Incredible Hidden Spot

This is one of my most favorite spots ever. You can camp right by your car and then it’s a short drive to the dock where you can put your kayak in or rent one. You will SEE MANATEES!!!! ITS SO MAGICAL!
