Many people are looking for a way to relax and get closer to nature. Camping is one way to achieve this. These top 5 things to ask at North Florida Campgrounds will help you plan a successful trip.

The type of camping you plan on doing is going to help determine where you stay. For the back to nature experience, National Parks and Indian Reservations have sites available. Often there are basic cabins available for rent or traditional tent sites.

Find out before pitching your tent if there is a maximum number of people allowed and if pets are permitted. Ask if there is a picnic table, running water, and fire ring at your site. Will you be give an easily accessible, level, and cleared spot or will you be off a footpath. Find out if there are showers and bathrooms or if you will be using a porta potty or digging a trench.

Another option when choosing a campground is one close to a theme park or points of interest such as fishing, boating, water skiing, or great hiking trails. Many of these facilities will have activities planned for visitors such as tours and games. A person can also expect to find bicycles and boats for rent, a swimming pool to cool off during the day and a hot tub to warm up in at night.

Also being offered at most sites and growing in popularity are tepees, yurts, tree houses, and even a train caboose for your stay. If you prefer, there will also be simple one or two room cabins with no kitchen or bath.
