Been there many times. It is a great park and about 2 miles from the best beaches aroound. The racoons are not afraid to the day time either, keep ALL food of any type inside until you are ready to eat. I have seen them try to open tents during the day!! If you dont have pets, the sites 201 - 230 on the water are the best. It may be difficult to get reservations if you want to go soon, but a few months from now you may get what you want. The summer is great for the beach, but terrible on the bugs (but isn't all of florida!)
