You're getting into fishy country in this area, and mosquitoes and horseflies. There are too many completely adequate campgrounds to be definitive, but these are clearly excellent. Three small lakes are stocked and the canals along U.S. 41 often produce nice catches. This is a great park for nature lovers and anglers. Take your bug repellent.
Summer belongs to our flying pests.
A man creeping along the shore with a cast net in the early morning mist trolling for bait has kept me awake, too. He was no pro with the net but managed to hit a couple of dozen 2-inch mullet in the head with the lead line, as my late friend, Wyatt Blassingame, would have said. I was pouring a cup of coffee when the bow of a huge cruise ship crept toward the lock from the Gulf of Mexico. After the four-deck ship was secured, the lock master asked the captain the ship's home port via his loud hailer. The Caribbean Prince, a ship of the American Canadian Caribbean Line, was in excess of 200 feet long and 40 feet wide, the lock master told me later in the day.
