Manatee Hammock County Park in Titusville, Florida

Manatee Hammock is a great campground to stay at while working on the boat in Westland Marina boatyard. We had great boat work weather for most of our stay. We missed knowing to look for the rocket launch in the early am our first day there. The campground was filled with Christmas decorations and we enjoyed a visit with my sister and brother-in-law to cook our instant pot chicken taco bowl unexpectedly in a downpour rain.

Topsail Hill Preserve State Park, Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

We gifted our T@b teardrop trailer to our nieces once we finally got our 16 foot Caravel Air Stream trailer, Cutie Too, delivered from the factory. We loaded her up for a test run close by to Topsail Hill Preserve State Park on the Gulf of Mexico not far from where Glenn's parents had a cabin years ago. The park has 16 miles of trails, a paved bike path to the beach, several fishing lakes and a tram that runs from the campground to the private beach. We lucked out with Monday night live music on the camp store front porch even though it was a bit chilly. The prescribed burn prevented us from hiking all the trails but it was a gorgeous upscale park, once a private RV resort.
