Love WP one of our favorites. Some sites have low lying tree limbs that need trimming but it is a beautiful park.

The two volunteers that manage the site were fantastic. We had a broken awning and Andrew got us in contact with someone who can fix it. A shout out for Andrew who was very helpful. Thanks for all your hard work.

Great water views of river and locks. Very nice level paved parking, power, water. Reasonably close to I-75 for easy access. Close to fuel/convenience store and even close to Publix shopping center for groceries.One of our favorite go to sites for RV camping.

A very peaceful spot, water all around, fishing if you want (note me, lol) or just sit and watch the very large and regulary boats ease through the locks. Firepits, restaurants, stores, civilization about 5-8 miles away. Host and employees very friendly, bathrooms older but always clean. Well worth the money.

We have stayed many times here in years past and enjoyed it very much, but this time we pulled up to the gatehouse at about 11:30 (done this before and waited in the RV lot until our site was open). The host camper Carlos was not in the gatehouse but came out from his camper and told us we were all set and could move onto site 16. When we got near 16 the camper was still on the site was still connected to power and water had tables and other personal items out and was sitting in a chair. We waited by the site for several minutes but he did not attempt to clean up or unhook. My husband approached him and said we had the site for that date. He said I was going to hurry until you came now I am going to take my time. I tried to tell him that the Host Camper told us we were all set to move into the site, but he only yelled at me. The Host camper came over but was not helpful at all. It was my inclination to help this camper pick up and move to his new site #25. But he was so belligerent that was impossible. We only had one night at WP but this ruined the whole experience. In the past I have seen host campers help campers get ready to move if they are not off the site by 11 oclock. But this guy only added confusion to a man who obviously wanted a conformation. We patiently waited in our motor home until a while after 12 to move onto the site.
