We’re not traveling as much in our fifth wheel anymore so I thought it would be fun to relive some of our most memorable days from previous RV trips. This January I am highlighting our January, 2012 snowbird trip to Florida.
Part 4 of our January, 2012 RV trip around Florida
After leaving Everglades National Park we spent a couple of nights in the Big Cypress Swamp before heading north for the rest of our journey back to Georgia. On this day eight years ago, January 23, 2012, we were camped at Alafia River State Park in Lithia, Florida, east of Tampa. A quiet waterfront site on Lake Alafia (pronounced Al-a-FI) was just what we needed.
Would you believe there is mountain biking in the state of Florida? The state park is located on land which was once a phosphate mine. The mining company donated over 6000 acres to the state for the state park and there are several mountain bike trails on the mounds which were created by the mining. We walked along some of the trails and even saw a few mountain bikers.
There is also Equestrian camping in the campground and we saw several horses during our stay.

I hope everyone is well. I see you took some awesome trips to Scotland and Ireland this summer. Are you planning to take more RV or international trips soon?

That was one amazing campsite you had there. 🙂 Camping plus horses? Now, that would be my dream place. 🙂

There are a few equestrian campgrounds out there. It’s pretty fun seeing the horses and meeting their owners.
