Camping at Hillsborough River State Park in Tampa, July 2-4

[CAJUN LADY]

Here's an invite to anyone wanting to join me camping on July 2nd, 3rd and 4th. I will be in site 107 (Loop 1), arriving Thursday about 5:00 pm. This is a nice, shady campground with a huge swimming pool at the front of the park. I think they have a place to eat there too (snacks/burgers). If you've never been there before and decide to join me, I have a list of sites that are nice and big...I'll be happy to list them for you.

Looks like a wonderful park. We are kayakers so that makes it even better. We will start looking into joining you. I am sure it fills up that weekend. I will let you know soon..... John
If you could send camp layout that would be great.... Thanks

Becca,

Sounds like a fun time. Hope to be there.

[CAJUN LADY]

John and Steve, that would be great! I will scan the layout of the park and email it to you on Monday...just checked my vehicle and I left my camping book home.

I would have answered sooner but for some reason, this didn't show up in my inbox. Sometimes I get replies, sometimes I don't.

Hi Becca,

My sister and I will be in site #105.

Steve, hope you and Kim can make it.

Cool! It's a nice park and has a huge swimming pool at the front of the park.

The sites are going fast.

Hope others sign up fast. See you there.....

I'm in 113 Thurs to Sun. I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone and camping in Fl again.
I'm already committed to 3 events and I don't get my baby until next weekend 2/28.... at least the site is listed as "full shade".

[John Boeckstiegel]

Glad to hear your getting that Silver Shadow. Look forward to seeing it and meeting you at Hillsboro.

Hope more join in.... more the marrier.

Great Lisa! Will this be the maiden voyage of your Tear? I hope all of you enjoy the campground. Bring your suit...there is a huge swimming pool at the front of the campground.

I looked at all the map pics of the park. I see severel spots say no swimming. Does this mean there is no swimming in the river anywhere? We are kayakers and enjoy the river more than a pool. Hope some others will be kayaking too. John

I plan to have her well broken in before July 4th.... This will be a long drive for me tho.... I have already committed to 4 events between now and Sept. From here to Fl. So much for needing a hobby. I am still trying to figure out what to call her. I'd love some help with that.
Think fish and undersea stuff.... Any thoughts? I will probably re post this request in the lady teardropper area (no offense gentlemen)....

Our cargo conversion is called Seaturtle Inn. I own a sign shop so it is easy for me to decorate it how we like. It will have palms and sea life all over it. I have 2 sea turtles on the front now. We are thinking ... starfish, seahorses, shells, and the like. Let me know if I can send you or take with me some graphic to the park for you. Just send me a pic and size... hope this helps.... John

John, I don't think they allow swimming in the river. Of course I don't think the gators would mind.

I'll try and get over there this weekend and take some pictures of your campsites and post them.
