This is day 2 at Highlands Hammock SP, near Sebring, FL. The campground itself was quite a disappointment, one of the most crowded we've seen in a Florida park, with neighbors within a short distance out every window of the RV. This week there was a gathering of Scamp (small towable trailers) owners, and Scamps are everywhere!
Today's time on the trails gave a somewhat more positive impression of the park, which is one of the oldest in the state, with many of the structures built by the CCC. The area around the campground is scrubby and dry, but the trails go through cypress swamps with stretches of boardwalk. And yes, there are alligators along the trails.
There's rain in the forecast overnight and predictions of temperatures about 20 degrees cooler than we have had all week. We'll be heading to a park between Gainesville and Jacksonville for one night, then heading home.
