Does anyone know where to go tent camping in sw Florida?

Keenan F

I moved here recently. Most of the places that I have looked around at here are heavily geared towards RVs. I know I can tent camp at these places but I would rather go somewhere a little more like a campground than a resort.

Answer
In your part of the state your best choices probably are state or Corps campgrounds. Here are two links to state campgrounds and one for the Corps.

If you don't mind driving a distance the Ocala National Forest allows dispersed camping outside of campgrounds. It also has a lot of small primitive campgrounds. Here's the link.

You probably don't need reservations this time of the year but during tourist season it's almost a must.

Tent camping in Florida?

The Health

Anyone have a recommendation for a campground (for tents) in Florida? I am amazed at the fact that a place for a tent is more expensive than some of the hotel rooms!!!!! Any suggestions? I am not looking for cheap, but for $60 bucks a night for a 15x15 piece of land, come on!

Answer
Supply and demand! for that price it sounds more like a full hook-up rv campsite. Most national forest and state parks campgrounds for a no hook-up tent site even for popular destinations are around 15-30 a night. http://woodalls.com/ lists all the campgrounds there are.
