Reviews of Sweetwater Bay Chickee
"A lot of gators everywhere. But it a little secluded from the wind which can be nice."
"Clean porta-john. The chickee was nice and sturdy and above the water enough to feel safe from the clearly visible crocodiles. NoSeeUms and mosquitoes weren't terrible as long as you get in your tent during dusk and wait for them to pass."
"I spent my first night in the backcountry absolutely alone at Sweetwater Bay Chickee. It was a nearly full moon and fish were feeding/jumping all evening in the moonlight. The Chickee is a bit off the wilderness waterway, so you won't see anyone else traveling by."
"Lot & lots & lots & lots of mosquitoes. Sleeping under the pavilion/ramada roofs is not recommended & use the john before you crash because you don't want to leave the tent at night. Other than bugs it's beautiful."
