Florida Tent Camping

With a vast selection of campgrounds to choose from in Florida tent camping has become a popular way to spend a vacation in the sunny state. The cost of tent camping is, in some cases, less than half the cost of a hotel room, so more and more people are choosing to go camping. You can afford to stay twice as long on vacation with this type of accommodation as you can when you stay at a hotel or motel.

The busy seasons for camping in Florida are the fall and winter months. This is because Florida is pretty much warm all year. There are just so many wonderful places to stay. You can camp right on the water and in some cases right on the beach. Most campgrounds offer an array of activities, from Friday night movies to church on Sundays. Most offer bike rentals and some even offer canoe and kayak rentals.

Although you are sleeping in a tent you can still enjoy many of the amenities that you would find in a good hotel. Many campgrounds offer swimming pools (heated in the winter months) and hot tubs or Jacuzzis. Bath/shower houses with laundry facilities are pretty much standard facilities on all campgrounds.

Other attractions are miniature golf, shuffleboard, recreational rooms with pool tables and organized functions, hiking and/or bike trails as well as boating and fishing excursions.

Many campsites have power and water to make your stay more comfortable.

So if you are planning a getaway with family or friends then tent camping in Florida may be just the thing for you. Check with your local sporting good stores for camping guides for different areas or check the Internet to see where the camping hot spots are.
