    Let's start by saying that I am a city girl, I love the tall building, having options to dine out, crab a drink, go shopping etc. but after I got married my husband and I started doing a lot of outdoors activities, and today we went camping for the first time ever as a family of 3 and we all loved it! This camping site is lovely! The people are so nice, the area was so nice and calm. And the weekend we stayed they had a karaoke event and it was amazing!! I will be coming back for sure and the best part is only 1 hour away from home !

    The camp site is very clean and the staff is very welcoming and helpful! We spent the day out on the creek enjoying all it has to offer. It's beautiful and full of wild life. Of course, there are lots of alligators in the water but that was mentioned while booking. The only negative part of this park is that it's right off the highway. If you're a light sleeper (like me) it'll be a tough night. My boyfriend is a deep sleeper and slept through the truck noises and cars passing by. Overall, it was a great camping weekend

    Construction upon construction

    Awful! Awful! Awful! This place is disgusting. Not only is most of it under construction, which I assume will improve, but the bathroom facilities are either unavailable, unstocked, or filthy (in some cases all 3). The water smells like a dirty toilet- you wouldn't even brush your teeth under the running water. In fact, even the campsites stink like toilet water due to construction. Many of the sites lack any sort of tree canopy. The generators run all night long from their water pumping and construction machines. The highway is a stone's throw from any site and within view of the swimming hole; thus, excessive highway traffic noise is expected. Heads up to anyone camping with dogs: no dogs are allowed at Spring Lake, which is not noted on the website (it says none allowed at Depot Lake and apparently you are supposed to know that's the same thing). So, when you show up to camp with your dogs, you'll be sad to realize that the 20 other people you are camping with for the 11th straight year are now camping away from you. And when you relocate to your dog-friendly site, don't be surprised if the people camping next site over take it upon themselves to setup on your site too. True story to our experience. The basketball court is dilapidated, and karaoke and other family-friendly activities we've enjoyed in the past are no longer offered. This next piece is not a reflection on the campground, but a warning to anyone looking to canoe or kayak: the water level is so low that you'll be dragging your vessel through alligator-infested water for 75% of your voyage. I just don't see why you'd come here when there are so many other campsites in Florida.

    I definitely want to come back here. The scenery was amazing...the little shop was cute...the only reason I feel like I can't give it the 5th star is because I really only got to stop in with a bus tour. If I was able to stay over and experience the whole of the outpost, I know this would be a 5 star stay. While I'm not sure I'm brave enough to paddle out in a creek with alligators, it would be a fantastic experience and its possible here. I was with a birding group and they were very excited by the birds that were spotted. But let's be honest, getting a picture of a tiny warbler that your non-birding friends won't recognize, or being able to get a picture of alligators while still standing on the shore??...the alligator wins!! If you are in the area, I would say make this stop a priority! Check out their fantastic website to help you plan accordingly!

    Waking up at 8am to a group of people right outside my tent (which was situated at the back of our site) discussing the creek was a real drawback.

    Very well thought out…read more What I camped here for one night with friends. Environment The campsite was fairly large, we were able to fit 2 cars in comfortably. There is a table and plenty of space to set-up tents. There is an outlet and water access. There are lots facing water, but some places can be spotty as there are mangroves. There are also various spots where you can launch kayak/paddleboards which makes it convenient. The bathroom and shower area was very clean and big. The showers I thought was a little inconvenient. (Maybe I am not to this). There are no hooks to hang my towel.. or even clothes.. There is also a dayroom nearby where you can rest if it is too hot in the campsites. In terms of accessibility - everything was easily accessible. I like that there is a bike path that you can ride from the campsite to the North beach. Niceness of all I haven't had a bad encounter, everyone was nice.

    This campground is so nice! We really enjoyed our experience there. Check in was easy, the sites…read morewere well maintained and it's close to the beach! Bikes are a must if you like to bike. Boats and jet skis are welcome, the boat ramp is close. The beach areas are beautiful and there's fishing. If you want to have a fire you can bring your own fire ring or rent one at the camp store (online only). Two cars per site along with two tents. There's a charcoal grill on each site. At the fort there are bathrooms, a small shop they have food, drinks and bait.

You could drive for 30 minutes and still not see everything! We stopped by on a weekday and the park was pretty and relaxing. Not too many people on the couple of trails we did. The observation tower is closed but they still have a nice boardwalk up to that area that makes for a great walk! It's pretty highly elevated for Florida - kind of impressive in person! Entry is $6 per car, and the lady provided a map and recommended her favorite trail. We checked that trail out as well (the white trail), but the height of the observation tower trail was really the star! We decided to drive around after doing both trails, and we saw their campgrounds. So surprising at how busy this place was! It seemed there was hardly an empty spot! Must be a happening place to camp! We'd definitely return for more adventures, as this is a cool park!

    Barron Park is located at the base of the Caloosahatchee River Bridge in historic downtown LaBelle…read more The land for the park was donated by W. Barney Barron and Lois Barron in the 1960's. Lois's maiden name was Hendry. She is a descendant of Francis A. Hendry who was a Florida cattle rancher, politician, and officer in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. Hendry County is named for him. The town of LaBelle is named for his daughters Laura June and Carrie Belle Hendry. For 54 years the park has been the site of the annual Swamp Cabbage Festival held annually the last full weekend in February. Swamp cabbage is the vegetable heart of palm, which grows in the sabal palm which is the state tree of Florida. Pioneers served it boiled. The event has a parade, rodeo, food, and live music. LaBelle also stages other events like the Easter and Fourth of July celebrations in the park. The river provides a beautiful back drop to the park and makes it a popular fishing destination. Park amenities include river front picnic tables, tennis courts, dedicated benches, a covered pavilion, gazebo, stage with large seated area, restrooms, boat docks and slips. The park anchors the downtown area and provides the town with a place to gather for events. I loved the view of the river and the stately live oak trees dripping in Spanish moss. This charming park is the perfect place for a picnic lunch.

This park is directly on the river at the foot of the bridge carrying Florida State Road 29. The park is the host of the annual Swamp Cabbage Festival, which apparently I just missed by about two or three weeks. The start and finish line of the 5 k walk/run is here along with some other celebrations, tents and even a beauty pageant. For those who don't know, swamp cabbage is the vegetable heart of palm, which grows in the sabal palm which is the state tree of Florida. The park has a number of benches facing the slow moving river, a gazebo, a structure with restrooms and a playground. There is plentiful parking and lots of shade. Some folks were fishing when I stopped by. [Review 14817 overall, 319 of 2021, number 1306 in Florida.]
