I love this place! This used to be a sheriff's camp for bad boys, (there are still some bad boys that visit, mostly on weekends) so the buildings and water system came with the property. I travel all over the country and this place has a commercial reverse-osmosis water system. Fresh water with no rust - unlike untreated well water. I don't need to use my water softener and it's great for washing the rig with no streaks.
The place has everything from primitive tent sites, cabins, guest rooms, a regular house and some RV sites. As far as RV sites go, they need to put stone on the ground to park on as well as put in some simple septic tanks until the plans advance on the other improvements. I spent six weeks here the beginning of 2013, it has very easy access for a big rig, only 30amps available and only a Sunday pump-out service for the black tank, which they charge $10.00. Great wifi in the clubhouse. The bar and cafe is open on weekends, the professionally landscaped heated pool and volleyball area are very nice. A large modern shower house and miles of trails in the woods is why I like this location.
Deer roam around the lake area in the evening as well as mosquitoes. You can canoe on the lake. Weekends are the busiest and I think there is a bon-fire each Friday (not sure) and the moonlit nude hikes are interesting. Almost all of the property is clothing optional - and it's a big place.
This is the closest gay campground to the Fort Lauderdale/Miami/Fort Myers/West Palm Beach area. Make sure you know exactly where to turn onto their road, (don't arrive at night with a rig) the sign is small and this is in the middle of orange groves. If you miss the turn, it's a drive before you will be able to turn around, and if your towing, it would be even further. This is a two lane road with wide deep ditches on both sides, once on their property the winding paved road to the clubhouse is very easy...make sure you arrive in time to set up before it starts getting dark...and if driving up from I-75 through the Indian reservation - 25MPH means 24MPH!
