Jim,

I'l do what I can for you.

I have personal knowledge of the Salt Springs park. It is worth it. Don't
pass it up. I do RV shows in the private camping resort across the street
from the public park, and have been there. Also, if your into scuba or
snorkaling, it is great there.

A couple of more parks I would recommed would be Jetty Park, at Port
Cannaveral, close to Kennedy Space Center, and Cocoa Beach on the East
coast, and Ft Desoto Park near St Petersberg, on the West Coast. Ft
Desoto is a great place. We end up our annual Buses Over The Bridge there
every year. It's alot of fun to explore the old fort, and the facilities
there are truely great.

Let me know if there is anything I can help you with, while your in the
area.

I live in Orlando.
