"This is a gem of a state park. We have a 35 foot 5th wheel, and we stayed in site #7, plenty of room, easy back in. So private and quiet. Tons if trails for dog walks. The disc golf was above my skill level, but look like a challenge for better players. The chip and put coarse by the boat launch was very run down and needed a lot of work. I hope they reinvest in the smaller course. The only issue we came across was the water. It's murky out of the tap and after a shower I felt a little slimy. I've tossed my filter for the rest of the trip until I get a new one. But don't let that stop you from a great stay at a wonderful state park. Make sure you are stocked up. Other than walmart, there are not a lot of grocery options."
"We were camped in #8. It was a good site but would have rather had a water front/marsh site. They were all taken. You could just see some Lagoon type water- not really the gulf. Sure that it is connected though. Nice big sites with alot of distance between each. Lots of shrubbery in between for privacy. The showers were wonderful!! We saw armadillo on site. Everyone so friendly."
"This is a cozy little park, tucked into a forested area with a marsh full of wildlife. We've enjoyed our month long stay here. The sites are a decent distance from each other, which offers a small amount of privacy. It hasn't been loud at all. Everyone has been friendly. Dixie at the office is extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable of the area. There's a very nice walkway to explore the marsh. If you're lucky, you may spot alligators, turtles, crabs, otters, and multiple species of birds. There's also a disc golf course, kayak launches, a boat launch, playground, dog park, primitive camping, and an archery course. This place has a lot to offer for everyone."
"Update 9/2023: this park we just visited was a totally different one from what was on this location in 2017. The rv sites are now clean, and site 15 was large and private. The trails are now clear and wide, and all the broken bridges and walkways have been replaced. The entire park was clean and upgraded. The Marshwalk Pier is an attribute to the entire community. In 2017 I swore I'd never come back here, but I will definitely be back now. A great place for a stay or just a day. Definitely 5 ⭐"
"I hesitate to post all the great things about this place. It’s so very nice and clean that it would be a shame for all of the trashy people t come here and ruin it. If I could have- I would have just stayed here forever! What a nice place full of friendly people. I’ll be back and hope that all of the nice, clean and friendly people go here to support this place! It is like a peaceful paradise!"
