Is tent camping safe? we are thinking of doing a road trip from vancouver bc to orlando fl,?

Ash <3

Just wondering if it is safe to tent camp with a child in these regions?

Answer
It is most safe if you stay in national parks. However, many state parks are safe as well. KOA has campgrounds across the country and usually has a campground host. I would plan my whole trip in advance, make reservations, talk to the campground hosts about your concerns. They are usually very informative when it comes to these issues. I have mostly camped in the west, but have found the situation similar every where I went. I would not camp in isolated areas with a child.

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

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.
