  • Here's a nice local campground for boating, fishing, kayaking or anyone who just loves to be by the water. There's about 50 campsites right on the water with hook ups. The campsite was $21 for the night. There's not much shade here, so having an awning really helped. The bugs at night are really bad, even the raccoons weren't scared to come right up to us to take some handouts. We will be returning later this year when it cools off and the bugs aren't so bad.

    My 1-ton ram we'll get 23 miles to the gallon with your entire rig on my trailer 😜 at 70 miles an hour.
    But 20,000 pounds on the trailer and it drops to 14 to 16.
    That Park is a great place to fish been many years since I was there. 👍👍👍

    Aye.... E.G. is 15 minutes from me. When in Wimauma again - definitely hit up Taqueria El Sol. They make the best tacos I've ever eaten. Indeed Cockroach Bay makes for some nice fishing! Also, Apollo Beach preserve is (well.. was) a nice little hidden gem for beach going and shore fishing.

    Digging the new set up! Just got back from Ginnie myself, such an awesome place. If you’re paddling make sure to hit up Lilly springs up river a few miles.

      Awesome, thanks. I'll have to remember that. I kayaks Ginnie Springs a few weeks ago. I'm sure I'll be back soon. Once I i stall AC lol

    Nice truck Kevin, that Raccoon was a stinker, I would have named him Rocket and taught him how to build random shit, LOL. I like the way you pulled up your kayak simple and easy, sweet mileage bud, my 2007 Ford Expedition EL 4x4 just pulled 20.2mpg today on the way back from the ranch, I think it would have been higher if I was half sasquatch. Looks like Florida and southern Colorado is having the same weather too, thunderstorms and hail are the norm this year.

    • @OverlandFlorida
      @OverlandFlorida  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Haha, I'll call him rocket next time. 20mpg is outstanding for an expedition. We've had some bad storms the last couple days. We even lost power a few times.

    23mpg!!!! That's awesome. My '13 doesn't get that kind of mileage... I need to start saving now I guess. Bring the hammock to RockaDock ;)

    • @OverlandFlorida
      @OverlandFlorida  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Keep the 13! My truck has a corolla engine and is a bit under powered. That's why it has a 6spd transmission. But the alternative is great MPG commuting.

    Love your channel! I’m a Florida camper as well, living in the Tampa area. Thanks a bunch for your thorough reviews of the campgrounds and all your gear. I looked at the runaways but have decided on a casita that I’ll be getting this fall / winter. You guys have inspired me to go ahead and get a kayak in the meantime. In the last month I’ve done Ginnie and blue spring sp, and am headed to desoto this weekend. This place looks worth checking out too. Of all of the campgrounds in Florida what’s your favorite?

    • @OverlandFlorida
      @OverlandFlorida  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for watching! A casita is really nice!! Hillsborough River State park is pretty nice. There's many activities to do there and it's rather large compared to some parks. Highland Hammock state park has some nice walking trails and board walks. But there's no river to paddle on.

      You should be able to get a site. The park is called "E.G Simmons" When the sun goes down the bugs are horrible.
