Cool Solo Florida Circle Trip

I am thinking of doing a solo trip circling Southern Florida starting in my hometown Lake Panasoffkee, going south to the Everglades, then Key West. Goin back up on the east coast US 1 up to around Ormond Beach, then west back home.

ON this trip I am thinking of tent camping, so I am looking for any suggested campgrounds on this route!

Thanks,

P

1st of all PP, that sounds NICE!!

I camped (tent camped) at a LOT of places ALL over the Keys.

Stay at the name brand places like the KOAs I would suggest. I think Jolly Roger is ok. Do not remember that one well 'nuff.

1. The state parks bathrooms SUCK! Like Bahia Honda 'n such.

2. There is a family campground on the ocean side around the 7 MM or 20 MM, somewhere around there. I asked for HIGH GROUND and the guy put me on the highest ground he had. It rained and we were in about half an inch of water.

3. I would not camp in the summer due to the heat.

4. No matter how good your screen is that ur tent has, the "noseems" come right through. NOT fun.

'hope that helps.

Thanks!!! This helps, the reason for tent camping is to make the trip as affordable as possible.
