CONS 

Numerous pages of COVID liability release forms had to be signed and notarized at checkin 

General Liability release forms had to be signed at checkin 

Very tight roadways. 

No turn around at end of roadway so plan accordingly. 

Most larger trailer had the front of their trailer on the roadway edge 

Had to park tow vehicle next to camper so limited outdoor space. We did not have sufficient space to deploy our awning 

Two power failures in less than 12 hours. One was 5 hours long. 

Site 351 unlevel 

No picnic table at site 351. Sites with picnic table were hit or miss. 

Insufficient supply of TP in park restrooms 

Black ash from nearby sugar cane field burning raining down on everything---what a big mess. 

Lots of construction workers staying in park who leave in their diesel trucks starting at 5am 

Park WIFI 1 bar 

Dont Miss in Belle Glade  

Margaritas Restaurant 

Banyan Tree Restaurant Nice 

Winn-Dixie Grocery on Main Street

Great park boating hugh. Love most spot try not to get spots along main canal. Air boats tend to be very loud and here they go out even during quiet time which woke us up every night. However they do offer tours and the tour is fantastic. So its up to you to decide if the amenities and activities weighed against the noise. Look up air boats they are everywhere but again they are fun.

Near lake okeechobee, large camp ground, affordable.
