Pardon me for upsetting some other members from Florida. It was not intentional.

Where are some good places to go camping? Cheap is better! Need to have a shower.

What is Florida like? What can I expect down there? Thanks
 
What part of Florida are you going to. When I think Florida I think Fort Lauderdale or Miami.
 
I'm driving, so from top to bottom.
 
dude your a trip. lol
fish eating creek is good camping and fishing
okeechobee lake has camping
ocala......na im just playing :grinno:
fl is woods,bugs,rain,and fishing every two feet lol
at the fl border there will be fl boys lined up to inspect your personals to make sure nothing foreign comes in :ROFL:
they almost didnt let neo in cus of his height,but he blinded them with his bling and ran :ROFL:
im just b.s. so dont close this to :D
 
LOL thanks - and yes, I am sure they'll gut my car at the border :) Good one.
Will try those spots out. Thanks
 
Dude youre too funny! Grab a fricken AAA book and itll give you all the info you need minus the fishing crap
 
Thank you Varanio.

Anybody else have things to add?
 
Cichla - thank you for the awesome info. I checked it out. $31 a night before tax - not bad. Somebody else mentioned a $5-10 per night in a state forest park... looks like I have two good options so far.
What is Florida like? I know it's hot and all, but other than that?
 
Florida is like every other state, except it is flat and made of sand. Don't worry about the rednecks though. You can buy some redneck repellant at Walmart as soon as you cross the border. They sell a stronger formula in Georgia and Alabama though. I sprayed some inside a Walmart one time and the whole store exploded.

It is said that Disney is a requirement, but unless you are between the ages of 6-10 it will be a dissappointment. If rollercoasters are your thing, stop in at Universal Studios Island of Adventure (let me know cuz I'll tag along).

Ugly Stick makes a rod and reel set that breaks down into four peices for impromptu fishing. My friend and I take them camping with us. They are light weight and fourty bucks.

Orlando is relatively boring (maybe because I have to look at it all the time), but stop in at St. Augustine, Daytona, NASA (North Merritt Island), Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, and the Keys.

St. Augustine is the oldest city in the U.S. and also has the two oldest standing forts. Castillo de San Marcos is the main fort that was built by Spain. The entrance fee is five or six dollars. Fort Matanzas is an outpost fort of the Castillo and is free. Both are worth seeing. You can spend a full day at St. Augustine and not see everything.

On the way to Florida, take the time to stop in at Charleston, S.C. It is several hours off of I-95 but well worth it. Fort Sumpter is in Charleston Harbor and is where the Civil War started. There is also a military museum at the harbor that has several retired ships that you are free to explore. There is an old aircraft carrier with planes and a submarine.
