Park Notes:

• Look into getting Adventure Pass which provides 1 yr park entrance pass, 2 free camping nights, 10% off and 1 free picnic pavilion reservation. Normal Cost $99. $89 earlier in the year.
• Campsite does not come with free vehicle entrance. Vehicle not covered by adventure pass would pay 1-time entrance free ($10) for the entire stay.
• Lots of gnats in April. Good news the gnats do not bite.
• April has a lot of birds, gators, gnats (non biting), gopher turtles
• Has laundry in both loops. Laundry in Loop 2 was cheaper than loop 1.
• Bath houses were up to date and in good condition. Though a large spider scared John out of the men’s shower.
• Due to heat, we did not hike a lot of the trails. We did ride our bike. The park roads provide about 5 miles of bike riding.
• Close to shopping.

Campsite Selection:

Many pull through sites. The problem is that quite a few have shared driveways or you have to backout due to the turn being too sharp.

Below are the best guess sites for selection.

• Site 38 – Full Starlink – Very Little Shade – Need to back out of site due to exit turn.
• Site 43 – Partial Starlink – Afternoon Shade – Pull Through
• Site 34 – Partial Starlink – Some Shade – Pull Through – watchout potential low branches especially if breezy
• Site 37 – Partial Starlink – Some Shade – Back In
• Site 8 – Starlink Possible for cable long enough – very little shade – Pull Through
• Site 19 – ?able Starlink – afternoon shade – pull through
• Site 23 – No Starlink – Shaded – Pull Through
• Site 16 & 18 – No Starlink – no afternoon shade – Pull Through – Loop 1
• Site 17 – No Starlink – little to no afternoon shade – Back in
• Site 11 in the woods – No Starlink – Shaded – Back in
• Site 10 – No Starlink – Shaded – Has live oak with moss (gnats) – Back in
