Great experience camping here. There aren't a lot of sites (only 20 in the family area), but there is an astronomy pad, and an equestrian area. They did also recently add in 5 "glamping" cabins to rent that are climate controlled. Make sure to have plenty of red lights for use at night. Even if you're not at the astronomy pad, it's just a courtesy to your other campers.
The weekend we were there they offered a ranger-led night hike, which was cool. We got to ask all types of questions to the ranger, and see a gator swimming at night!
They have a coin-operated washer/dryer at the bath house, and a sink for doing dishes.
Campground is dog friendly.

Beautiful park and we loved our spots, plenty of shade and power hookups. Fresh water, clean bathrooms and showers. Avoid the summer time tho, it's unbearably hot and the mosquitoes at night will swarm you

This place is such an amazing place. We always enjoy camping, but we have never found such a peaceful place.

One of my favorite state parks, it is very quiet and in a remote location. You can always view alligators in their natural habitat! I've camped here, and it is the most relaxing park. Next to no light pollution, so it's great for stargazing. I also highly recommend taking the swamp buggy tour...so much fun!

Beautiful and clean park located in the middle of a marsh. Nothing nearby other than wildlife. Small campground so not much noise but sites are large so easy to navigate in and out. Plan ahead to make sure you have everything you need. Nearest store at least an hour away. If you want to experience nature and stargaze, no place better than here.

Camping here is very reasonable. Many sites are shaded with electric and water. November through January the park offers Swamp Buggy tours of the Prairie and Hammocks. I'm staying late September and there are only two other campers here. Very peaceful.

Night sky! Nestled in a hammock of trees in the middle of a prairie. It’s both remote, quiet, and beautiful. The diversity of plants, birds, the view of the night sky earn this 5 stars for me. Clean bathrooms and even laundry facilities.
