The campground is a beautiful recreation area. The camping area is approximately a mile up hill from the entrance gate and the swimming area. Two loops make up the camping area with 30 sites each. The higher numbers offer the most shade for the campsites. However, the other sites have shade with the exception of mid-day.
Wildlife abounds in the park.
During our six-day stay, we saw otters, deer with fawns, raccoons, squirrels, hawks and other birds, and an alligator. There were two different groups that I spoke with that saw black bears. My oldest daughter and I hiked the well-marked hiking trail from the campground to the Sand Lake area. The entire trail loop is approximately 13.5 miles. However, we didn't hike that much of it.
