Awesome place to camp. Great place for star gazing at shell mound.

The woman who supervises the camp is awfully nice. The campground is okay, cheap enough, but the sites are close, no real screen of vegetation between sites. You can even hear the guy snore the next site over, and almost all conversations on any of the sites near you.

If you're out for a fishing weekend, this is the place. Boat ramp at the campground and a trail through the salt marsh to access the water so you can fish from the shore. Take everything you need, as this place is in the boonies... If you are looking for any luxuries, this ain't the place. If you want peace and quiet,(except for the occasional boat engine revving), and to be away from the hustle and bustle, this is it.

Loved the park and the hike. Camp ground was clean and well cared for. But, beware the no-see-ums and mosquitos. Also, it was deer season and there is a cleaning(gutting and skinning) area next to the bathrooms.

Yes there is showers and bathrooms. No laundry. But you can only stay a week at a time. There is a laundromat on the island next to the post office. My favorite campground to visit.

how much are rv sites in the summer months.

Lorraine Grifo | Oct 14, 2019
Jane Brubaker | Oct 14, 2019

Don't know exactly, but the campground was a great find...nice people, awesome nature...the campground doesnt take reservations, but believe me the price is quite reasonable; however, remember you are in a wildlife refuge...in the summer, I imagine the bugs would be a force to be reckoned with...the campground is first come, first served...one thing to remember, the airboats launch from the ramp in the park & they start about 6 or 6:30 AM!! We just stayed there in December and loved it!! We plan to return😊 Jane Brubaker
