We're pretty lucky to live in a state which has wonderful camping opportunities all year long. But if you're like many of us, summertime is the perfect time to camp. Sure, it can be pretty hot during the summer to set up shop in a tent, but once you see this campsite, you won't care what temperature it is. Take a look...

Just ten miles south of Melbourne Beach, Florida, you’ll find one of the most beautiful state parks around.

The primitive spots, however, allow for a more secluded experience, especially when the ocean is mere steps away.

The turquoise water is just a stone’s throw away, which means that you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves lapping the shore.

With Horseback Riding & Safari Tent Camping, This Remote Park In Florida Is The Best Summer Day Trip

Published Aug 14, 2024

State parks in Florida are so underrated. They are some of the best places to spend a summer afternoon, especially with friends or family, and immerse yourself in nature. Personally, I love looking up hidden gem state parks in Florida when I have a day off to go and explore, hike, bike, and sometimes even bring my dog. I came across Lake Louisa State Park in Clermont, Florida, recently, and this place not only has run-of-the-mill amenities but also a few pleasant surprises.

Just 30 minutes outside of Orlando, Florida you'll find Lake Louisa State Park, a natural theme park that is perfect for a family, friendly summer day.

These lakes are renowned for outdoor activities from paddle boarding and kayaking to canoeing and fishing. You could easily spend an entire weekend enjoying all of nature's opportunities.

There are also designated swimming areas in Lake Louise as well or visitors can cool off from the high summer Florida temperatures swimming is allowed from Memorial day through Labor Day.

The park has over 20 miles of hiking trails that range from easy to moderate difficulty. These trails offer a chance to explore diverse ecosystems and spot local wildlife. Biking is also permitted on some of these trails.

But perhaps one of the coolest amenities you'll find at Lake Louisa State Park is horseback riding. The park offers equestrian trails for those who enjoy horseback riding. Horse rentals and guided trail rides are available from local providers.
