We had a wonderful time staying on our site specifically - there is a line of palms & bush separating the tent area from the parking area, so it felt more remote than it was. There is also such a lovely variety of birds to hear throughout the day, and loved setting up our Eno in the morning for coffee! Unfortunately it was cloudy during the night of our stay, but I would honestly still go back in the same conditions. Definitely check the weather before booking your stay though, because seeing the stars would have been the cherry on top. :)

Was a part of a large organized group of campers staying in The Heron preserve. The section is designated “primitive” but it does have full single person male & female restrooms, as well as electricity and water. It has plenty of picnic tables, a path to the lake, and woods to explore via trails. There are some pretty interesting pieces of history leftover behind the camping field.

During the day, there is noise pollution due to jet skis on the water, and the gun range located across the path. However, at night (when it really matters) it is completely silent except for local wildlife. It’s a lovely place to wake up to in the morning.

Note: The perimeter of the area is lined with a sturdy fence that can technically be closed via gate. We always felt safe, and would definitely return. Great place for kids to repeat visit and build memories.
