Okay... GREAT... maybe is a bit much to say for such a short visit we had, BUT overall it was such…read morea good visit and the staff member who attended to us was completely unforgettable - Jade was friendly, courteous, casual, and super informative. She tried as hard as she could to make sure we spotted Manatees out in the bay... and while we personally never got to see them this was in no way a reflection of he attempts to point us in the right direction twice! She keyed us in on the best times to come in for kayaking, wildlife viewing, swimming, etc. I did not really find the swimming all that enjoyable but that is mainly because of the "Wetlands" feel and all the grass growth in and around the swimming area; but for the pelicans, crabs, pipers, and other creatures we did see (Manatees I WILL see you next time!!!) it is apparent why this growth is so important. Ao, thank you E.G. Simmons Conservation Park, and thank you Jade for being so friendly and kind.

BEWARE!!!!!!! DO NOT COME!!!!! First I wouldn't even give this place a rating! Resort what a crock,…read moretalk about using the word very loosely, this place is a piece of crap just to keep it family rated. Management ruins it and they will over charge you to cover their favorite people's electrical charges. This place should be shut down and put new management in, you will get harassed and attacked by put bulls. Do not come here environment is horrible and they will charge you $1000 for 3 day stay for electricity. It is the worst place to stay and who knows what other type of shady stuff is going on. Manager can't even manage this place and will try to harass you to pay higher rates, illegal charges for your electricity. Breaking federal law!!!!! In just one year this manager has put this into the dump stage !

One of the nicest things about the park was the people. Everyone was very nice and seemed to go out of their way to make us feel at home.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!…read more Negatives..... We were greeted by a person that lives in a camper up front that said she backs up the office when they are not available. Super nice lady but again NOBODY in the office during regular working hours is unacceptable. Did not get the spaces we prepaid for. New ownership said reservation was made under old ownership. They are not honoring preselected sites. The 60 cable channels are for the clubhouse only. When we asked about it we were told you have to get your own provider. Wifi ..well lets say it might get you 1 or 2 bars. I was told they have many internet connections throughout the campground and anything that ended with Spectrum 5G is their wifi and was given the password. Yes there are many listed on the wifi scan but when you click on them and put in the password it tells you "You can not connect". People are correct you can SELDOM get anyone to answer the office phone during the day. We went to the office to ask about propane delivery. They lady told us there was nobody that delivers propane. We asked a few more questions like when will the dryers (ALL THE DRYERS -4) be working she said "After we get our propane delivered." In my head I was thinking "Lady you just told me nobody delivers propane!?!?" There is no water pressure most of the time. Good thing I caught it when it was actually working and filled our water tank so we could use the bathroom and brush our teeth. At the time of this writing, there is a complete water outage in the campground. Lasted DAYS!!! Super tight accommodations. BIG RIGS beware. Electrical at pedestals is questionable. Some 30s work and some 50s work. You have to find your own working outlet. Some RVs had to move to a different spot just to find power. During our stay multiple vacationers around us left early out of frustration. No security at all. Anyone can wander in. We ended up moving to a different camp grounds... Yes we lost a week of prepaid vacation and had to pay double for the last week but it would have been worth it at 3 times the price. Positives.... The campground is small. It is quiet (great for relaxing). The campers that are here are really nice. Reasonably priced fees. Going for walks is nice as you have a mixture of sun and shade so you don't bake.

Last week we explored to the East, logic dictates we head West because there's more land, more trails and a brisk twenty minutes in, past the equestrian area and I had wished I brought my compass . So I looked to the sun, it was my nearing 9:45AM so I made a quick little sundial and determined my bearings, keeping the rays at my right shoulder, a tall pine in the distance for extra measure. So quickly the terrain can change from soft and slow white sand to fast packed non-silty soil to brown and boggy muddy to green and lush all within a stones throw in any direction. Know this friends - you'll be given no help from signage - only arrows , there are numbers from 15 to 3 - yet, not telling ya anything at all - no maps at the gate, nobody in the booth at the gate - nobody official looking around, so be aware of that if you want to see beyond the next turn. Getting turned around is easier than going straight towards the trails end. I assumed that the 15 I saw, then the 7 I saw then the 3&4 means I'd be on a cylindrical circumnavigation - looping back to the pavement that takes you in and separated the two very different sides of the park. We came up on Dude Lake and here in this primitive shallow shored lake - along with birds, turtles are sounds unique to my ears, movements in the brush that have the dogs diving into and thrashing within - only to pop out from the other side dumbfounded and disappointed. There are things that are unseen underneath - human penetration is virtually impossible without damaging the plants, vines and thick green entanglements. I believe these are small creatures, whatever they are but emit the most beautiful sounds, whatever they are.

The park is very convenient off I-275 on US 41. The streets are paved, the sites are gravel for the RV, parking for your vehicle is grass with a concrete patio with a picnic table.

They have a nice saltwater pool which was the perfect temperature. I really enjoyed There are also amenities & things to do but we did not take part in them. The sites are decent so you have room between your slides and the neighbors. Everyone we met was very nice. I want to mention Jaden Clark, who works in the office and Marty, head of maintenance.
