I did find another place in Astor on the river the parramore camp one vacancy as well. Only have a week to come down about the first week of February. The place in Welaka was booked up. Any advice would be appreciated

Speaking of vegetation, Lake Garcia just west of Vero Beach is pretty much shut down at least for anything other than air boats due to all the vegetation floating around and clogging up the ramps and access to the lake from the ramp area.Originally Posted by sunshine
Its actually very bad, and probably caused by all the large commercial type airboats breaking all that stuff loose.

You have any more info on your trip planning? What area are you targeting? Driving down/rv, boat etc? They're doing good at Rodman also, there's a KOA not far, not sure on availability though

We have a lance truck camper. It come off truck or goes on in minutes. I would never back a boat on ramp with that 2000# thing in my bed. Boat is a 17 Lund v bottom with full wind shield motor is 115 with 9.9 hp kicker motor. Front deck has crappie option two seats side by side. I got in all places I needed to in Okeechobee in the past with this set up. The 9.9 allows me to get around without fear of damaging 115 motor. Also a few times starting battery was dead or near dead in had enough power to start 9.9 motor and charge big motor. I saw two camps directly on these lakes with docks. I don’t mind launching very day but it’s nice to pull up to the campground for lunch breaks. Campground in Welaka had the one of best setups but limited spots and it’s booked up. They had covered slips even Fishing off dock. A bar on the dock and work campers kept place very clean

Could check out Camp Mack on the Kissimmee chain
