Yossarian 0 #1 December 26, 2006 I'm looking to spend a month or more on a dz in florida around november time, money is the issue (as in i want to spend money on jumping and as little else as possible) and was wondering which dropzones have the best bunkhouses. by best i mean have showers, washing machine facilities and perhaps storage space for a months worth of clothes and gear. im not sure how much this is asking, but i was thinking the larger dropzones such as lake wales and deland might have some relatively modern facilities. does anyone have any experiences of bunkhouses in florida? california is also possible an option Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 35 #2 December 26, 2006 There are skydivers in DeLand who own bunkhouses, but you will need transportation to get to the dz because they are not on the dz property. There is one very small shed there that is called a bunkhouse, but it doesn't look very appealing to me to stay in. There are people in Z-hills who own trailers at the dz that they rent out. Both places have showers and washing facilities. I don't know about Lake Wales or Sebastian. At any of the dz's, there is plenty of camping space and November has mild weather if you want to go that route.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bolas 5 #3 December 27, 2006 I stayed in the Deland bunkhouse a few years back. $1 a night to stay in a shed. Comfortable mattresses. You don't have to worry about sleeping in. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saucy_dee 0 #4 December 28, 2006 In Sebastian you can camp for free and they also have team rooms. Contact the DZ to find out more on the team rooms. There is talk of turning them into bunk rooms so by November you shouldn't have a problem. They don't have washing machines but do have showers but a few have mentioned getting some coin operated ones. And of course the DZ is very friendly and there are some great boogies coming up! Don't put off 'till tomorrow what you can do today Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kkeenan 13 #9 December 29, 2006 There's a pretty good bunkhouse at Skydive Space Center, in Titusville FL. Also the fastest King Air in the state._____________________________________ Dude, you are so awesome... Can I be on your ash jump ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yossarian 0 #10 December 29, 2006 thanks for the replies guys, im thinking Z-hills and renting a caravan at the moment, bunkhouses are fine but might get old after a month or two, and i definately cant afford a hotel type place, especially after ordering a rig Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
