County Park - Sebastian, Florida

Camped last night in Long Point County Park of Sebastian, Florida.

I'd tried to get into the well regarded Sebastian Inlet state park two miles south but all the sites were taken and I was directed here.

Long Point is the first county park I've ever stayed in and its style was different than the state and national parks where I've camped. Long Point seems like the place where locals go for a long weekend of boating, fishing, kids running around, eating hot dogs drinking beer at night by a fire. It's not the place you'd drive to from the other side of the state, but I really enjoyed it.

The campgrounds are part of a central, open green space with little tree cover or greenery that separates one site from another. With not many people around on a Sunday night I felt like I had a big breezy space all to myself. I setup a campsite near the water so I could hear the waves lapping in the background.

That night and the next morning, some very friendly birds decided to visit me. These guys are surely conditioned by campers to look for scraps and expect handouts. It's not good for nature to be trained this way, but, well its really enjoyable if you're into meeting new creatures.
