We camp at many Florida State Parks, at Stephen Foster White Springs now, but they have a long way to go to match the beauty and charm of our neighboring Georgia State Parks. Georgia seems to put more money back into their parks while it hard to get a level spot at most or our Florida parks....
Georgia at least cuts the grass and weeds.. We are kind of disgusted with the way our Florida State Parks have been run the last several years.

I don't know what Florida parks you are staying at but I will definitly disagree with your broad brush indictment of Florida parks. I have stayed at 5 different parks in the last year and have not once been dissatisfied with the condition of the park from the foliage to level sites to the restrooms to the workers. In contrast I have been in 4 Ga. parks in the last year that were ok but nothing special. One park we had to move twice to find a level spot and another had so many broken branches on the roads and sites we had to stop and clear them out and another with rude employees who could have not cared whether we were there are not.

x2! If you're staying at Stephen Foster, that's an extremely nice park. Ga State parks have nothing on the Florida ones, I bet you like Skidaway Island too. The only Fl parks that I haven't been impressed with were the ones down south, but there really isn't anything nice down south.
