Florida resident and avid camper Marilyn Moore knows the best places to pitch a tent in Florida, from popular beachfront sites to hidden island retreats. Moon Florida Camping guides both seasoned campers and first-timers to the best campsites, hiking trails, and fishing spots throughout the state of Florida. This edition includes up-to-date, post-hurricane coverage of camping areas. Moore includes unique lists of "Bests," like Best for Biking, Best for Families, Best for Natural Springs, and Most Unusual. Complete with easy-to-use regional maps, descriptive keynotes for every geographical region, and facility and fee information, Moon Florida Camping provides campers with first-rate expert advice and all the necessary tools to head outdoors.
This book seems to be a very good reference source. I would recommend calling the campgrounds that you wish to visit to confirm some of the details beforehand. Such as the pet policies. I'm not sure how often the information on the campgrounds gets updated. For instance, Fort DeSota Park in Pinellas County Florida has a whole loop that is for Pet RV'rs. The book mentions that pets may be accepted at some times and not others. Apparently that was in days past. I was glad to find out that this information was a little outdated. Otherwise, a good book. I wish had gotten to read the first several pages before my dog did. She ate the front part of the book before I even got to open it!
Very inclusive book

This is an excellant guide if you are a tent camper. Most commercial guides focus on RV campgrounds but this guide gives good coverage to the places those of us using tents would like. It is not as detailed as Johnny Molloy's 'The Best in Tent Camping' but covers many more campgrounds. It is an excellant addition to my camping references.
