    Looking for advice on Florida keys hang/camp trip for mid Oct!!! SOUTHERN FLORIDA

    So I have only snorkeled and dove out in the keys never have I camped out there...

    I wil be going camping for 3-4 days with a lady friend that is def able to ruff it... or camp lavishly haha.
    mid Oct but the weather is still pretty good here in Miami/Keys all the way through.

    I'm no terribly big on PAID PERMIT packing camping or hanging... so If anybody has info on some "ducked out" or "hidden locations" as well as good permit state park spots.

    We would prefer to be able to camp freely lounge about enjoy a good fire food and libations get some sun... lay about naked if wanted (something about tan lines needed to be taken care of) . You know adult stuff. Just enjoy the last trip in the US before the year ends and the surf board and hammock go on a vaca.

    we plan on chartering a boat for some reef snorkeling and what not but a camp spot next to awesome waters would be great!

    anyways Thanks in advance and helping a new New England Transplant to Southern Florida out!

    Bahia Honda State Park has the Sandspur campground. It's 36 a night year round, sites 64 through 72 are Oceanside and the others are in a wooded loop. The wooded side can be bad during skeeter season just do a google search and call about the hammock in Sandspur campground. They also have Bayside campground and sites 45, 54, and 73 you can hammock camp. hope this helps.

    I think Florida requires 2 inch wide straps for both hammock and tarp. And some vendors here sell 2 inch wide straps. And call ahead to your camp grounds for specific information on hammocks at their location. Good luck SAAvage and SAAvage Lady Friend.
