I have a few questions, and didn't want to hijack the other threads, so I started this one.

I'm a relatively unexperienced pirate. I've only been out in the salt once (for the record, I did not get skunked!). I'm going to be at the fish in, but I don't know that I can afford the hotel stay. Are there any state parks or camping areas for some good ole fashioned tent camping nearby? I have some friends in Clearwater that I could stay with, but that looks a little far from Charlotte harbor.

Any Ideas?
