Learned to love the vibe

Mixed initial reviews but overall loved the vibe of this campground. On the one hand: Sites are chaotically close together with little/no privacy between them. On the other hand: we ended up loving the vibe of this campground because the high density of campers meant that we met LOTS of great people, had great conversations over chips and guacamole, and enjoyed some outings to Sebring racetrack with fellow campers. Nice to see so many class B campers in one spot - and actually a mix of large/small rigs plus families in tents. One other bit of unexpected magic was the delight we felt in seeing a group of families celebrate a child’s 10th birthday for a weekend at some campsites nearby. The pure joy we got at hearing and seeing the kids run and play (no screen time!), embrace camping traditions, and enjoy making memories was delightful. There are several short bike trails and one main hiking circuit that’s really lush with tropical vegetation and wildlife. I usually prefer campgrounds with more nature and privacy between sites so at first I was more “negative” about this campground. By the end, my very extroverted husband had convinced me of the joys of the community spirit and vibe that this campground offered. We will return.
