Workers are very friendly, but think the park is understaffed. The bathrooms needed attention, and the campsites where needing attention. Firepits ashes from many fires, and trash in sites. I think this park could use more support. We were only 1 of 3 campers there, so it was not busy. If your goal is to see alligators, this is a park for you. Do not recommend swimming as we saw atleast 5 gators.

Due to the holiday weekend, I was required to reserve 3 days, when I only needed/wanted 1. Paid for all 3. I was unable to make the 1 day wanted (July3), I attempted to cancel the reservation on the 3rd, when I realized that I wasn't going to be able to make it. There was no option to cancel.
