Hello,

My family loves to camp and would love to join your group. We have a Fleetwood Cheyenne that has been on long trips to New Mexico, Wisconsin and the Georgia mountains but we have not done a lot of Florida camping. I used to belong to a group as a child and enjoyed our monthly camp-outs. I would love my children to experience this as well. We have three children at home, a shy 19 year old who will probably be camping with us, our artist/scientist daughter who is 11 and a 9...

Cades Cove - Great Smoky Mountains Nat'l Park

feeds@yuku.com (floridaisland) — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 12:22:47 GMT

I am not sure if any of you have been to Cades Cove or plan to, but just a FYI, the Cades Cove loop road will be closed next year for 3 months. Approx March, April and May 2010 for complete renovation. This is a big attraction for the area and is the main reason many come to the park.

FPUC - now on Facebook!

feeds@yuku.com (TampaJim60) — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 17:02:09 GMT

Guys...with the permission of Donna / Steve and "the board", I have created a Florida Pop Up Campers group on Facebook. This Facebook group is in no way replacing this web site. It's primary goal is to be a advertisement point for FPUC. For those of you with a Facebook account, you know about the groups that are advertised to you depending on your interest. This group is to be just that, an advertisement pointing people to this web site for more information. One purpose to gain...

Kudo's to the Rangers

feeds@yuku.com (TampaJim60) — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 12:21:57 GMT

Guys....just a FYI of an incident we had on the group outing to Paynes Prairie State Park. We had a single guy, mid 20's, camping by himself in the tent section that seemed to be following our girls around the campgrounds on multiple times. He would hang out at the playground and came by our site multiple times asking questions like what time it was or what's the weather forecast. Lisa and I had already decided to keep the girls close by the site and nothing overtly happened. I though...

Looking for a place for the long week-end prior to Thanksgiving. I like the idea of a full hook up for a 5 day outing, thus picking this park. Is there anything to do close to this park? Thanks for any help. Tomm #80231

Any North Florida Campers?

feeds@yuku.com (lwbfl) — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 09:34:02 GMT

It seems most of the people who have posted on here lately are from the Tampa area. We go to Deland about once a year, but I'm in the panhandle and am looking for other campers in this area.

WARNING!!

feeds@yuku.com (The Justice Family) — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 13:22:59 GMT

This past weekend we arrived to pick up our 2004 Puma from storage, only to find an empty space because it had been stolen from the U-haul in Apopka. We have parked both our old Terry there and this new one for over 4 years without trouble, but somehow, someone drove off with the entire fully-loaded unit. So, just be careful folks, use your hitch locks, tire boots, and anything else you can think of to secure your unit and check on your trailer often (we hadnt been by in a few weeks)....
