I'm taking the wife and my daughter up to Hontoon Island on the St. John's River this weekend. We rented one of that cabins there. I've never been, but heard it is a cool place. I'll report back and let you all know.
So this place is awesome. We stayed in one of the rustic cabins for $30 a night. Really cool place. I brought my mountain bike and road all of the trails. You can even ride up to the top of one of the mounds on the Dead Hontoon River. Saw the most buck sign I've ever seen (since you can't hunt there). The park rangers are good and the bathrooms are clean. My wife says I can just sell the tent. She is only cabin camping. Great place for the kids, too. My three year old daughter had a blast.
Very cool. It's close to us in East Orlando too.... Gonna check it out!
I was thinking the same thing. I could drop the boat in at Lake Monroe and be up there in no time.
Sounds like it was a great time. I might go do the primitive camp tomorrow night. Get a little fishing and canoeing in.
