Two backpack camps are available on segments of the Florida Trail. Maps of the trail are available at the ranger station.
One camp is 5 miles out along the trail, and the other is 9 miles out. A pitcher pump is located near each camp. Water must be treated. Pets are not permitted on this trail and/or at these camps. Collection of firewood is not permitted in Florida State Parks; be sure to pack a stove for cooking.
Overnight trips to these camps must begin by specified times of the day; reservations are not required but are suggested. Call the ranger station at 772-546-2771 for information and reservations.
This was our first camp spot during our Ocean to Lake Trail hike . Privy was clean, water was available " we filtered it and treated it " and there was a trash receptacle. The camp spot itself had a fire ring and picnic benches. What more could a backpacker ask for.
