Hi guys,
I'm new to the site and I was wondering if anyone knew of places in Florida where I can set up camp on the ocean with my Westy.
Thanks,
Chris |

Check out Florida's state park system. Great camping up and down the coast.

Got down to 19* here the other day lol, slowly rising to the 50s and 60s this week! We have for barrancas here in pensacola with camping available, you can look at a fort - and then go flop around in the gulf if you desire!

That's what I'm noticing. There are lots of really nice parks along the entire coast, but very few where you can camp. And the cost of some of them is around $36.00 per night. |

While not "the ocean", check out Three Rivers State Park west of Tallahassee. Camped there on my way across the Country. Really nice place.
