Access to campgrounds varies seasonally, with mosquitoes presenting a significant challenge during warmer months. "Great park if you want to get outside, but still want access to civilization. While this is an awesome ecosystem with lots to see and explore - take bug spray! Especially if going in May - when the Horseflies are out," noted one visitor about Village Creek State Park. Hurricane impacts have affected some facilities in the region, particularly along the coast where Sea Rim State Park has undergone significant changes.
