We've been to this park three times and are planning on going a fourth time. It is divided into three loops. The first loop is sites 1-31, all 30 amp sites. This loop appears to per the oldest of the camp ground, but is still well maintained. The bath house on this loop is modern and very clean. On the low number side there is a wheelchair ramp. Loop 2 is 32-49 and appears newer than Loop 1, and all sites are 30 amp. The bath house appears externally to be newer, but basically the same as Loop 1, except for there are multiple steps to get into this bath house and no wheelchair ramp. Loop 3 is the newest and all sites are 50 amp. The bath house here is flush to the ground on the high number side, and on the low number side there is a few steps and a wheelchair ramp. The camp ground has a beach and a boat ramp. The camp ground is quiet and well maintained. There are lots of hiking paths and the roads are quiet enough on the shoulder season to be very safe for bikes. Nearby, near enough to bike to the first safely, is a Winn Dixie, and about a mile further out is a Publix. Walmart is about a 15 minute drive away, and we always stop there for groceries on the way in.
