Awesome place to take the family! Love the nature trails, splash pad/park with access to shade, the picnic tables, accessible/spacious bathrooms with dressing rooms! Just a great place all the way around. Love it here’

Nice place to spend a day in nature. About 40 mins from downtown Laffy. Went specifically for birding in early May and was disappointed with variety of species - I heard the warbler but was never able to spot it. Nice for hiking and facilities/splash park though.

Beautiful palmetto palms throughout the park. We have never before seen such a landscape. Camping area is well laid out with adequate privacy. Staff was helpful. Would highly recommend this park.

Stayed early February. It's perfect for riding bikes. Sites large! Truly beautiful. We were not able to do too much of the trails due to so much water no mater which trail you took, but MILES to ride our bikes. We had a great time. Visiting the Tabasco Factory and Avery Island Jungle Garden was the most wonderful surprise. TRULY beautiful.

The park is beautiful!! It's $3 a person ages 3-65. The splash pad is big & clean. They have restrooms and places to get changed and are also kept very clean!! There are ponds to fish at one is a little walk from the splash pad. We could see the fish popping up from the water. They had picnic tables out by the pond and also by the splash pad. Great family day outside. They also offer camping and some hiking trails.

Large private RV sites which are level with gravel for your rig and a cement pad for the picnic table. Fire ring is set to the back and the water hook-up has great pressure. No issues with 30amp electricity & Verizon comes through with 3-4 bars. There's a 2 lane dump station near the entrance so no wait lines. There's also 2 laundry facilities; both clean, good working order and reasonably priced. The park has a lot to offer the family camper with a nature center, splash pad, two ponds and many pavilion picnic and fishing areas. We're enjoying the hard packed gravel nature paths and long bike rides on the paved roads. We were told the canoe run is riddled with logs right now so we skipped it but I bet this place is booming in the summer!

I really hadn't planned to stay here, but I'm so glad I did. Nice place, nice people, free wifi, and it is an incredible place for watching birds; especially turkey vultures (buzzards). I saw dozens of them hanging around, up close and personal like. Stop by and tell 'em PapaJoe sent ya!

Very nice campground/park. Friendly staff and park hosts. Large, secluded sites. You won't find any bathroom or laundry facilities any neater, cleaner or well maintained. Secured gate after hours.

Quiet and relaxing. Nice staff. Couldn't use Wifi to stream TV, too slow. But had 4 over the air stations. Good laundry facility. Would stay again. Gave us 50% discount for over 62.😊

This is awesome place to bring the family. Has splash pad for kids playground, pavilions, a meeting/ party rooms, comfort stations that have washer and dryers,restrooms,and showers. They also have 4 different camping Options: campers with all hookups, tents , cabins , and a primitive camping area. They have canoeing, you can rent golf carts,and a food truck 90 percent of the time. They also have great nature trails,and a few ponds you can fish in. Also have a boat launch to go into the Vermilion River . Awesome place to bring family or just just chill and enjoy the scenery. Me and all my family love this place . We hold family reunions almost every year.
