fort desoto pinellas county park

[garmp]

Fort Desoto Pinellas county park is our destination in early June. Have reservations already, but want some info on eateries in the nearby area. Driving a 22' B+ with no toad, so parking can be an issue. Sea food is a definite plus, but open to most any local fare.

thanks

NoVa RT, you mentioned the toll roads. We're thinking about getting a Sunpass, but I have a question as to how they rate vehicles. I know the rates are per axle and we have only 2 but the rear is dual wheel. When we were in the Chicago area we were told that the dual rear wheels take the vehicle out of the two axle category. Does the same apply to Florida?

Nope-- just counts the axles.

I can't remember what I got but I know it wasn't salmon. My wife and I each got something different. I want to say we had a Mahi Mahi and a Mullet. Either way they were both delicious.

Not big on Salmon myself. What is the preferred fish: salmon, mahi-mahi, mackerel or mullet? Wonder if they serve a mixed platter? Gosh, my mouth is watering in anticipation.

Rangerman, you hit a nerve with smoked fish. To me it's a gotta have when possible. Ted Peters sounds like the place we have to try.

Thanks a bunch!!!

Ted Peters has great smoked fish-- I like the smoked fish dip. Note - they are closed on Tuesday and only take cash !

I just remember the portion sizes were huge!! I could barely finish mine. It's also an open air place so dress accordingly.

Ted Peters Smoked Fish!! Great place to eat. I managed to park my dually there.

I was there about 3 years ago, and didn't have any trouble getting around or parking in a Roadtrek 190 (21 feet). Restaurants in the immediate area had plenty of space. Bring lots of quarters - my recollection is that there are some tolls getting to and from the park.

It's a little ways outside the gate but worth the drive, It's a locals favorite with local prices. It also aired on the Food Network Channel Diner and Dives. Keegans Seafood Never tried Billy's but will in the future. Its looks good too.

Driving and parking isn't bad. Our dually is 22 ft and we drive it everywhere we need to go. Taking notes here as we have camped there 20+ times over the past 6 years, but rarely leave that campground.

I'm headed there tomorrow with my class B. Seems a few restaurants within 4 miles of the park. Our plan is to drive up to Tony and Nello's the first night for dinner. I can update later in the week.
