    Matlacha isn't a fishing village anymore. Its a drinking village with a fishing problem. April is a great month to explore this area. Starts emptying out a bit.

    Wow that campground is beautiful ❤️ and the park along with the main street downtown was amazing. So many bright colors in that town. Gotta love that. The water is just so peaceful. The palm trees blowing in the breeze is the perfect touch to a tropical get away. Just beautiful. (Emilie)

    Ok now this is a million dollar camp view ! I absolutely love the colors we have in Florida! It is one of my favorite parts about living here.

    My parents brought me to Matlacha back in the early 80's and even though I was pretty young I fell in love with it, I've been to Sugar Sands a number of times and was kinda disappointed you did a video on it.... now everyone will know about it!

      Richard, SW Florida is heaven in the winter time. The weather, beaches, atmosphere, towns, and events if your used to living in winter climates is a treat. With that said it gets more crowded and touristy every year. They are the only campground in that immediate area and not many others within 30 minutes. Matlacha is a nice place although very crowded to spend an afternoon/evening and maybe an overnight but the campground is more of a base than a destination in my opinion. As far as the price its the only game in town so they can ask whatever they want but amenities and privacy are extremely limited in my opinion.
