This is a county park, popular with snowbirds because of the very reasonable monthly rates. The drawbacks are no sewer hookups and the location – pretty much in the middle-of-nowhere central Florida. The city of Wauchula, just a few miles north, has all the major services.
Camping choices are varied – electric sites in a large field with RVs in rows, electric sites located haphazardly under the trees or where we camped, in the no hookup sites facing a little pond. We have a nice view of the pond which attracts many different birds.
None of the sites are accessible. The tables are concrete, set above ground level on concrete pads with no overhang on the ends. The ground is uneven which makes pushing around somewhat difficult. The restrooms are few and inconveniently located. Campground

How are the mosquitoes around that pond?
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly none! I'm not sure why because it's been so warm and the pond is still water. Probably won't want to be here in a couple of months!
ReplyDeletePerhaps the park proactively oils the lake (Its a very light oil, similar to vegetable oil that won't bother the other creatures, but will interfere with the spawning of mosquitos) to keep the population down?
ReplyDeleteHmm..that's interesting. I'll have to check that out. I haven't noticed a sheen on the pond but I'm not getting too close. There are a couple of alligators that live in the pond. They stay on the other side most of the time.
