Southwest Florida Water Management District operates this gated campground along a dirt access road just off Route 52, requiring advance reservations and a gate code for entry. The facility sits within oak and pine canopy with palmetto underbrush, offering approximately 15 primitive sites split between regular camping and equestrian areas.
Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring, with most providing a mix of sun and shade throughout the day. Campers must bring their own water, as only non-potable water is available on-site. The single vault toilet receives inconsistent maintenance, according to multiple visitors. Two covered pavilions provide gathering spaces near the camping areas. "Most sites feel pretty secluded and never got full during my visit," notes Abby M..
The campground connects to approximately 20 miles of hiking, biking, and horseback trails extending into the broader Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park system. A spring-fed lake sits about 2.5 miles via trail, complete with a hand pump well and cast-iron bathtub serving as a horse watering trough. Wild hogs are active in the area, requiring caution during trail activities.
Convenience runs high with a Publix shopping center directly across Route 52 and a gas station within half a mile. AT&T provides 2-3 bars of 5G service throughout the campground. The facility operates as pack-in, pack-out for all trash. This setup works well for campers wanting primitive amenities with easy access to supplies and places to camp near Hudson for extended stays.
