Status of Florida state parks
Do any of you have a status report on the condition of Gulf Coast state parks? Also Ft. Pickens Nat'l Park campground. Especially in regards to late winter camping.

- Looks like Topsail is open for camping again.
- St Andrews was do to be closed anyway for some campground updates but after seeing the after storm damage, it could be a year or more.
- I was at Fort Pickens just last week (you have to spell out Fort on the Recreation dot Gov site for it come up.) and aside from a couple of spots in the road where the shoulder was damaged, and some sand still on the roads, you would never know anything happened.
Be aware the entrance fee is $20 (good for seven days) and campsites are now $40 per day. If you have a senior pass, the entrance fee is waived and the campsites are $20.
We also rode over to Johnson Beach looking for better fishing, and it was OK too.
Charles - We had reservations for St George Island SP in November which have now been cancelled.....The park service told us it would be September 2019 before it opened again.
- The Fla State Parks site has a status page but it just more or less says they are working on repairs, time frame unknown. I would not expect any predictions.
