Here is the information I was looking for prior to our trip. We booked a walk-in site online, but you really pick a site that is available when you get there. The sites are spaced out in the big field. The beach front sites are the best, but farthest to walk to. The walk-in sites are only about 50 yards. It was not crowded during Spring Break. There is a great marina store with sandwiches, drinks and snacks. Do not go crazy bringing food, it is close. I would recommend the backcountry tour through the marina, lots of crocs. If you get a canoe, Nine Mile Lake was perfect, lots of alligators swimming around. It was too windy to canoe in the Forida Bay, but in the morning we saw dophins and our camp neighbors saw a shark out there. We will have to go back. We brought ready to light charcoal for cooking. Fires are only allowed in the raised grills. One evening the bugs were horrible, the next it was windy enough to get rid of them. Have all your stuff put away before sundown, you never know. Great Junior Ranger program for the kids. Hope this helps.
