Oscar Scherer SP, FL

Oscar Scherer SP, FL in June, any suggestions?
We'd like to make reservations, but can't really decide from the pics on Reserve America's site. Will have a B+ with a slide 22' long and need 30 amp power, anything beyond that, water, sewer would be a plus but not required. Would like something close to a shower house and sort of private, not in the open. Level site would be great, but most seem to be.
Also need advice on what to do in that area, beaches, sights, restaurants, groceries, etc.
RVReviews provided some good info, but of the more general kind. I'm after individual thoughts about which camp site, beach, restaurant, etc is better from your experience.
Also would the second full week in June be a mistake as far as weather/crowds are concerned?
Thanks

    You'll have to check the park website or ReserveAmerica for site details. But you should have no problems with a Class B. The sites further back in the park, to the east I'm guessing are directly on the creek that flows along one edge of the park. Try for one of those.

    Weather in June should be for afternoon thunderstorms possible every day. Most of the sites are shaded and to a Florida resident, anyway are nice and cool. The big crowds show up for the winter months not the summer.

    For beach access there are several roads connecting to the beach. The park itself is semi-urban (tho it doesn't feel that way inside the park) and there are shopping centers whichever way you turn on Hwy 41. The one to the north is better and has a nice theater too. There are all sorts of restaurants in the area.

    Myakka River State Park is a place you may want to visit, especially if you want to see gators. The Ringling Circus museum is worth a visit too.
