 Wed Aug 27, 08 7:36 pm Couple of Floras questions... |
 |
|
How windy is the campground? Looks like this weekend is going to go off... do I need my 4 season tent?!?
How quick does the campground fill up on a windy holiday? Still available by noon on Friday?
Looking forward to my first trip down south, so to speak. |

some of the sites (the best ones) are pretty exposed to wind, but a regular tent is fine if you stake it. I saw one roll away while I was there 
i bet it will be full, sorry for that bad news, good luck |

it can be pretty windy in the campground, some tent sites have a little better protection than others. As far as spaces go you can probably find a spot even with this being a holiday weekend but there are no guarantees

It's a pretty small camp ground and it's a holiday weekend so it will fill up really fast get there early if you wait till Friday night you might be out of luck finding a spot.
We have always used a tent down there and never had any problems with it. Bring warms clothes it can get pretty chilly and quarters for the showers... have a fun trip Floras is a great place  |

Yes, there is a KOA about three miles from FL down south on 101. I pass it on my way from Port Orford every day. Let me know if you need more details on this spot and I will check it out on my next way out to Floras. Also, there is a Cape Blanco State Park about 10 miles down south of FL. I looked at that one and it really rules, all lots are very private, and it is a very nice location.

There are camp sites with little wind.
Not sure, we'll all be fine cause they don't charge extra for tents, so long as you're not a freaky loud sleeper we can all pile in to one area. Bring warm cloths cause this is the coast.
