Where to Camp.
There are many public and private Florida campgrounds and Florida RV parks to choose from. What we suggest is, read as many reviews of the various campgrounds that you can.

We did a simple search and found great tips and suggestions. Try searching under Florida campgrounds, Florida RV parks, reviews, tips, etc...We found that camping was set up really nice nowadays. When I camped as a kid, there was a tent, a fire, and that was about it. You have options nowadays, so know what you need in a campground and go find it.

Also, get yourself a Florida road map. This will be your lifeblood when traveling to Florida campgrounds and Florida RV parks!!

Here's an article for an in depth look at some of the best Florida State Parks.

Setting Up.
You will want to look for high level ground, a water source, an area for cooking, an area for cleaning, shade, and other camping necessities. Be sure that if you want quiet not to set up by a major road or highway. Most of this is common sense, but we feel we should mention it.

Things you'll want to consider.

• The heat. Remember, Florida campgrounds can get quite hot.
• Does the place have a pool, electric, shower, water, restrooms? Although you may want to "rough it" for the trip, these items will make life a bit easier so you can enjoy your vacation.
• Costs of camping or staying in a hotel.
• Do you have an RV? Access to air or shelter? Just for added safety, security, and comfort.

Also, keep your checklist, plan meal times, stay clean, know the rules and regulations of the Florida campgrounds, and enjoy the area safely.

We suggest you familiarize yourselves with the local wildlife. Know what is out there, what to steer clear of, and so forth.

It is a campground, and even though many arehighly regulated, there is wildlife. Dangerous or poisonous plants & animals could pose a threat to you and your loved ones.

Ask the rangers or people in charge of the Florida campgrounds or Florida RV parks about dangerous areas, plants, or animals.

Here is a must know list of safety tips for your camping trip...

• Discuss with your health care professional about any medical issues and conditions.
• Review &/or get equipment.
• Know the area you're going to.
• Know what to do if something happens- lost, animal problems, injury, weather.
• What sweet skills do you need? Compass, first-aid, setting up camp, and as Napoleon Dynamite would say...
  'Bowhunting skills.'
• Stick together at all times.
• Make appropriate reservations and know the rules.
• Have emergency stuff and survival pack.
• Leave your itinerary with someone with information about yourselves, your vehicles, etc. - if, God forbid, something happens.
