This is a small, primitive campground run by Florida State Forests. There are a total of four sites, each with a picnic table and fire ring. There is a shared port-a-potty that is regularly maintained and non-potable water. No electricity hook-ups.
The campground is intended for tents or small camper vans due to the narrow, unpaved three-mile drive to reach the campground. There are also some low-hanging plants. There are sections where it would be difficult to pass an oncoming car.
Reservations are required, and cost $9-something, increasing to $17-something with the reservation fee and local taxes. All four sites were occupied when we visited mid-week in mid-March, 2025. Another car also came along hoping to find an unoccupied site, to no avail.
We enjoyed walking along the forest roads, and the very dark and quiet site -- except for our neighbor who blasted Irish music until 9 pm. (I guess he was extending his and our St. Patrick's Day)!
Of note, there is no beach access, and there are signs to be aware of potential mosquitoes (yes, but not many in mid-march), alligators, and rattlesnakes. We didn't see either of the latter two. Also, we were given a gate code to access the area. read more
