Looks like a fantastic place to camp. It seems to be far enough away from land to keep the bugs down. Possible for a June campout?

Hi Dennis, yes in general the two current platforms are the few (nearly) bug-free campsites in the summer season! Just be on the lookout for T-storms when you’re out on Florida Bay this time of year.
