Winter is the best time to visit !

We loved how close this was to Tampa yet it felt like you were miles away from it all . I can see how summer would be tough here as mentioned in other reviews.. wet would be my guess , so a winter visit is favorable. Tye hiking trails were amazing and we saw tons of wildlife. Gators on the trail next to the water. Night was filled with songs from the owls and calls from the coyote .. Make sure you cache all your food in bear proof containers because the raccoons are talented.. Bathroom is nice with great hot water .. good laundry machines too.. Only CON—- sites are too small and you’re right next to your neighborhoods.. very little privacy..
