St. Joseph Peninsula State Park
My sister, brother-in-law and I have spent the last four years staying
in one of the cabins at the Park. The peace, quiet and the incredible
beauty of the wildlife preserve and the beaches of the bay and the
gulf never fail to inspire and restore my spirit. I am looking forward
to my fifth year in March of 2004. By the way, the park crew deserves
all the praise they can get for their service to the visitors. The
water went out on Easter Sunday and they had it working in three hours.
NOW THATS DEDICATION.

Manatee Springs State Park
"We camped at Manatee Spring in early March of 2003 and we really
loved it! The sites were clean, Spacious, and private. The nature
trails were fun, with plenty of wildlife. The springs were beautiful
and we enjoyed the Manatees. Really impressive!"

Lake Kissimmee State Park
"My four children and I enjoyed our 2-night camping adventure
in March. It was unhurried, uncrowded and quiet! We loved spotting
all the wildlife, including pileated woodpecker, deer, turkeys, a
bobcat, armadillo, and the raccoons really fascinated my kids."

Egmont Key State Park
"Our family had so much fun shelling, snorkeling and hiking in
and around the island. We rented a boat from a marina a cruised on
out to the island. We did a little fishing off the coast. Checked
out the ruins in the water via snorkeling. That was really neat. We
found huge shells here like we've never seen on other beaches. We
hiked through and around the island and saw the old ruins of the base.
We saw turtles and other wildlife. Visiting Egmont Key was definitely
the highlight of our trip. We can't wait to go back. There are cruises
that will take passengers there, but renting the boat for the day
was great."

Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park
"Where the Gulf meets the Atlantic is a perfect place to spend
a wonderful day. You can swim, snorkel, enjoy a picnic, read, watch
a fabulous seascape or just solar nap. Fort Zach has great facilities
and helpful, courteous and knowledgeable staff. It is one of our favorite
Key West destinations!"
