We haven’t been there since 2017, but back then this was all dispersed camping (no numbered sites) and the showers and toilets were in a different area (+ looked a lot different) and just finished. This was our fav camp spot in South Florida, we spent LOTS of time here 😊 because it was dispersed, there were a lot more openings and it was easier to get a camp spot back then. We also didn’t need reservations then. You could pull in and ask the camp host for a spot and they would let you stay as long as you went online and filled out the form 😊 it looks very different now!

My kids were so worried about me, I ended up staying at Cracker Barrels. Yuk! Maybe next year!

Could definitely see you guys living on a boat after van life. Roodle was SO CUTE trying to shop the tables at the market. 😄 Perhaps a big benefit to alligator infested waters is that they keep those waters more preserved for wildlife.
