![tickfaw02](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw02.JPG) Thanks to Spring Break, March is always a tough month for us folks who don't like to make plans, so we broke down and made a reservation about a week before our expected arrival. We could only get 4 nights - the upcoming weekend was booked solid. We've taken to using the park map and Google Earth to try get sites that more or less face south - Puddy-Tat really likes to lounge in the sun on the dashboard,
|
![tickfaw09](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw09.JPG) So let's take a little walk around the campground so you can see what it looks like. There are two loops here - one for RV's, the other for tenters. Obviously this is the RV loop, sites 2 and 4.
|
![tickfaw08](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw08.JPG) Sites 3, 5, 7 and 9.
|
![tickfaw07](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw07.JPG) Site 6.
|
![tickfaw06](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw06.JPG) Sites 9 and 11. Paved roads make for pleasant bike riding.
|
![tickfaw05](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw05.JPG) Site 15 on the left, 10 and 12 on the right.
|
![tickfaw04](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw04.JPG) Sites 14, 18, 20 and 22.
|
![tickfaw03](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw03.JPG) Sites 17, 19 and 21.
|
![tickfaw29](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw29.JPG) Sites 22, 24 and 26.
|
![tickfaw28](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw28.JPG) Site 27.
Recent rains have left the bogs surrounding the campground quite full of water. Here the barbeque grill is out in the water.
|
![tickfaw27](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw27.JPG) Site 28 is one of two ADA-accessible sites near the bathhouse...and the dump station!
|
![tickfaw14](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw14.JPG) Moving over to the tent camping loop, we first see two ADA-compliant sites - this is 31. It and site 33 next door have a paved area from the parking spot to the picnic table, raised firepit and to the tent pad. A cement walkway connects them to the bathhouse.
|
![tickfaw15](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw15.JPG) Site 35.
|
![tickfaw17](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw17.JPG) Site 40 still had some mud surrounding the various raised areas.
|
![tickfaw18](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw18.JPG) And then there was site 43, quite surrounded by water.
|
![tickfaw19](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw19.JPG) Site 44. The park uses bear-proof trash containers.
|
![tickfaw20](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw20.JPG) Site 49 was also close to the high water.
When we first arrived the tent area was closed because of the high water, but in just a few days, the water had gone down significantly and things were drying out, allowing the park to open that loop of sites.
|
![tickfaw21](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw21.JPG) Situated between the two camp loops is the bathhouse. Clean and warm, it offers free hot showers. There is also a laundry room with three washers and three dryers - a dollar a load.
|
![tickfaw22](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw22.JPG) A short distance from the campground is a row of 14 cabins that can be rented.
|
![tickfaw35](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw35.JPG) There is also a large group facility available for rent.
|
![tickfaw24](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw24.JPG) There's a nice playground for the kids at the day-use area...which is about .8 mile from the campground.
|
![tickfaw23](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw23.JPG) During the hot days of summer, the young-uns can enjoy a splash-pad, also in the day-use area.
|
![tickfaw32](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw32.JPG) Very near the RV campground loop is a fishing pond.
|
![tickfaw33](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw33.JPG) It has a walking trail all the way around. Just be aware of the alligators - we almost stepped on one.
|
![tickfaw36](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw36.JPG) Down at the end of the park road several trails head out through the woods and swamps. One boardwalk meanders for almost half a mile out to an overlook at the Tickfaw River.
|
![tickfaw38](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw38.JPG) Near its end the path crosses over the river on a suspension bridge.
|
![tickfaw25](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw25.JPG) This is the Grandma Tree, a mighty cypress that has stood since the War of 1812. Its base is enormous.
|
![tickfaw12](/images/campgrounds/t2/tickfaw12.JPG) There are several miles of trails in the park.
