Small but entertaining

Cliff Notes: we liked Site 7 for our tent. We enjoyed the hiking trail, but VERY muddy. Bring a watercraft to explore more. Been there- done that- probably don’t need to go back.

The site: our campsite was small but sufficient for our use. We just had our large tent (8person) with us- no shade canopy this time. I liked the site because it was on a ‘dog leg’ and not on the main driveway. We had RVs on both sides of us, but we had sufficient privacy. Hiking: not much. We walked over to the second largest tree in Florida. It was maybe 1/2 a mile from the campsite. We climbed in the tree and took fun pictures of it. My hubs got bit by several ants, but nothing a little anti-itch couldn’t handle. According to the map, our next hike was about 1.3 miles. We saw a family with a few kids walking out as we started. They told us about a boardwalk. What we should have heard was BOARD WALK- as in walking on boards!!! For my husband and I, it was easy and fun. I’m not sure the same could be said for the dog. And it was muddy- very muddy. Thankfully, there was a hose at the boat ramp/ kayak launch to clean ourselves and the dog.

Overall, we had a nice weekend- great to get out of the house and see something new, but we don’t need to go back.
