The Oldest Campground In Florida Has Made Summertime More Magical Since 1931
It’s only right that when summertime rolls around, the idea of spending the weekend outside in nature is abundant. We’re lucky to live in a state that allows for camping all year long, but sometimes sticking to a summer campout schedule is most rewarding. Just imagine the lightning bugs illuminating the sky, the sound of nature lulling you to sleep, and the soft smell of a campfire in the distance.
Right inside the 9,000-acre park known as Highlands Hammock, you’ll find a wonderful campsite that is one of the oldest in Florida.
What was established in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corp, still brings visitors from all over to enjoy some of the untouched aspects of Florida nature.
