Camping in Big Lagoon State Park, near Pensacola, Florida

Camping in Big Lagoon State Park has been mostly a treat! It’s my first camping trip since visiting Fort Clinch State Park over by Jacksonville, Florida. Want to know how that trip went!? Well, I won’t spoil it by telling you it didn’t live up to my expectations– oh wait, I just spoiled it– well, for a recap click here. As for Big Lagoon, it’s important to know that it’s NOT a beachside park. Water is accessible in the park, but you aren’t going to be building any sandcastles. Half the park is closed for rebuilding/renovations but I still had a good time. One big highlight was watching all the different types of planes and jets flying overhead. More details about all that plus pictures, here. As for wildlife, I didn’t see much but still managed to snap some photos of eagles, a heron, pelicans, and other things. Check out the pics below for a few of my favorite memories from the park…
