Recently renovated. New poles for backpacks and new benches, on the FTA-OTL

A primitive campground on the Ocean to Lake trail, it is well maintained by the FTA-Lox chapter. A large site capable of housing multiple tents and hammock setups, a firepit, 4 wood benches surrounding it and two poles for hanging backpacks. Plenty of firewood in the area. No water source on site, however there is a canal (Big Gopher) 0.2 miles west of the camp on the OTL that is a good source. As with any water in FL, watch for alligators and filter before drinking. I was able to get sporadic cell phone service while there. I stayed there during the dry season and out of hunting season. Check for both as the camping experience will be drastically different. We parked at lot N and hiked 4.3 miles to the camp.
