Yes, this park has flush toilets & the usual amenities. It is not a rustic park. As far as alligators go, I have not heard of or encountered any problems with gators in this park. There ARE gators, & it is Florida. You should always assume there is a gator if there is a body of water. They blend in extremely well & don't move very much. You can be staring right at one & not realize it is a gator. This park is situated in a small city, so the area has more human activity than a lot of the Florida State Parks. Plus you are closer to a hot meal if your campfire fails you.....
