There is a nice camp in the Alafia Area. 2 Large covered pavilions close to Sweetbay Supermarket.Hey guys,
wanted to run this by the group...
I've been communicating with Patty (the campsite director) over email and she isn't very as accommodating as i would have expect from a group like us who has a recurring event at her park and we have always abided by the rules. Not to mention we have fed her staff and park campers in the years past. Basically she said since this is a holiday weekend, they want us to reserve a minimum of 3 nights. Our event has only ever been 2 nights because alot of us have to leave work Fridays and goto work the following monday. She said that the staff members who helped me set up the reservation in the past have messed this up and that's why "they are no longer with the company".
Last year i found the staff slightly less accommodating then the prior year and they raised the prices on us for reservations.
So i'm a little perturbed by this. I mean the set up is great with the Group tent site, Screened Room and RV sites so close in proximity..but i feel like they aren't giving us any credit for being repeat customers.
So i wanted to get your opinions..should we continue with the same location and try to work out a better deal and/or reserve 3 nights for tents and RV's? Should we try to find a different location? Does anyone know of a similar camping area around the north Okeechobee area?
Boykjo,The months are ticking away...... Only 3 to go.... Doug, you can put me down for ribs and chicken in the comp..... When can we start talking smack..............LOL
Hey Mike! Welcome to the forum and welcome to the thread. Only requirement to be invited is to show up and have fun:) It's labeled "south florida" but we have guys coming from other parts as well as some this year coming from out of the state! Should be a great time!Not to mention the sites at Highlands Hammock are small.

Hey Dave...no need to worry ill have plenty of space on my smoker, i'm bringing the big boy and plan to keep it smoking all weekend!! IF anyone of you have a good source for wood...for now i'm trapped down here in Fort Lauderdale where its harder to find wood so if anyone can help me out that'd be great!Keith, I saw your post on Mike's RC thread and you sorta said everyone would bring their own smoker and be cooking for themselves. I'm curious now how this is going to work. Is everyone going to be cooking individual meals for themselves? Or are we going to pitch in and cook together big meals to share like we did at NFL? I'm just trying to figure out what I'm going to need to bring and how I'm going to fit it all in my little car.
I'm game for anything I just need to figure out what I'm going to do.
I'm in on making sausage and have some stuff I can bring and can bring some meat to if needed.
