Loved our three nights there. Clean and tidy. Just the roads were very bumpy. Weather doesn't help them keeping them smooth. Not recommended for cars, until roads redone. Hope to return again.

Some great trails on a beautiful day. I went there for a bike ride and let me tell you the names are tricky. I'm definitely out of shape and haven't ridden a bike in a while and even the "easy" trail had me putting in some work, but it was fun and so worth it. I'll also add be it hiking or riding bring bug spray! The mosquitos were out in full force!!

A great place to camp you just have to contact Southwest Florida water Management district and set up an account on their website and you can reserve a spot here for up to 7 days really liked it nice and peaceful
