Wildlife Notice
- Please be aware that your glamping experience is in an outdoor environment with abundant wildlife around you.
- This means you may encounter animals such as but not limited to deer, owls, raccoons, squirrels, alligators, etc.
- While the campground environment is very safe, we ask that our guests do not under any circumstance feed the wildlife or leave any food, trash, crumbs, leftovers, etc., lying around outside and on picnic tables.
- Not only is feeding wildlife in violation of State Park rules, but this will attract rodents, especially squirrels and raccoons.
- Keep food and trash properly secured and be sure to properly secure your tent at all times.
- Also, please be mindful that March/early April is caterpillar season in Florida.
- This means caterpillars are falling from trees and are very abundant all around the glamping sites, and you will encounter a ton of them.
Fire Policy
- Please note absolutely no candles or open flames are allowed inside the tent due to a fire hazard.
