Within Blackwater River State Forest, this dispersed camping area operates under Florida Forest Service management but currently faces access restrictions. A recent visitor reported the original campground remains closed indefinitely, though an unofficial alternative site has emerged nearby where portable facilities have been placed. The replacement location sits directly adjacent to the road, creating noise concerns for overnight stays.
The area allows campfires, pets, and alcohol while providing basic amenities including restrooms and trash service when operational. Cell service reaches this section of the forest. Campers should verify current access status before traveling, as conditions appear to change frequently in this dispersed camping zone.
