The park rangers have your reservation on file.  If someone is in the rangers station at the entrance to the park, simply tell them you have a Comfy Camping reservation, and they will give you a parking pass and direct you to the campground.  If there is no ranger at the station, you may go ahead to your reserved site by following signs to the campground.  Check your reservation to see if you are on Site A, B, or C.  The sites are marked.  Then go to the bulletin board by the bath house and sign in and get your parking pass to display on your windshield. Check in begins at 3 P.M. (If you plan to leave the park after dark you will need a code to re-enter. It is on the back of your parking pass, or you can call us in advance if you will be arriving after dark.)

Check out is no later than 11 A.M. due to a strict cleaning schedule required to turn the glamping sites over for the next guest.  Please be aware that the State Park staff do not have the ability to change that time.  There are posted instructions inside the tent.  Empty garbage (dumpster nearby,) wash dishes at bathhouse, empty cooler, put wet towels in cooler, then close all windows and doors including zippers please, and leave one fan on low.  If you rented a portable toilet, the Comfy Camping cleaning staff will take care of dumping and cleaning it; do not dump it yourself.  You do NOT need to strip the bed.  sweep, or empty the firepit or charcoal grill.  We will take care of those items during our normal cleaning process.  If there is excess mess such as sticky stuff in the carpets, dog feces, greasy dishes, etc. then a surcharge will be added to your card for the extra cleaning.

Comfy Camping is open from 9 A.M. - 7 P.M. for normal business at 813-713-3818.  You may still call after normal business hours if you have a Comfy Camping related emergency.  If you have an emergency that requires medical attention, please dial 911 or go to the nearest emergency room which is Brandon Hospital.  If you have an issue with other campers in the park that are not Comfy Camping Guests, please go to the rangers station or call 813-672-5320.

Firewood and ice are usually available for purchase at the rangers station during business hours.  The nearby Ace Hardware also sells firewood and 8oz Butane canisters for cooktops (NOT the lighter refills) as well as other camping supplies.  The nearby Circle K also sells ice.  The nearby Dollar General sells ice, snacks, bug spray, sunscreen, charcoal, lighter fluid, and more...  Sometimes other campers will leave butane cans , wood, or fire starters for other guests to use.  You can also purchase wood and fire starters ahead of time as an add-on during the reservation process.

The tent is treated with a waterproof spray and there is also an additional rain fly, so generally speaking, the tent stays dry inside.  If you leave the windows or doors open, rain may come inside. Simply close the windows and use a towel to dry the floor. There are games included for entertainment, or we suggest going out to some of our favorite dining and venues nearby:  Fishhawk Pizza, Smokey Joes Barbeque, Rick's Custom Meats, and the White Oak Cottage (restaurant and fabulous home decor store.)
