We had a lovely time at this excellent site! Beautifully maintained grassy site right on the river, very clean, peaceful with friendly and helpful host couple also staying on site. Nice flat concrete stands with picnic tables. So interesting to watch the boats going through the massive lock, the Corps of Engineers do an amazing job of managing this powerful waterway. So quiet and peaceful, we saw lots of rabbits and different birds, two gorgeous otters, a manatee going through the lock, and lots of fish, although the site fishing pier is currently closed. However, just across the river footbridge is a nice fishing platform, very popular. This is a super site for dogs, and our Havanese Beau loved it. Several other well behaved dogs on site with their owners and of course on leashes. Owners clearly picking up well after their dogs. Some nice trees on site although most sites in the sun. The site is surrounded by farmland or preserves and isolated so seems very safe and quiet. Nice clean toilet and shower blocks, and the RV hookups are well maintained and easy to use. This is traditional RV-ing at its best, grills and fire rings available as well as a covered area for gathering or family BBQ's. The river side of the site runs down to the fast-flowing water, so caution needed for young children. No play park for children, but lots of grassy space to run around. La Belle is about 10 miles away for shops and dining. This is the perfect spot for a quiet, restful stay. Enjoy!

Love this park. The hosts are so nice and always willing to help. The park is always clean. We are fascinated by the locks.

Beautiful campground. Large private sites right on the water. Very well kept and it was great being able to walk over to the locks to watch the boats. Will stay again!

Well organized, clean. Very accommodating camp host. They help us moved to 3 sites in a row so family could be together rather than different sites.

If you are looking for a place to just kick back, relax, maybe fish and just enjoy a water view on a river/waterway, this is where you should go! It was beautiful. The sites are great.

Nothing better than waking up and grabbing a fresh cup of coffee and watching the bosses line up for a lock transit. Gorgeous views and peaceful tranquility.
@FrancesK632 · Camped on Oct 11, 2021 at Campsite #28
Very peaceful. Several campers were fishing by the lock. We also walked down and across the lock bridge and sat and watched the boats enter the lock and hold the rope while the water raises about 17 feet eastward. Very interesting.
