Traditional Rustic Florida
My wife and I love the Little Big Econ State Forest. It is close by, has numerous trail heads, and offers a wide variety of outdoor activity activities. The camping spots are primitive but are in areas that you seldom find in more densely populated areas. Enjoy the sights and sounds of nature right in your backyard.
Beautiful area, quiet.
Took a little bit of recon to find this since Little Big Econ has so many trails. Clean but not very secluded area if a busy weekend, you'll have have lots of hikers-by.

Beautiful Florida hiking trail
Little Big Econ is a very nice place to camp over the weekend. It has several primitive camping spots which are pretty private. The trails are well kept, and even when flooded there are easy back trails to take. I can’t wait to go back and have a camping/ canoeing trip.
