This is a small but beautiful campground with just enough to have a comfortable stay. Sites are spacious, but oddly configured so they end up feeling closer than necessary. I was basically standing at the neighbor’s fire pit while setting up my camper; so close that I felt compelled to make conversation or it would have been very awkward. I could have roasted a marshmallow on their fire from my water hookup location…

Pros: -The staff is friendly and helpful. -Spacious sites -Feels secluded but only 5 minute to a Publix and 15 to a shopping mall

Cons- -pretty far from all the Big Cypress and Everglades visitor centers -some sites are close together and few have privacy -gets very soggy after a rain (huge puddles, mud everywhere after one thunderstorm)

Long story short- can’t beat the price for water and electric hookups, but I’m sure there are better campgrounds around.

FYI- they are not kidding about locking the gate at night! Make sure you call ahead if you will arrive after sunset or you will not get in.
