Tips & Recommendations

  • 1Reserve popular state park campgrounds like Wekiwa Springs, Fort Clinch, and Lake Louisa at least 60-90 days in advance through the Florida State Parks reservation system, as prime fall weekends book quickly.
  • 2For backcountry sites like Pink Jeep Campground, permits may be required—check with Big Cypress National Preserve ahead of time.
  • 3Pack layers for fall camping as morning temperatures can dip into the 50s while afternoons reach the 80s; a light jacket and long pants for evening campfires are essential.
  • 4Bring a quality tent with good ventilation since even fall nights can be humid in South Florida locations.
