Some mention
"Visitors praise the park's ancient hammock, well‑maintained trails and boardwalks, excellent wildlife and birding opportunities, tram tours and historic CCC museum.

Best Time to Camp at Highlands Hammock State Park Loop Elec
Winter transforms the park into a serene retreat, with crisp, clear nights perfect for stargazing beneath the hammock canopy and comfortable days for exploring miles of trails. As spring arrives, migratory birds fill the trees with song, making it prime time for birding enthusiasts. Due to current drought conditions, a burn ban is in effect as of December 17, 2025, meaning campfires are not permitted—but the natural beauty more than makes up for it.
No season-specific notes; Florida summers can be hot and buggy, tempering appeal.
Fall likely comfortable for trail use and wildlife viewing; no closure indicated.
Spring likely excellent for flora and wildlife along hammock trails and groves.
Mild Florida winters make trails accessible; limited info on seasonal wildlife changes.
