We love this campground! The hosts do an amazing job and the bathrooms are sparkling clean. I think most sites are level (22 and 53 are ones we had and they are). We enjoy walking along the river to the jetty and the ocean. Also, it's fun to watch the boats and larger ships. A few notes: this campground is not within quick walking distance of a swimming beach, there are bugs including tiny "no-see-ems" so bring your spray, the sites are basically dirt so make sure to have a doormat. Despite these few items, this is still 5-stars for us and we've been to about 30 campgrounds over the last year. We'll definitely be back!

Our new Florida State favorite! Wildlife and privacy abound. We saw deer, armadillo, gopher tortoises, osprey etc. Very generous well spaced cozy campsites tucked beneath old oak canopies. Even on windy weekends your campsite is well protected from anything more than a slight comfortable breeze. The bath house is THE gold standard for State Park facilities. New clean climate controlled and spacious. No cramped little showers here! Washer and dryer present for those needing such amenities.

Very good place to camp or visit. Campgrounds are clean..sites are spacious. Bathhouses are clean and well kept. Great beach and river access. Magnificent sunrises and sunsets. Lots of history and nature to explore. The only negative is folks who think they don't have to follow any rules and don't have any respect for anything or anyone...

We were on a bucket list trip for a family member with cancer. He has since passed. This place was absolutely amazing. They didn't have a spot for us but they got creative and made one. We will always remember that kindness. ❤ The park was beautiful. The lake on one side and ocean on the other was just perfect. Someday, when I can afford the trip, I'll bring my kids so they can experience it too. Thank you so much for the memory.
