Gorgeous Private Spot

I lucked out and stumbled upon this campground late in the afternoon on my way down the west coast.

I did have to reserve a spot online and that provides you with the gate code to access the camping area.

There were a healthy number of sites but all relatively spaced out for privacy.

Also a pit toilet. Just used it for a one night stopover but enjoyed a beautiful sunrise and sunset!

Great camping at cabin

Nice place to sit and quiet with bonfire but the cabin need to be clean with air filter and a lot of rooms & bathroom need to be clean too

A true Floridian wonderland.

You must reserve a site with Southwest Florida Water Management by website. It is sometimes closed to hunting. There are lakes and multiple varieties of terrain.

Nice place for a quick getaway

Nice place, relatively quiet. Little light pollution. Sites are very spacious. Close and clean facilities. Saw a good bit of wildlife: deer and wild boar. Hiking and biking trials. I regular tent sites (which are also hammock friendly). Also have cabins for rent. Prices are on the lower end, $17 a night for tent sites. Only reason for the 4 start is the reservation system has to be done through the county park and rec sites.
