Product Description
Camping is one of life's great pleasures, and Florida has plenty to offer those who need a quick getaway. But how to find the best from the more than 1,000 choices in the state? The campgrounds in the fourth edition of this popular guide were chosen based on three criteria: they had to be accessible by car but not overrun by RVs; boast great scenery; and be as close to a wilderness experience as possible. Ranging from forest to swamp to coast, these sites are rated by a five-star system for beauty, noise, privacy, security, spaciousness, and cleanliness. Each profile provides essential details on facilities, reservations, fees, and restrictions, as well as an accurate, easy-to-read map. For native Floridians or out-of-state vacationers, this exhaustively researched guide makes it easy to find and enjoy the best tent-camping experiences in the state.

As a native Floridian who has lived as far south as the FL Keys and as far north as the Pan Handle, I turned critical eye on Johnny Molloy's "The Best in Tenting Camping:Florida". I was delighted to see included some of my favorite destinations as well as places other locals have long prized as remnants of the "real Florida". As an experienced kayak camper I particularly appreciated Mr. Molloy's inclusion of information on paddling opportunities. He has provided new information on put-in destinations as well as coaxed me into my many new trail hiking experiences. I find this book accurate in it's assesements and helpful in it's suggestions. When in Florida, keep your sunscreen, fishing pole and copy of "The Best in Tent Camping: Florida" close at hand.

Thanks Johnny for teaching a local few new tricks!


5 out of 5 stars Firsthand knowlegde & a frank discussion on each campground.   June 7, 1999

The person that wrote this book would make a great campground neighbor! He gives a frank review that allow realistic expectations for the prospective camper. Also suggests site #'s that would be less likely to be placed next to a noisy RV. I use this book along with Campers Guide to Florida (2nd Edition), by Mickey Little before I take any camp trip. The Tent Camping book has all the information, but the Campers Guide has campground maps. Makes a great combination!

Planning a trip through FL can lead you through an overwhelming amount of where to stay options. Fortunately,"The Best in Tent Camping Florida" is the perfect guide to help you sift through all your choices and narrow down your search for that perfect place to stay. He has a great rating system for each campground and it is based on beauty, site privacy, spaciousness, quiet, security and cleanliness. He even gives advice on interesting sites worth seeing while you are there. He has really picked out the best of the best Florida has to offer for us "tenters".

A lot of the information in the book can be obtained elswhere, however, the author makes reccomendations to particular sites and desirable areas in the campground, which I have found to be very helpful and accurate. These recommendations make the book priceless. There's nothing worse than reserving a campsite, and then finding out has no shade or has other issues.
