Ground was a little soggy, but we did have heavy rains a few days before, so just be aware of the weather before you arrive. Mosquitos were VERY active, and even more so at dusk, so be aware of them when planning, and deciding what time of year to visit. Toilets were clean, no smell. Good sized fire ring. Picnic table in good condition and large sized. The host (person supervising the park) was great. Very friendly and helpful. Park was mostly quiet at night, only had my neighbour at the plot next to me arrive at 1am to a bit of a racquet, but that died down soon enough. Other than that, VERY quiet.

Had a great time tent camping with family of 4. Used our sxs to tour the area. We will be back!

I love this campground. It is a great getaway for the weekend. I am not a hunter but I enjoy hiking in Big Cypress. Stargazing is my favorite, no light pollution and you are able to see the sky, peaceful feeling.

Loved the campground and especially the tent area. Quiet and scenic with a gator or two relaxing at the edge of the water. A very different experience than Midway where the tent area is cramped and loud.
A word of caution, however. Every night after 9pm several vehicles drive into the tent despite the sign at the entrance saying the tent section is full. One night some strange guy pulled right into our site and spent the night sleeping in his car! My girlfriend did not feel safe after that.
The campground has two hosts. Surely they can provide better security.

I was pleasantly surprised! The site lent itself to a gorgeous sunset and sunrise. The tent sites were far enough from each other, but still close enough to the bathroom that it wasn't a hard walk. The signage was great to suggest possible hazards (bears, alligators, etc.). The ground was sodden, even when it hasn't rained for almost a month. I can't imagine how wet it would be if it had rained recently. Prepare properly with decent footwear and a good tarp for under your tent. The fire pits were a great size for a larger group. My one major negative had nothing to do with the actual site; one of the other groups had a Jeep with blaring headlights and kept speeding/drifting around the road late into the night. I felt unsafe walking along the road to go to the bathroom.

The campground is very open. Noise travels easily from one side of the lake to the other so be respectful with what you’re doing at your own site. The tent sites are nice and fairly well spaced out. This time of year it can still be very wet in the area though so plan to have a tarp under your tent to keep it dry. December in particular is typically wet and the second you step away from the campground and into the woods your pretty much in ankle deep water at least. It’s a good place to ride your bike on the dirt roads.
