Vacation Vibe
Well, even though I was there in the middle of December, I felt like I was on summer vacation at this state park. The campground is quite beautiful, with the campsites pretty well immersed in vegetation. There's a lot of diversity among sites, so I'm sure people have favorites. The atmosphere is festive but relaxed, with lots of families and groups of friends. I didn't even get to find half the cool places to explore, but there are marsh boardwalks, sandy beaches with sea turtles, a full-on gift shop, a nature center with aquariums and presentations, and a crazy estate that you can tour. It also happens to be quite expensive to camp there, so check the rates. Word to the wise - apparently it is so popular in the summertime that you need to make reservations a year in advance.
