This was my first experience parking my 25' Class C on a beach. It appeared that there are hard pads between the picnic table shelters that are now covered with sand, but I pulled up in front of our shelter parallel to the water where it was noisy hard packed. Two reasons... Best view of the bay from inside the camper, and my power cord wasn't long enough to reach the outlet in the shelter on the passenger side. Enjoyed walking the beach, the fishing pier, and the wooded campground. Don't miss the pelicans at the fish cleaning station... What a hoot! Great park. Very relaxing.

Really nice park with a little bit of everything, sports fields, a big playground, a big dog park, ponds, paved walking trails and unpaved hiking trails. Good for strollers. Well maintained. We will be back.

We saw a ton of whitetail deer close up, an alligator that was about 8 feet long, a yellow striped snake and a blue heron. That was just one-way. it is about a mile each way end to end. Nice clean concrete trail.

Walking trail is large enough to accommodate walkers and bikes. Very peaceful walk. The walking trail was concrete, very level and we saw two deer along the way.
