    Original Florida Lizard !

    Had a good time. We stayed in the small cabin. It had a window AC unit. Good enough to sleep in and only $5 more then the tent. Nice quite camp site.

    Very nice 400+ acre park for easy walking/hiking. There is lots of shade, but unfortunately lots of mosquitoes as well. (I prepared by wearing a long sleeved shirt over bug repellent.) Today a thunder shower rolled in just as we were departing. There's a cool little campground, a nice playground, a clean bathroom facility, two cabins that can be rented, an 1840's church replica (being remodeled & repurposed into a nature center), lots of beautiful cows, & a really sweet wooden forty foot observation tower-- see pic. There's just 3.5 miles of unpaved nature trails, but there are other trails that in total add up to approximately 13 miles. You can canoe & kayak here. We saw lots of people fishing, & were told that on site classes are offered for those who want to learn how to fish. (You must preregister.) We saw lots of birds, squirrels & even turtles. Had we gone on the water, I'm sure we would have seen more critters:) Maybe next time. I did not take the pics; I had to promise to leave the phone in the car:) Nature is so much more enjoyable without it.

    Such a quiet friendly place. Took the grandkids to camp for a week. They had a blast fishing, playgrounds and climbing the tower. Still close to town for the forgotten items (bait ice and more snacks).

    We really enjoyed ourselves! ...The weather was beautiful today, so the girls and I celebrated Spring! The two playgrounds were the best we've been to in a while. The larger one is in a sunny location with bathrooms and a pavilion nearby. The smaller one was shady, yet dry and open, also with bathrooms and pavilions nearby. I loved the smaller one best! The nature inspired playset was adorable! and there were swings!! The bathrooms at both stops were super clean. Our final stop was the tower and boardwalk. We enjoyed a beautiful sky at treetop level, several trails, and a boardwalk crossing a grassy marsh. What a way to enjoy an awesome Spring day!

    What a great park! We were looking for somewhere to camp last minute on a beautiful April Saturday. We don't live too far from here, so we figured we'd check it out. While we were hoping to find somewhere with primitive camping set back a bit from everything (and everyone) else, we were satisfied with what we found. This park has campsites available for $5 per night, and you can fit 2 tents per campsite, which includes a picnic table, a fire ring, a grill, and firewood. There are 10 primitive sites, located about a 1/2 mile hike back from the observation tower and a little farther from the cars. Upon arrival, the ranger informed us that there was one other group and they chose campsite 10, so he put us on the other side on campsite 3. A younger couple did arrive later and they were at campsite 1, but we only saw them when walking along the trail. Our campsite was the best we saw there, as the trash can was on the trail, and then we were tucked back a bit with a large open area surrounded by woods. We could hear the other people, but for the most part we had the privacy we desired. Beautiful trails, the park is kept up well, and this would be a great place to camp with a group. My son will be camping here with the Boy Scouts next month on the other side of the park, so I look forward to seeing how that's set up. But we're fans! There are lots of other amenities located at this park, but we didn't really explore too much. The park is pretty big, and worth a trip to visit.

    Very fun and quiet spot for my two young daughters and I! There were tons of walking trails and two separate play grounds!
