Apalachicola National Forest holds Smith Creek Landing within forested terrain along Smith Creek, where the site sits close to both the creek and the Apalachicola River system. The US Forest Service manages this established campground in Sumatra, Florida. Data on specific amenities remains limited, but the forested setting and water proximity make it a reasonable base for anglers and paddlers. Nearby options include Wright Lake Campground to the north and 53 Deep Creek Campsite to the southeast, useful reference points for planning a longer stay in the forest.
Description
Smith Creek Landing, at the southernmost tip of the forest and directly on the Apalachicola River, provides the last chance to put in or take out a boat or canoe before heading downriver off the forest. It offers primitiva camping, and is used as a hunt camp during general gun season.
