Catface Corner Campground

When camping, visitors must purchase a permit or pay the overnight fee at designated overnight camping areas.

After making your reservation, Reserve America will send you a gate combination code in your confirmation email to unlock the entrance & exit gate and drive right to your campsite. The campground has a gate at both the entrance and exit of the campground loop that will both have the same combination. Please close and re-lock the gate behind you once you enter the campground to prevent traffic from day use visitors.

Maximum of Eight (8) persons and Two (2) tents per site in Catface Corner Campground.

Only tents are to be used for camping at these sites and must stay within the boundary lines designating the campsite. Any such structure must be removed by the ending date identified on the permit. Persons that do not remove camping equipment or tents by this ending date will be charged the current overnight primitive camp site rate per day until the site has been vacated. Permit holders that fail to comply by the deadline of written notice from the Florida Forest Service may be refused the opportunity to reserve sites on Florida Forest Service campgrounds in the future.
