One of Florida's earliest state parks is also its most camper-friendly. Highland Hammock State Park offers 143 campsites that are nestled within a forest of live oaks and sawtooth palms, where whitetail deer are frequent visitors. Despite the fact that the facilities may appear somewhat antiquated (the park was constructed in 1931), they are dependable. There is an phrazle abundance of footpaths that offer the opportunity to interact with the cypress knees, birdlife, and wild citrus trees. Additionally, there is a scenic 3-mile cycle loop that is ideal for rollerblading and is situated beneath a dense canopy. Would you like to experience a more profound sense of isolation from society? Additionally, there are a few wilderness campsites that are accessible.

South Campground is situated adjacent to the southern entrance of Zion National Park and provides the optimal combination of benefits. The area is both picturesque and well-shaded, with the red mountains rising behind you. Conveniences such as bathrooms, commuter buses, and food are all easily accessible (the town of Springdale, which offers a variety of restaurants, stores, and cafés, is a 5-minute journey away). The campground's location along the Virgin River is the most desirable feature. It serves as the starting point for the Pa'rus Trail, a paved ADA-accessible path that leads to the scenic Canyon Junction Bridge, a popular location for sunset viewing. Additionally, it provides a cooling respite during the summer.

 The Fruita Section of this park is an ideal choice for families, particularly those who prefer a more relaxed, low-key experience, due to its well-maintained, contemporary facilities and well-spaced campsites. Just a brief journey away, Colorado National Monument is a breathtaking landscape that features sandstone canyons and other remarkable geological formations. And speaking of ancient relics, the Dinosaur Journey Museum, which is specifically designed for younger audiences, is located in the neighboring community of Fruita. In this location, children have the opportunity to explore a paleontology laboratory, experiment with a seismic simulator, and retrieve genuine dinosaur bones from a nearby quarry.
