Looking for a park in Crystal River area w/out no-see-ums

We used to stay at Crystal Isles resort in Crystal River, Fl. The last 2yrs. we stayed there the no-see-ums ate us and our dog alive {last yr. was 2011}. Would like to go back to that area in march and are looking for a good park. Lake Rousseau and Rock Crusher look good but reviews don't mention bugs. We like to Kayak and love a warm swimming pool and/or hot tub. We were not sure if the bugs were only bad close to the coast or were they all over the area {I remember we couldn't eat outside at Dan's Clam Shack either} ? Have searched Fl. park review sites w/out any luck ! Thank You for any insights !

And you have camped other waterfront places and NOT had Mosquitos, bugs? Did this last all night or just sunset?
Usually if there is a breeze, it helps with bugs but otherwise it seems it comes with the territory.
Last year, at 7800' elevation on a lake, sunset had bugs, later it was fine!

You are going to find them just about every where there is water in Florida. Two friends of mine that Full Time stayed in Crystal River last year but are coming back to Leesburg because of the no see ums. They said that they could not leave to windows open on cooler days as they would come in right thru the screens.
