As we headed north in Florida we had a long stay at what might be the best county park anywhere, Fort Desoto Park Campground. It is quite simply... a jewel. With fishing, biking, more than one beach and lots of history both on the island and accessible from ferry services. With 3 campground loops there are lots of waterfront sites but you need to book early or be fast at finding cancellations because this is also one of the most difficult campgrounds to book anywhere too.

We drove here from Myakka River and while traveling Owen just about had an accident due to our faulty blindspot detection on our Ekko. We didn't but it was a close call for sure. Then it was on to the park near St Petersburg where we take you with us doing our first few days there. Lots of wildlife, kayaking and we even cook up a cast iron skillet dinner.
