The park is in a bad part of town. We could hear people cursing in an adjacent grocery store parking lot nearly every night. Located right on U.S. 19 so don't expect quiet.
GuideMy experience was great with my pup! Primitive sites were $20 a night at time of writing.
We stayed in a primitive site(p14) with water. I was excited to discover all these primitive wites with water are right on the lake.
There’s no alcohol allowed which is a double edged sword, but I welcomed this rule as there always seems to be groups partying at public campsites. Not here.
Bathrooms are typical campsite bathroom. They have showers too for campers.
It’s a dirt road campsite, but they have water trucks that spray a few times a day to keep the dust down. So thankful for that!
RV pull sites and promote. campsites are far enough away from each other.
Nearest major grocery store is wal-mart about 15 minutes away.
Only iffy thing I’d call out is how tight the primitive campsites are to each other. It was dead when I came, but had my neighboring sites been occupied, I wouldn’t have enjoyed my time as much.
RangerI’m staying in the Palmetto Ridge loop which is the only paved loop & I think the only one w/sewer. The Big Flats & Old Prairie loops are gravel road, tight, no privacy & very small sites like for popups, vans or small campers. The Palmetto Ridge pull thrus are gigantic. I would say the vegetation gives semi privacy but they aren’t on top of each other so it’s not like you’re looking right at your neighbor. There is a picnic table & a fire ring. Gravel sites but pretty level. My site was 50 amp. Not sure how many are. Bath house & laundry facility appears clean. Pet friendly. The outpost is literally like 3 miles into the park down from the entrance & Palmetto loop. The store was nice & there was a food truck. It was a little spendy but good food. The river was low so the kayak rental & boat tours were shut down. Tons of great hiking & even some elevated bridges for site seeing. Tons of gators, birds, deer etc. There is also a scenic drive in the park, a “fisherman’s loop” & a few picnic areas. There are cabins to rent but I didn’t see them. Also never saw a playground if you have kids. Very dark & quiet at night.
GuidePeaceful and beautiful place to walk. BEWEAR, PLEASE READ THE SIGNS! Nice little beach. Lots of wildlife. We had a pretty open site. Some sites have more trees and shade then others. Temps can be warm. It was in the 90s° the week we camped. We enjoyed it.
GuideCamped in site 11. Absolutely beautiful and peaceful.
ScoutThis park is a no star park! Stayed there for 3.5 months. First few weeks were just ok. The male owner stalks & verbally abuses the elderly. If you help the people staying in the park (especially if you help someone move out) you will be evicted. He threatens to call the police on you all of the time for coming into the park after you leave, even though the streets are on Google Map which makes it no longer a private road. The police have been called on him many times.
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR NEVER STAY THERE!
TravelerAwesome park with well maintained trail. There are a lot of other small trails that lead off into the woods. If you wander, bring a compass and throw some az. Fun times
ScoutWe stayed here for 3 days prior to the IMSA race at Sebring this year. wonderful Campground, well Kept, and very crowded. Resort style pool with a restaurant and bar, 2 level gym with all the equipment you could hope for, and lots of activities for the residents. Lots of restaurants and shopping just down the street.
we will be back again.
