Stayed with friends. Very expensive they offer breakfast but charge outrageous prices. Otger things are offered but tgey charge a pretty penny. Everyone complained about it. The maintenance guy is rude talks about all the owners and rides around all day like he owns the place. Mosquitoes are horrible. The airboats are loud and run all day. You cant have a conversation out when they pass. I may return with my friends but I would never pay to be here
Guide
It is a well laid out Florida State Park campground In a mangrove swamp, making the mosquitoes horrible. There is access to a channel that you can rent a kayak or “Go Cat” to go all the way to the gulf, or use your own boat. The go cats are very cool and the guide you out in groups for around $150.

I stayed there for 13 nights. Good experience. Customer service is excellent. I stayed on a concrete pad close to the main office. Great neighbours. Tight spaces but I had no issues maneuvering my 28' RV.
TravelerPulled up to window at check-in. Gave her my name and reserved site number. She asked me to park and come inside. Inside, she handed me a map and recited the rules. Then she asked if I had any questions. I asked, "Do you have a restroom?" She looked at me with unbelief. "Well, I guess if it's an emergency. " I told her I had been on the road for 3 and a half hours. The other lady pointed to the restroom. I don't think that I've ever had anyone deny a restroom to me at check-in. The website said the Royal Palm trail would close on April 3rd. When we went to it on March 26th, it was barricaded. Both my wife and I had cold showers that evening. When I mentioned it to the maintenance lady, she said that she had been there since November and has never had a hot shower. All the sites seem to be fairly tight with no privacy.

Stayed here for a quick overnight campout last weekend and was very pleased with the campgrounds. The site was clean and well groomed. We were close to the swamp and at night saw quite a few crayfish crawling around on the ground at night which was a first for me. If you stay here make sure you take a walk around at night that is where we ended up seeing a lot of critters which was really cool. Also make sure you take a flashlight and look in many of the waterways. We ended up seeing quite a few gators and fish like alligator gar. Also discovered that the creeping growling noises I was hearing all night was Gators mating which is wild to think about...

I was planning on having my wedding here. I have had my spots reserved for 9 months. They called me TODAY, LESS THAN TWO MONTHS FROM MY WEDDING To tell me they double booked me with a 3rd party service that rents out the sites at a higher rate for glamping and are telling ME that I HAVE TO GIVE UP MY SITES. They have offered no help other than"move sites, get a refund, or re-reserve through that third party site at a more expensive rate."
Evidently the sites I reserved are no longer owned by the state, they're owned by the third party site through a contract. they're made into glamping sites and you cannot rent the site through anyone but the glamping company. They removed what was once a beautiful campsite from the general public and turn it into a"galmp site". How many other sites are going to be bought out like this? All the prime sites that were tent only in North loop are now EXCLUSIVELY glamping sites. If you like doing your own camping, you no longer have that option on the best spots in the park no matter how early you book.
I and my entire wedding party are beyond disappointed in how this has been handled. We are being turned away from over half of our reservations. This is so unprofessional and honestly should be illegal. They waited 9 months to notify me of THEIR MISTAKES and now, less than two months from my wedding, I have to scramble to notify my guests of the changes. I may even have to cancel my wedding because the sites seem to have already been rented through the 3rd party site and I don't want some random people in the CENTER OF MY WEDDING AND ALL ITS PHOTOS. And to top it off, they don't seem at all apologetic about ruining my wedding.
RangerNot a fan of this campground. We stayed for five nights in February. Really hot and buggy - TONS of mosquitos. I guess that’s to be expected given the location in/near the Everglades. The mosquitos were so aggressive we got tons of bites, they covered our pups, and the first evening we smashed close to 60 of them in our van after opening the door just to get into the van. Pretty miserable. On top of that, the nature trails within the campground/visitor area was closed and overgrown. The only hiking trails that were open were close to a mile down the highway - not really accessible on foot from campground. Campground itself was ok but not as pretty as others we’ve been to. On the plus side, good location for visiting other stuff in the area and my husband liked playing pickleball daily at courts in Naples. The volunteers at the campground were really friendly and the facilities were clean.

Panther Pond: We really liked this quiet campground with very secluded sites. More sunshine and solar at Okaloacoochee Overflow and Hunt Camp. To Do: Nearby trails here to talk of grass to comfortably walk in. Either not much recent horse traffic or they just have not been mowed. Either is probably due to this year’s wet winter .
Make sure to make the 30 minute drive to the board walk on Sic Island Dr. Short walk to the short boardwalk. Outstanding way to leave with a taste of the slough.

GuideWe accumulated several nights in our travel trailer at Collier-Seminole in the November/December time frame, staying at a total of 5 campsites (76, 45, 84, 22, and 66). The standout for us was the quick and helpful response of the staff. Ex: As we were moving into site 84, we spotted a fire ant problem, and they attended to it right away. Ex: As we were moving into site 21, we saw that the middle board of the picnic table top was rotted out. I brought this to the attention of a Ranger passing by, and we had a different table within 15 minutes. Ex: We had the misfortune of locking the keys in a friend's vehicle, which caused us to have two vehicles on site overnight. The staff was very understanding, and even suggested an empty campsite nearby for parking our second vehicle overnight Ex: Because our initial bookings were late, we did a quite a bit of "jumping" between sites. The staff proactively stopped by to tell us we could move to our next site early.
Other reviews cover the mosquito situation. I would add that dealing with the mosquitos was routine for a grizzled Minnesotan such as myself, but the aggressive biting noseeums were something new.
Some "insider" information:
(1) campsites 22 and 24 are the only sites with paved pads. The rest are gravel. ALSO, campsite 22 is actually a double wide paved pad (used to be sites 22 and 23, but they combined them into one).
(2) While you are limited to one vehicle per campsite, you can park an extra vehicle down by the boat landing.
(3) There is a lot more shade over the grounds than the view from Google Earth would suggest.
(4) There are washers and driers that take credit card payment. Nice. The bath house in the A-loop has two washers and two driers for doubling up.
(5) This campground has several bag dispensers for dog clean up that are always well stocked. GREAT for those of us on an extended stay.

Had a marvelous time at the Meadow River Ranch. The grounds are well kempt, with a thick, lush carpet of a St. Augustine and rye grass blend covering the acreage. Very quiet and peaceful. A great place to just “be”. My grandson and I tried our luck fishing in the canal. Jeff was very accommodating. Let us run our generator as much as we wanted. Even let us run our dogs off leash for awhile.
We stayed at MRR in a self-contained RV, and as such had no need to use the outdoor toilet or solar shower, so I offer no comment on those facilities.
Guide
Located in Jasper, TN. This is a place to visit! Fair rates ($35/night) and great views. Friendly staff. Upkeep on bathrooms and showers. Very pleased with my stay here! The lot was a tight squeeze so if you’re not an experienced driver, you may want to request a different lot selection.
GuideWell I called to reserve for the night. I was given a discounted $40 overnight rate. It seemed fair, but the conditions were underwhelming. I had to use the shower and bathrooms and frankly… it was a hole in the wall. The shower was literally just a hole in the wall! Had to walk carefully in the bathroom to avoid getting in contact with the disgusting conditions.
Legend
This is a nice camping location…or will be when they complete renovations. They are still recovering from hurricane damage, so there was some construction and noise. The spaces are pretty tight, but not as bad as other places. And they are staggered so it feels roomier. we had a nice site with a shaded patio. Also a misquote problem! Lots of misquotes and no see-ums. But the pool, boat ramp, playground, and dog park are all open. 2 dog parks! The laundry, hot tub, and camp store are still closed. It’s close to the Big Cypress Wildlife area, and an easy drive to Everglades National Park.
Guide
Rated 1 only because 0 isn’t an option. We were told we could extend our trip and there were plenty of spots available since it’s off season and the park isn’t even half full. I call to pay just to be told no there aren’t any spots available. I tell Jim I was told there were plenty of spots. “Oh well she doesn’t know what she’s talking about, she is new.” I asked if he just didn’t want us here. Well yes, there has been a violation. We were never even given a notification of violations (just asked for us to move extra vehicle, even though there was room on the pavement we just needed to park in overflow across the park. No big deal) My husband is covered in tattoos and he was judged. There is plenty of space here, they just don’t want us here. My husband is one of the most giving people who has handed his last dollar to someone who has needed it more…on more than one occasion. Don’t support this business. Jim should feel ashamed of himself. We’ve never received a violation for anything here and now have no place to go forth of July weekend.
GuideGreat camp sites, leveled with electric for the RVs and tent camping off on the side. Clean bathrooms (no showers) and dump station. Attendant was friendly. Central pond for fishing just watch for the gators.
GuideGreat state park with decent amenities. Even had cc laundry which was a surprise. Lots of shaded spots in the lower lot numbers.

If you are looking for a park right in Fort Myers, but with an open feel, this is the place. Though there are some year round mobile homes, all the RV spots on the lake are beautiful.
TravelerMy site had the hookups in the middle of it. The bathhouse is not ventilated. It doesn’t have ac. It’s extremely hot in there. The park Rangers are more like fun police. My neighbors had their family reunion yesterday. At sunset they were on site telling them they had to leave. Everyone was clearly loading up their vehicles. It was unnecessary for them to show up and bark at them. I got harassed by 3 different people in a period of 5 mins b/c I had my lights wrapped around a tree. Needless to say, I won’t be coming back here.
