Rib Eye Steak - I found this campground while diving along Florida's east coast, and I RV camped there in August 2004.

Campground Review

This is a wonderful campground. The inlet is man-made, and it cuts through the barrier island. The current is fearsome between tides. Fishermen were on both sides of the inlet fishing. The noseeums ate us up. We felt something biting us around the ankles however we couldn't see what was biting. That evening both ankles had a rash like appearance where the little blood suckers had bit us. So be sure to take insect repellant. One of the Florida park rangers was very snotty. I had not stopped at the stop sign at the ranger station (being in a totally strange environment) and this park ranger tore out after me. She explained the stop sign was a legal sign that I needed to obey. I said I was sorry. Around an hour later I notice a sheriff department patrol car. The park ranger was talking to the officer and pointing in my direction. This really put me on a guilt trip. Neither one of them came over to my campsite. The beach was fantastic, and there's a park store and restaurant.
