I just found your UA-cam channel and love it...Great information. Thx!
Awesome feedback. Thanks for riding along with us. Lou
Planning on staying here on our way back from camping in the keys as a layover so can take the kiddos to see the infamous Edison and Ford Winter Estate. Always enjoyed going there as a kid. It's only 43 mins away from this site. We planned it for next year September 2023. The park should reopen by then from the Hurricane.
Recommend calling their administration office to check on the current status if you cannot obtain a free reservation online.
According to campendium, camping is no longer offered at Deep Creek Preserve. The SFWMD site no longer even mentions camping.
This occurred after this video was published. The area was damaged by heavy use and I was told this area needs time to recover. Group camping is still allowed by contacting the agency by telephone. Lou

Another great video Lou. We were in Florida for this past winter but this campground was closed for repairs the entire time so it was nice to see what it looks like and will have it on your list for next time we are there.
Looks like you guys are enjoying your current travels out West. Glad to see you are riding along with us on our journey exploring free and affordable RV camping. Be sure to hit the notification bell. Sometime we send extra information out via the Community Tab to those that have activated UA-cam notifications for our channel.

Thanks for watching! Lou
website says closed until further notice. great video and good info anyway. thanks
Yep-they closed it to online reservations during the temporary closure. They cite environmental impact as the reason for the current closure. I’m curious as to what specific impacts led to the temporary closure. Thanks for watching! Lou
@@LivingOurDreamNow This camp ground was closed because of all the damage done by campers who came in illegally. We went there about 3 years ago before every Tom, Dick, and Harry posted about how wonderful it is. We were the only campers there. So many people came in illegally with the gate code being passed out by other campers. Because there is no camp host here it was abused. In 2019/2020 we came across one couple who stayed there all winter by simply using different email addresses. There were about 15 campers in there where there are only supposed to be 9. Now all the rules with SWFWMD changed to limit camping in all their sites.
@@deewhite0612 they told me they are not making reservations to people now they are only making reservations to organization that are groups.
How many days are allowed under the permit? TIA. Just discovered your channel.
6 nights/7 days is the maximum stay limit. Thanks for watching. Lou
Has anyone been there since the hurricane?
I was wondering the same thing. Peace River got pounded this summer.
