Secluded camp only really accessible on foot or bike. Well worth the hike, most people wont go there because its much further than Carpenter Camp. There is one fire pit with a grille and a picnic table, however there are more firepits that people have made before.
Within 25 meters there is a pond thats pretty murky but its filterable (if you brought a filter) and its nice to have freshwater accessible. Of course with that, you also get bugs and possibly animals coming thru your camp to get to the watering hole.
There is a bear line already set up, I suggest you use it to string up your foods and such. There are also good sets of trees for hammock emplacement too if you so desire.
Nice primitive campsite. More shade than Carpenter Camp but still quite warm on a sunny day. I visited in mid-March deep into the dry season and the only water was in a gator hole behind the camp and was bright green in color… you could filter it if you had to but not ideal. The camping area itself is fairly deep with a number of nice spots to pitch a tent. There was a bear hang set up in a tree but it was maybe 8 feet high… maybe the Big Cypress bears are on the short side?
