Wildlife,in abundance!

Saw a pair of sandhill cranes, on our way into our camp. They were huge! Lizards everywhere, rabbits, birds. No alligators 😐 though. Would've like to see 1 or 2. Showers, bathrooms all clean.

wonderfull time at the cabin

I stayed at one of the cabins, and they were a little smelly, and lacked toiletries, but overall not too bad. make sure you have all you need, since the store doesn't really carry anuthing besides snacks and it closes early anyway. May is the very end of the season, so it was nice and quiet.
