Click on the campsite you are interested in. A window will open that shows the amount of shade, size and has a picture of the site. If no shade is mentioned, the site is in full sun.
You also can see where bathhouses are located. If you do not want people walking through your site, park away from them.
It is one of our favorite state parks. In the park, take the drive around the loop at sunset, remain quiet and you will see a large amount of wildlife, including deer feeding. Also go to the CCC museum in the park. As the CCC built so many parks, including Highlands, it is very interesting. If the on site restaurant is open, go for breakfast. Decent meal, decent price.
If the tram is running in the park, go. It is very interesting, narrated by a park ranger that will have a lots of info, and you probably will get to see a gator or two.
Outside the park is a lake with a road completely around the lake. Nice drive. You can go down to Sebring raceway. Even if they are not racing, they may be testing some race cars there, very interesting to watch.
I'm sure there is lots more that I have missed.
This will give you a start.
