Wow! This is an amazing place. So much in support of the crucifix. Allow time to walk and pray the Canticle trail (St. Francis prayer), to pray in the various shrines, or walk the Stations. The grounds are beautiful and a tribute to Our Father. Our schedule didn't line up for mass, however, plan that if you can. The gift shop rivals the one at our local diocese! A great resource for prayer books, gifts, statues and more. Worth the stop!

We've been coming here for years- my oldest (now 24) started reading the Michigan Chiller books when she was very young and since her Grandpa lived only a mile away from the store - we have come here pretty much every time we come to Indian River over the years. All 5 of our kids love the Chillers series, and I love the adult books (written as Christopher Knight). We have all the adult books, the teen books, and both the Michigan and American Chiller series (still collecting the rest of the American Chillers books, as he is still releasing new ones). Found out today he started a new series "Nightmare Nation" - so I got the first book of that. "Jonathan" and his wife are almost always here- we always enjoy talking with them- they're very personable and funny. He signed the books I purchased today for me as well- he always does if he's here. I always read the kids books as well- written for kids or not- they are always interesting and a fun quick read for me. I wanted to also say that his adult books are as good as Stephen King's (I think even better honestly because King has a tendency to make some "underlying evil force" be the cause of every bad thing in his books- Christopher "Knight" has very unique stories that are absolutely nightmare inducing.) I'm still hoping a new one will come out one of these days ;) Stop in and visit- you won't regret it. And in the summer you are very likely to meet the author and his wife and at least one of their dogs.

The park itself was open, but the entire campground was closed for construction. It was pretty awesome as there were hardly any people there. We had the whole beach to ourselves on Friday and mostly Saturday too. They were plenty of picnic tables that were well kept and grills for cooking on. The beach was very clean as was the water.
