Located on Big Cypress Seminole Indian Reservation, 20 miles north of I-75 from Exit 49, in the Everglades. Very clean, well kept, large sites, and very peaceful. Close to air boat rides and "swamp buggy tours". No sign out front, so call for directions. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Typical KOA - sites were difficult to maneuver with a larger rig. Once we were in the site it was fine, however getting in and out was difficult. The streets are very narrow and everyone parks their tow vehicles either directly in front or directly in back of their coaches - which nearly put them on the street. It was almost impossible to navigate our 40' motorhome in and out of the space. Looks like a lot of long term tenants are there. Okay for overnight, but wouldnt recommend staying any length of time. We camped here in a Motorhome.
While the sites in this campground were a good size they had very poor drainage so that when it rained there was a great deal of water on each site. While we were out walking and using some of the other facilities the campground manager was using language that we found upsetting and offensive. We heard this type of language on more than one occasion. We also overheard her berating some of her employees. The restrooms and showers, while not dirty, just did not have a fresh clean feel about them. We would not return to this campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Small crowded sites. Majority old park models. Very narrow streets. Rec hall in need of repair. Large rat population especially near dumpsters. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park was ok. We just spent one night passing thru. The woman I talked with on the phone was very nice. The woman that checked us in at the guard shack was the nastiest person I have ever dealt with at a campground. Incredible! Won't stop there again. Too bad, overall the park is ok. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park is under Army Corps of Engineers. Park is very clean has cement pads to park on and streets are wide with blacktop. Sites are very close to waterway. Playground equipment for the kids. Some road noise from Florida Tpk. Park is on St. Lucie waterway, dam, and boatlock. You see a lot of boats moving in and out of locks. If you have a golden card price is half. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park is very clean and run by Army Corps of Engineers. Park is on a waterway and boat lock. Playground equipment for kids. All sites are cement pads and level. All roads are blacktop and wide. You have a 14 day limit. Some road noise from Fl. Turnpike. If you have a golden age card price is half. You can visit the locks and see boats pass in and out of locks. We camped here in a Motorhome.
