Pristine campground, level concrete pads, & perfect for a peaceful & quiet stay. Lots of bunnies behind our site & the bird watching was great.

First off, our rate was lower due to America the Beautiful senior pass Great campground. Mostly level, ( I think) cement pads and stone picnic / bbq areas. The accessible sites have cement picnic slab Elec & water. Dump Station is limited to once per week. If you use it on arrival, there is a $20 charge. Lovely restful area, seems to be a constant breeze ( at least, at this time of year) that helps. Professionally kept , clean and trimmed landscape. Fishing and watching lock operations seem to be about the sum of activities. And. You can walk right up to locks. Not much vegetation for privacy, but angles and spaced to provide as much privacy as possible. Did not use facilities, so no comment Definitely repeatable

@RobertCr9BBC58 · Camped on Jun 13, 2024 at Campsite #28
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.
@TeresaK2210758 · Camped on May 23, 2024 at Campsite #2
Great little campground. Our site (#2) did not have any shade but we used our awnings and did just fine. The sites in our loop were large with nice space between sites. The grounds are very well maintained. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We were disappointed that the bridge was locked but it was not the fault of the campground. A very relaxing, peaceful experience.
@MichaelB697476 · Camped on May 21, 2024 at Campsite #26
This is a very peaceful place to come if you want a relaxing, quiet camping experience. The campsites are well maintained and the bathhouses are kept in good repair. The electric and water at each site work well. The bath house on the East end is much smaller and there is little privacy when showering. The West end facility is much larger. They are using a sub-contractor to clean the facilities, and for the most part they are kept up well. We did have to mention to the host about an issue with cleaning the facilities, but it was cared for the next day. Speaking of hosts, they are friendly and responsive to comments from guests. It would be nice if they had an on-site ice sales, but they are quite a ways out in the country so it might be hard to get a vendor to supply it. They now have a solar powered phone charger at each end. The site map showed a wi-fi station but we did not see it. There are repairs being made on some of the walkways and at the moment you are restricted from walking across the little bridge. If you just want to chill out (NOT referring to temps), come visit this facility and bring a good book.

Great little campground. All sites are paved and easy access.
@AnthonyG514442 · Camped on May 8, 2024 at Campsite #26
Great hosts. Favorite campground.
@JeromeD0995BCD · Camped on May 7, 2024 at Campsite #35
This is my local "go to place in Florida!" Just need to figure out how to catch some fish. The local bait area is more than a few miles away and Walmart can't keep it on the shelves.
@MatthewK865533 · Camped on Apr 26, 2024 at Campsite #38
The site locations are great, beautiful view of the canal. My only problem was, it stated on the map there were two docks to fish from. There was only one, and to be honest it should be condemned. The pylons were either worn down to nothing or not existent. They also had the locks shut down for viewing due to security issues? This was not disclosed ahead of time.
@DouglasP44DEA0 · Camped on Apr 26, 2024 at Campsite #37

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
