Reviews
"Great for fishing, camping, and other activities during the year."
"Off the beaten path... Quiet.. Great showers and restrooms.. very nice for rest and relaxation and fishing. It is the middle to late part of February and I was the only one here for the most part for an entire week. You can collect firewood from going around and looking and the place is very spacious as well as a covered for some of the spots that you camp. I am hoping to come back here because there is no noise from the highway no noise at all at night. There are some wild hogs, deer, coyotes and lots of wildlife and birds."
"Nice hidden campground off the beaten path. Beautiful sunsets over the lake. Gators in the lake. Have some extra hose with you to hook to water. We used 125' of hose."
"We had a great 4th of July week camping. We fished, walked, camp fire fun, grilling good time with family and friends. If you are disabled you can get a pass card so you only pay 1/2 price a night. Call and ask here at this state park. RVs and tent areas and grill for a day spots."
"We went fishing there, but, being April, the winds were to rough and the water was to choppy. The sites are well laid out. There are cleaning tables at the sites to clean your fish. Electric and water at each site. Located right on the channel with boat launch and dock. No swimming due to the alligator population. Reservations required in advance."
