Home › Forums › General Forums › Hammock Camping › Attn: Florida Hangers
I'm way behind in posting this but there's still time. You're probably aware that Florida state parks don't allow hammocks. Well, if you haven't heard, we're halfway through a year-long pilot program to determine if that'll be changing in the future. The pilot runs through April 30, 2013.
For the duration of the pilot program, hammock camping user groups will be advised to contact Mr. Philip Madden in the Division’s Bureau of Operation Services. He may be reached at 850 245-3076 or by email at Philip.J.Madden@dep.state.fl.us. Mr. Madden will serve as liaison between the users and park management of any park receiving hammock camping requests.
After you use your hammock in a state park please be sure to let the state know how it went by filling out their brief survey: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/930961/Hammock-User-Survey-draft
