Park is well run with many social events run by park volunteers. The terrain for hiking is sandy two-track roads through scrub forest, much of it burned or in process of reforestation after removal of non-native plants. There is a new paved rail-trail for biking that cuts through park property. Laundry is available as well as Wi-Fi internet, at the Nature Center building. One very small lake for swimming has an alligator warning. No park-owned access to the Gulf beach although public beaches are within 5 miles. Canoes are available for rent at the park, to be used in the small stream.Lots are 55 ft wide on paved access roads. Most lots are shady. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We were on site #58. Most sites in park seemed tight if you have a rig longer than 30 ft, or slides on both sides. There are 6 loop areas some allow pets and some don't. About half are on a small creek that runs through the park. There are 5 bathhouses and 1 dump station. 2 extra vehicle parking areas. There is a playground in the camping area and 2 more in the picnic areas. No laundry machines as in other FL state parks. 1 Trash bin for entire campground and it is not located in the campground, it is on road as you leave the campground. Each site has a picnic table (long), and combo fire ring/grill. Water hookups can be a long distance and are shared between campsites. Firewood and ice are available at ranger station. Canoes and kayaks can be rented there as well. Park has nature center, small lakeside swimming area, 6 hiking trails (4 of them can be biked). Check in was very slow. Even though we were prepaid they still needed all kinds of info still, even the names of your pets and kids if you brought them with you. We would go back but chose our site more wisely this time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A nice State Park. Campground is about 1/2 mile from park entrance on US 41. One section has a playground, but no pets allowed. Other half of campground allows pets and has 5 pull thru sites. Hiking trails and roads connect campground to swimming lake. Campsites are private with lots of trees and tropical plants. Park is very quiet at night. Firewood and ice is sold at gate and each site has a fire ring. Volunteers clean each site between campers. Restrooms are clean, but not heated or cooled. Park has a swimming lake with a small beach. Some tent sites are directly on a small stream. There is no cable TV, but I saw several satellite dishes in use. Park is near shopping, restaurants and Gulf beaches. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
