Its sad to see a dropzone that will turn a skydiver away but Deland will do it. I'm a C-license holder, videographer, and coach who recently took a trip to florida(2400 miles away)I did my research to find the closest DZ and had made arrangements for the onsite camping they offer(note there ads in Parachutist and there website). I gave them names and dates and was even given the cost. But upon arrival I was told they did not have camping available, didn't know who had written my name in their book and could not seem to have anywhere at all that my 10 ft. pop up trailer could possibly fit. I found this discouraging as I was sent away past the tents pitched on the lawn only to look across the dirt road at the onsite campground but I say don't let that fool you, your on your own to find camping elswhere. Now I can't say the skydiving isn't good there but the treatment on the ground left this jumper to spend his money on someone else's jump tickets.
