Description

You already know you want to do this. What you need is someone who has actually done it to tell you the truth about what to expect.

The Solo Woman’s Florida Camping Survival Guide was written by Jolene MacFadden, founder of the Solo Sojourn Project and a former full-time RVer with six years of volunteer workamping experience at Florida State Parks. This is not a generic camping checklist. This is hard-won, Florida-specific knowledge written for women over 50 who are ready to explore public lands on their own terms.

Inside this guide you will find:

Chapter 1 covers emergency preparedness and survival skills, including fire starting, navigation without technology, essential rope knots, and a Florida-specific storm safety guide covering exactly which trees to avoid during thunderstorms and why.

Chapter 2 covers enhanced safety for solo women in Florida, including current crime data for 2024 to 2025, specific areas to approach with caution, human threat protocols, Florida wildlife safety (alligators, black bears, venomous snakes, fire ants), and environmental hazard awareness for heat, flash floods, and rip currents.

Chapter 3 covers accessibility in Florida State Parks, including mobility-friendly features available statewide, the top accessibility champion parks, and how to arrange adaptive equipment and services in advance.

Chapter 4 introduces the Solo Sojourn community and the Solo Sojourn Trail app, currently in development, which will rank Florida public campgrounds by safety, accessibility, and solo-woman friendliness.

Chapter 5 covers workamping opportunities for solo women in Florida, including the best program types, success tips for solo women, and a curated resource list.
