What we loved: Being able to walk out our door and take some nice hikes. This is a small state park. The terrain was somewhat challenging so that made up for the shortness of the trails. The walk to the Falling Waters was shorter than we were used to, and was on a board walk much of the way. So that made it safe for families. There is nice little beach. The sites were all flat. The camp hosts were attentive and even offered to help change a tire. The bath houses were clean. We met some great people, as is typical of most campers!
What was lacking: We love long walks and hikes. We had to be very creative to get in a 3.6 mile hike. We had to drive to town to do laundry. We knew there were no sewer hook ups. The website warned they were working on the sewer system, so when we used the dump station, and even walking by it, the oder was a bit unpleasant. Hopefully, this will be taken care of soon. We wrote a blog with lots of pictures, which is uploaded.

Arrival at this fabulous park can be a little daunting if you don't realize you first turn into the park, pull over into a designated area - while trying to talk to the Ranger - but only pull over. After you pull over, then get out and go inside the Ranger station. We pulled up to the Ranger - who stands outside to greet you as they see you coming. But then he said to pull over, but we had to back up our rig to pull into the spot for RVs. Then you have to turn around, and cross over A1A. The Rangers are the best at welcoming you and answering any questions.

Little Talbot Island State Park campground is what you might expect on a Little Island; but it has water, electric, picnic tables, clothes line and a fire ring as well as relatively clean bathrooms and showers. We were glad we were in an RV, but this campground seems better designed for tents or pop-ups. We thought we had one of the best sites for an RV, except it was narrow. It was very private, with only one neighbor out our back window. But there was enough space and foliage to not make it "in the window." We had rain and/or clouds every day. Aside from the weather, here are the good points:
-Private
-full of nature
-family oriented
-fabulous outdoor activities from beach combing, kayaking, hiking in a hammock, fishing, birding, bike riding, small museum, wildlife, knowledgeable Park Rangers
-Relatively quiet, in most parts of the campground (but A1A borders the outside and there were a few hot rods/motorcycles that like to drive a bit too fast/noisily)
The only negatives:
-if it rains, it can be pretty miserable if you are in a tent. The road and ground is sandy/dirt. So you will have ruts and a bumpy ride in and puddles for the children to splash in!
-the sites are narrow and some are close together.
-when it rains, it is hard to keep the floors in the bathrooms and showers clean.
I've uploaded a blog that tells all about the State Park which has so much to offer if you like nature and the outdoors.
