This was a very nice campground with LIVE alligators right next door. It accepted Passport America for a discount. The campground was booked solid on this date, so reservations are highly recommended. There were 179 sites, and all of the sites were paved, as were the roads. They were in 5 long rows of 36 with 3 sites on the side. The road to the left was one-way into the sites, and the other five roads were one-way back towards the office.All sites were 70-foot long concrete pull-thru sites, 20-30-50 amp, sewer, water, cable and wireless internet. The internet was not-secured and sometimes painfully slow, sometimes OK. Great cable TV with lots of channels. There was a laundromat, a clubhouse, and pool on site. The pool was open 7 a.m. to dusk(this is Florida so the pool does not close down after Labor Day).Cars and RVs can be washed for an additional fee. Occasionally, a jet would fly overhead and that would be quite noisy. A few trains were also heard, but they were in the distance, so they were not very loud. |

Below: The campground office had a fish tank with small fish and a FAKE alligator in it. The two RV Gypsies did not know why an alligator would be in the tank, either fake or real, until a bit later when Lee Duquette saw the LIVE alligators right next door to the campground. (see photos below). |

Beside the Alligators, there was a big building and it held a party of some sort on Friday night, and music was played until 2 a.m. Karen Duquette did not photograph the building. |
