Ok, waited too long & all the places in Panhandle of FL are booked up. Any county parks or other to check on? I'm looking the end of Jan & Feb. We normally go along the coast to state parks Grayton Beach is completely booked. Any city parks that have camping.

We generally just stay like 4 or 5 days in one place. Like the water and hiking (easy) trails (and museums enjoy).

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks for ideas - have stayed in some fancamps before - had overlooked that. Also, not familiar with Dauphin Island AL will check out - few years back stopped into Gulf shores State Park as was in the area - amazing all booked up, although huge camping area. About 4 years ago we were able to just travelin FL and stop into state parks without reservations - now everything is filled. Did find a stop in Ft. Pickens -

Dauphin Island Alabama. City owned campground, many sites with FHU and 50 amp. Many things to see and do, close by. Spent 4 nights down there in early November.

Operation of the campground is being shifted jan 1st from the Park and Beach Board to the Town Board. Campground employees were elated and looking forward to improvements and much needed repairs. Decent campground however, I would not hesitate to stay there again.

If you're retired or disabled vet, most military bases have FamCamps that are pretty nice. Or if you are an Elk several lodges have electrical hook ups that are nice for a night over. And both are cheaper than most private parks.
Also check out Fort Pickens on Santa Rosa Island. They seem to have some opens in Jan/Feb.

Thanks all this has helped a lot, will make it much easier to plan. The state parks in FL panhandle that we've stayed in before were pretty much filled your ideas will make things a lot easier and more options!

Blythe Island Regional Park near Brunswick, Ga. Some sites dedicated to winter months snowbirds. Very nice place. Fishing dock and boat launch on the river. FHU and cable.

The Larry and Penny Thompson Memorial Park is the largest park/campground in Miami-Dade County. The park, adjacent to Zoo Miami, totals 270 acres. It is located in southwest Miami, two miles west of the Florida Turnpike's Exit 13 between SW 134th Ave. and SW 122nd Ave. on the north side of Eureka Drive.
Please give me enough troubles, uncertainty, problems, obstacles and STRESS so that I do not become arrogant, proud, and smug in my own abilities, and enough blessings and good times that I realize that someone else is in charge of my life.

Not many that I am aware of in FL, but state forests offer good no```````````````````````````-hookup cg. Is Ft Desoto a county park? Jetty Park on the east coast is a city/cty park on the beach near Canaveral.
