The campsites here book up quickly for weekends. But if the weekend you want to come is booked, always check back. Sometimes folks cancel & you can get a site, even at the last minute!Upvote4Downvote
Social News NetworkOctober 29, 2013This state park is the best way to get away for the weekend/day. There are beautiful bike and foot trails. Go in the Fall when the weather is cool and the mosquitoes aren't swarming! Bring sunscreen.

David WJanuary 1, 2014Stop by the visitor center for great exhibits of local flora and fauna and live animals. But even more so for the excellent and friendly staff. My first trip to this park was wonderful.Upvote3Downvote- Ryan MissmanOctober 7, 2013George Observatory is one of the only ones in the country that allows the public to view through the lens on Sat nights. Be sure to see it!

First LastSeptember 6, 2013Beautiful place to bring the family. Be careful of alligators. Entry fee could stand to be a little easier on the wallet though.UpvoteDownvote- Elizabeth SmallJuly 21, 2012Air like pea soup and mosquitoes the size of Volkswagens, but beautiful scenery and good biking trails for hybrids. Wear sunglasses so your eyes don't get full of gnats.Upvote1Downvote
