It's summer time in Florida which usually means camping season is over. Not this year, having this trailer instead of the roof top tent has been a game changer. Soon (in a week or two) i'll be adding air conditioning. Right now I've just been leaving the windows open and using the fantastic fan at night.
Anyway, watch the video and see what the gang has been up to! Any questions about this trip or gear, just ask away. Thanks for watching.

Long time Punta Gorda, Florida resident here who just discovered this channel while on an extended stay in South Carolina. First, to get it out of the way, always where your PFD's when kayaking, always - things happen. I've been criss crossing FL the last couple of years in my Subaru Outback with my kayak on top and a converted cargo trailer as a camper behind and Ft. DeSoto is a favorite of mine. Love the campsites on the water there.

Sweet video, lazy summer haze totally worth it. So many wildfires in CO, one of my favorite Nat. Forests closed due to fire danger and my go-to overlanding spot just survived a forest fire, so we haven't been as active as we would like.

Great to see these small trailers as base camps for so many different activities. Having just located your channel, wonder if you have shared any video inside your camper as well as comments on your impression of the Runaway so far. Personally, the 4' height is too limiting for my girlfriend and I, but with the emergence of the new stand up model, I do hope to check them out again in the future. Met Steven and his wife this past March at the Runaway HQ and are totally impressed with their production and affordable campers! Definitely​ want to check out Ft. Desoto in the future! Thanks for sharing!

I'm sorry to be writing to an older post but I found it the most relevant to my question. I am planning to go camping with my 6yo. son and 11yo daughter in January. It will be their first time camping. What beach camping do you recommend in January in Florida. The more south the better. I will be camping in a 1998 K1500 (4x4) with a topper in the back.
@OverlandFlorida
@OverlandFlorida 5 жыл бұрын
There's not very many beach camping available in Florida. Ft. Desoto campground would be the most fun with kids. In January the bugs shouldn't be bad. There's an old fort to explore, beaches to walk along and plenty of good fishing. Ft Desoto has some of the best beaches in all of west side of Florida.

What's up Kevin .. seems like y'all got another good spot at Fort Desoto? I looked up the campground last night their website says up to a seven month reservation... it's so hard to plan that far in advance... I booked a site at chassahowitzka, in one of your videos you were talking about how dumpy the sites were, so I specifically asked for the nicest site and supposedly the lady hook me up lol, so I'll be headed out there the 30th of this month to kayak to the springs and ride the trails... thanks again for the videos Man I really enjoying, btw which rig did you sell your TJ or JK? I seen your TJ at the Go Topless event at Saddle Creek and I thought you just posted a video recently with your new Rubicon I was just curious

@OverlandFlorida 6 жыл бұрын
Hey thanks for watching. I had 2 jeeps at the same time. The TJ and JKU. I sold the JKU and got a new Tacoma. But I still have my TJ. Yes, the sites at the Chass are dumpy. But paddling up to the crack is nice. Fort Desoto always has a few sites that they don't do reservations on. Those are first come first serve. But it opens up at 8 in the morning and you can call as soon as you can and see if any of those sites are available.
