The worst is seeing a dog or other animal left in a hot car. Its a huge issue here in the Sunshine State.
I call the cops and haven't had to break any windows. Yet.
Bout the only reason I ever call the fuzz.

I have a reservation at Sandy Oaks RV park in Beverly Hills, near Crystal River, for May, long term. Anybody have other suggestions? I'm from Orlando but never been over to that area much. Thanks.

It's beautiful over there. A 20 minute drive from there will take you to Rainbow Springs State Park... we love it there.

Thanks, but I meant as far as a place to park the Bus. I used to go to Kelly Park/Rock springs all the time as a kid.

We will have to meet up and shoot the breeze as I will be living about 15 minutes to the west of there.

Did you confirm they do not discriminate against skoolies?

I guess what I meant was, do you all know of any other campgrounds and or fish-camps that are skoolie friendly, for long term?

Just got back from a month long trip to FL, I need to part time live there (I know, real original thought for a MI resident)

Anyone know a good place to set-up in my skoolie. I was in the Lauderdale area.

the time table has been turned up a tad, going to arrive in mid April now and stay at a friends property in Apopka, then at the first of May, on to Crystal River and my reservation. Anxious to get back home.
