Beautiful but not perfect

A beautiful park that is a real taste of old Florida , with a campground that is completely shaded by oak trees. At night the green fireflies put on an amazing light show in the canopy. Unfortunately , the fireflies aren't the only bugs . The mosquitoes were ridiculous in June . We practically had to anchor our toddler to the picnic table so he wasn't carried away by them. You can rent Surrey's and golf carts to cruise the park which is a nice plus , although they are overpriced. Nature Trails are amazing.

Also , don't come expecting the pool to be open , just consider it a lucky bonus if it happens to be. They look for any reason possible to close it , and it seems to be closed almost all the time.
