E.G. Simmons Regional Park

Amazing water access and dog friendly! The staff and rangers are kind and helpful. During our stay, there was E. coli in water which means water activities and fishing were restricted. Lots of raccoons and no see-ums. Bring citronella candles. Overall, beautiful park and friendly people. Would definitely return.

I was in town for a clinic and didn't want to stay downtown in a hotel. I found this little gym. Traffic to the city was a pain, and parking was iffy at best. However the campsite was nice and quiet. There is a sushi place down the road I highly recommend. The reviews of the Raccoons are no joke and saw one the size of a bear cub but harmless for sure. The bathroom and shower were what you expected from a park. Everything was clean. I doubt I will ever be back that way. However, if I am, I won't hesitate to stay there again.

This park has a lot of great amenities. The kayaking is amazing in this park, you will see a lot of wild life like manatees and dolphins. The bad and ugly is that the noseeums will drive you crazy and you literally need to bade in repellent. The other problem are the raccoons, the will get everything and everywhere, they are not afraid of people. Please do not feed them because it will make the problem worse. The weather here was great the five nights we camped.
