campsites in 56 Florida parks

Water and power are NOT requirements of "Camping".. LOL I would love the ability to camp there too. It would greatly reduce the costs of training in Florida.

Bring back rustic camping!!!....no bathrooms, you dig a hole and burry it when you leave for home. No potable water, you "fetch" it from the nearest river/creek and boil it (to be sure) it's safe for drinking. Food is packed in, empty containers packed out.

Makes me really appreciate my newfound method of camping...Holiday Inns. Roughing it would be the Blue Fin Inn in Islamorada on the way to the fishing boat...which has plumbing and potable water LOL. That's what age will do to ya

I wouldnt be for camping at Peacock. I wouldnt mind camping there myself with other cavers, but not for the general public.

Just FYI - the camping would almost certainly be on the north side of 180th (Luraville Rd.) on the newly aquired land the state purchased couple years ago. Not "in the park" as most of us know it.

That would be alright.

River camp?

Requires a bit of hiking, pack light





Its open to hikers... but it was meant(as I understand it) for paddlers to utilize on overnight trips down(and I guess up?) the Suwannee

Yes, they built a series of these for the Suwannee River Wilderness Trail. If I remember correctly they span from the FL/GA border to the gulf. Or at least that was the plan a couple years ago. Not sure how many they actualy completed.

Ive been to the Peacock Slough river camp on the Suwannee. It is very nice.

Yup! I pretty much grew up in the woods - my grandfather was a guide, my father was a game warden, and I spent a lot of time camping from a young age. Used to guide week-long canoe trips in Maine and Canada, and did a lot of trips on my own, up to a month in the bush. Now my favorite campsite is the cottage at Dive Outpost!
