Beach Camping in Florida

If you like camping and you also like the beach, you're going to love beach camping down in Florida right next to the ocean. I used to love going camping with my family when I was growing up but the only thing that bothered me looking back was that we always camped in the woods. Don't get me wrong, being with nature in a forest has its perks when camping but if I had to choose between camping in a forest or camping on a beautiful beach next to the ocean, the beach is my top pick. Being a native of Florida also had its perks because on the weekends I always loved to take road trips exploring what Florida had to offer outside of where I lived. Here are some of the places I've gone to and enjoyed camping next to the ocean when I had the time.
