Very nice park, in a country setting. Run by local parish government. Very full of locals on the weekends. Golf carts everywhere, but safe. Blacktop roads and paved sites. Nice distance between sites. Most are just water/electric, but there are a few sites that are not on the water [...]

We took advantage of some nice weather and must have started our camping season a little early. There were only two campers in the entire campground.

This is a small Old Florida style park. No pool or big recreation hall. The rest rooms and showers are clean and well maintained. The owner (husband & wife) are very friendly and welcome all.

We made our reservations online and really thought the website indicated water would be on March 1. Although water in the campground was [...]
