Washburn Campground is an equestrian and primitive camping available.
Sites have picnic tables, fire rings and/or grills.
A free reservation is required and must be displayed or available at campground.
It's free normally I give 5 starts for free. But lately this place hasn't been cared for. Havent cleaned bathrooms in months.
Our family loves to come here for the day and get away. Thick Forrest trees canopy walk ways; shading you as you hike along the trails. We have seen a few people with their horses and there is enough room for all walks of life here.
I just stayed here the past 2 nights, and it was really nice. They pumped out the porta John yesterday, but it wasn't terrible before, so it's being maintained well.
There is a bit of noise from the road, but otherwise it's quiet and peaceful. It looks like a few of the fire rings have walked away, which is unfortunate, but I counted 3. The one closest to the water doesn't have a grate on it, so keep that in mind. Definitely a great place to camp.
Honestly, all of the SWFWMD sites I've stayed at have been nice. Don't expect amenities, pack it in pack it out.
4 stars cause it's free with a with a portable Jon that actually stays clean but there is alot of road noise from the traffic that never stops also non portable water not good enough to wash a dog in but overall it's clean easy access
We go here all the time! We like to go walking, but you can also go horseback riding, camping, all different kinds of things we even do geo hunting out here. We love this area
