**As a Florida resident you can book now. You have to register first with your drivers license info.**
I booked cabin #5 at Myakka River State Park ( can have campfires and pizza party/ dinner there Monday. evening )(full kitchen/oven) and if others want to be close to cabins Old Prairie C-G is right there and the RVers can use Palmetto Ridge c-g. Canopy walk should be open now. Can do day trip to Oscar Scherer SP 20 miles away.....
