The Best Camping Near Olustee, Florida

I've camped here a few different times and loved it every time. There are some older couples that come there every year. During hunting season, there are portable toilets, but no water. Picnic tables at various spots and plenty of shady areas. 

Great dispersed camping

Depends on what you’re into. Great if you’re here as a hunt base camp maybe, but Cobb is not the idyllic peaceful personal campsite. I camped there with my boys in a tent, and they had a blast just playing in the dirt, but I had to figure out how to explain to them why someone had been there for the last 11 months and why we had to sleep through a running generator all night. 

We hiked in a few miles on the Florida Trail, so we had all our water supplies on our person. There’s a little pond there that we were purifying water out of with no issue, but if you drive in and car camp you can easily bring water with you. 

Not great for the backpacker, but probably pretty great if you’re driving in and hunting out of your tent or camper.

Easily accessible

Free no water or electricity, porta-potties . Most campers stay to themselves and there's room for privacy 

Awesome

This place is very beautiful way out in the woods there’s no bathrooms or electricity. 

Primitive camping

Currently closed, for maintenance, so could not stay there. Sites were level and Verizon service was good. As of 1 Nov closed with no date to reopen. State campground just down the road

Currently closed

We arrived late and saw the campground was taped off and a sign read closed indefinitely. However, we drove just past the campground and found many others camped on the side of the road. Trash and porta potty’s provided by National Forest. 

Campground Closed But Camping Allowed Just Past Entrance 

Cobb Camp Osceola is closed though the website makes no mention of the closure. There are people camping just beyond the campground without issue. Nice and quiet spot with 0 amenities. There was a portapoty and trash cans during hunting season. Good verizon and tmobile cell coverage. 

Actual campground is closed

Crime scene tape
Has been removed since last visit so that's a plus.  Lots of wide open area where if you have a trailer you can park. Not much privacy.  Has the feel of a regular campground but its free.  Small pond in the middle of the campground seems to have a few swirls. Can't drive thru the campground expect in a lifted truck due to water hole but main road access is available to the other side.
