June 20th, 2010
Camping is the ultimate adventure, and camping in Florida is inexpensive as well as great fun. You have one initial outlay of expense, when you purchase your camping gear and thereafter it should give you many years of service. The expense factor is what draws many adventurers to camping, but they also enjoy it as a way of going on vacation more often than you might normally be able to afford. Camp site fees are not expensive and you don’t have to be a certain type of person to enjoy this kind of holiday.
There is such a lot to do and see in Florida, the coastline is great and it is also interesting to visit the interior of the state. Florida has very good weather which makes it an idea destination for camping. Lovely golden beaches and warm seas to swim in are a draw card, but this is not all Florida is about.
From Panama city to Miami where you can experience Cuban culture, you will be very pleased with any of the choices you make and camping makes for a perfect family vacation.
North Florida and Santa Rosa County in particular, provides for some spectacular adventures. Milton is the county seat for this state and is also one of the oldest cities in Florida, so it is well established and has some interesting history too. This city was incorporated officially in 1844.
Adventure seekers find Milton a delight as there is so much to do, enjoying nature up close while you rope or rappel your way down scenic mountains, and of course water sports. Close to Pensacola, Fort Walton and Panama City, Milton is the ideal city to make your base to explore these areas. But when you are camping your home is mobile, so you could hope from one camp site to the next to visit all of these places. There are plenty camp sites available in this vacation state.
The Blackwater River State Park is also very close to Milton and is one of their hot spots. It is situated only 15 miles away from the city, has great facilities in the camping grounds and visitors are able to enjoy pristine riverside nature at its very best. This National park is fantastic for swimming, fishing and kayaking.
Fort Walton is famous for the Gulfarium, which is basically an aquarium facility where you are able to learn more about the sea-life of the Florida coast. It is filled to the brim with interesting sea creatures and you are also able to enjoy entertaining dolphin shows as well as the comical sea lions. The Manatee also makes its home in Florida and it is a rare experience to visit these gentle creatures.
