With summer right around the corner, there will soon be plenty of opportunities to take a weekend away with the whole family. We have an adventure that is entirely family-friendly, that allows Floridians to enjoy open-air accommodations, s’mores around the campfire, and millions of stars dotting the night sky. It’s time to create new memories with this one-of-a-kind camping trip.
