“Great stop off area on the way to the Florida Keys, the only complaint would be the lack of shower facilities.”
“We enjoy the break and relative peacefulness of the campground on our way to and from the Keys.”
“Quiet and peaceful campground that was clean and wee groomed. It was just what we needed while traveling through Big Cypress Preserve. ”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (21,463 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
