Cool at night and warm enough during the day to hike, enjoy the fire pit and take an incredible boat ride. We saw - without exaggeration - at least 8 alligators, sunning themselves on a warm spring day. We also saw tons of birds - osprey, hawks, even an eagle!! (I tried to add one of the videos of an alligator jumping into the water as we rode by, but couldn't figure out how to do it)! Our camp cabin was FABULOUS!! Very comfortable beds, sparkling clean throughout, nice kitchenette and living room, plus a wonderful screened-in porch. Everyone at Idlewild is SO nice and helpful!! Great fun meeting other visitors from all over the country! We will definitely be back again. Thank you Matt!!

This was my very first time ever doing any sort of off roading to this degree. Previously the only…read moreoff roading we did was the flat lands out here in the everglades. We camped onsite so we could be a part in the night time activities which was a bonfire and night trail rides. Friday night the bonfire was huge and there was tons of stuff to do. They had a big hill with logs on it, a pit and the trail rides. We weren't done until about 10pm. I can't speak for Saturday night as we were going to just build our own campfire and hang out hubby and I, so we didn't go. The trails. They have 3 of them. Two are for stock and the other one was for 33" tires or bigger. At each trail entrance they had staff and through out the trails were little off ramps with things to do. Each one was classified as EASY or MODERATE-HARD or EXTREME HARD SPOTTER RECOMMENDED. They even had a spotter at a couple of the places through out the trails. They have a rock area and a mud pit as well. Everyone was super friendly and had a wonderful time. They served breakfast and lunch for pretty cheap as well. I can't wait to go to the next event.

Our captain really knew a greatbdeal and I learned a great deal about the swamps. Saw a real cold-water spring, and he got us into some open water where he could show what anbairboat can do.

When we arrived (4:00p), the office was closed and there was no paperwork on their late arrival board for us. I finally found a young man employed by the park, who was actually talking on the phone with the manager. He was able to advise me to check our email confirmation for our site number. Fortunately, it was there. When we got set up on our tiny space, it dawned on us we did not have any paperwork showing the internet password or the codes to the restrooms or pool. I left 2 more messages for the office, as it was still closed. I never heard anything back from them. Definitely will not be staying there again.
