A word of caution - don't camp under Spanish Moss in the spring when it pollenates! It's a beautiful and attractive canopy to woodland camping but it can be quite disruptive to your throat and lungs! Also beware of chiggers aka red bugs who live in the moss. Hard to believe that Spanish moss was used to stuff mattresses in the old days!
