This campground started in 1964, and has something like 80 permanent trailer sites and 250 travel trailer sites. We were put in a section with about ten others campers and tents, but this campground is huge with many different parts. The workers were very friendly, and you followed someone on a golf cart to your site. There are tropical birds all over the park and little duck ponds. The bathrooms could use an update but not very many people use them especially those living or staying in the park models. You can walk to the beach (long walk better taking a bike). The Sanibel beaches are sandy and beautiful, and they do have waves not like the Keys. Shells everywhere, and you see everyone bending over to collect them. They have boat rentals available at the Marina. This campground is the only one on Sanibel Island, and you can easily bike to everything – shops, restaurants, groceries and sites. We did drive to the Ding Wildlife Refuge and the Shell Museum but everything else we biked too – nice and level and wide bike lanes on both sides of the roads away from the main road. We did have reservations but a number of campers came in and were able to get a site without them. It is May and not there busiest time of year which is January through the beginning of April, and reservations are hard to come by at those times of the year. Their low season starts in June and the price drops down ten dollars for full hookups. Price is high, but the park is cute and it is on Sanibel and if you stayed in the parks across the bridge in Ft. Myers you would have to pay the $6 toll everyday. Enjoyable stay ! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Somewhat unusual park with cages of exotic birds and monkeys scattered here and there. Half mile walk to the beach, easy bike ride. Aside from long delays at check-in, the park functioned smoothly. It was quiet, the site was ample in size and shaded. Restrooms and showers were adequate but not first class. About half long-term campers who seemed to enjoy a sense of community. WiFi was functional but we were at the edge of reception and lost the connection regularly. Very convenient location; bikes and walking will suffice for most. Note: no credit cards accepted so bring a check. Ants were a nuisance but not a major hassle, very few mosquitoes and no-see-ums this time of year. We will return and enjoyed this unique island campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
