This is a Mom and Pop campground. A cute Asian couple own the park and are VERY friendly. They helped get us backed in to our site. The sites are very close to each other. There are a lot of older camping rigs. Most are permanently there. There is WiFi, but it is very weak. The view of the St. John’s is the best part of the campground. There is a dock that you can go out and watch the sunset on the river. The dock has many dilapidated boats that don’t look like they have run in years. There is a boat ramp and we put our kayaks in right there and checked out Dunn’s Creek. We made due while there, but will not go back. The bathhouse was not the greatest and there was minimal privacy.

This is a 55+ RV park. But we saw families with children here. They have sites for the camper to stay a few nights or sites for staying here permanently. The bathhouse is very nice and spacious. 5 showers/6 stalls. There is a nice pool area. We made the reservation in January for our June visit. If your rig is more than 10 years old, they will ask for pictures. They sent a reminder email the day before and gave us a courtesy phone call to let us know how to check in after hours. The permanent residents are friendly and willing to help. The park is directly across from Silver Springs State Park. The grounds seem kept up.

We were running close to the cut off for check in due to traffic. We called and the clerk waited for us to get there. We made it just under the wire. The sites were close together and a bit tight, but they are nice gravel for the rig and a concrete pad for your rug. Each site has a grill and picnic table. Fires are not permitted. The beach is a short bike ride away, but can be walked too. This place only takes cash or check and is kind of old school. But the prices are awesome for staying on Sanibel Island. There is a nice restaurant across the street from the park. There is an aviary in the campground. This place is also a trailer park with mobile homes super close to each other. Not many campsites available, so book early. The bath houses were nicely kept and no issues. The sites are all full hook up. We will be back again.

We were so glad to find this place on The Dyrt. Once you check in, there is someone there to guide you to your site. You cannot reserve sites, you just request the amps needed for your rig. There are tent sites, cabins, and Chickee huts to rent as well. We were guided to a pull thru site. This was a first for us and we were thrilled. Our site was directly across from the bath house. We had no trouble leveling our trailer and getting set up. Fire pits are at every site and fires are encouraged. If you did not bring wood, there is some for sale. The bath house was adequate. It could be cleaner, but it is camping. The sites include water and electric. You are not able to pick up antennae TV unless you have high quality tall antennae. Radio stations came in just fine. At the front of the park is a little store with SkunkApe gear and an animal exhibit with gators, pythons and chickens. Skunkape is the equivalent of Sasquatch. Apparently, there is a legend of sitings in the Everglades. Kayak and canoe rentals are available as well as a swamp buggy ride. We brought our own kayaks and were told where to enjoy them. This campground is 15 minutes from Everglade City and 25 minutes from Collier-Seminole State Park.
