Discovering the Gems: Florida's Panhandle State Parks
As we have traveled the country for the past four years, one constant has remained: our love for the state park system. Despite the varying registration processes, state parks consistently offer a return to nature, budget-friendly camping, and stunning views of sunrises and sunsets. They provide a perfect balance for full-time travelers like us, especially east of the Mississippi where free camping is limited.
Ready to get that camper out of storage and head south to Florida? Here are three of our favorite state parks in the Panhandle region, known for its southern hospitality and amazing Gulf views.
