Starkey Wilderness Preserve — Serenova Tract

I lucked out and stumbled upon this campground late in the afternoon on my way down the west coast.

I did have to reserve a spot online and that provides you with the gate code to access the camping area.

There were a healthy number of sites but all relatively spaced out for privacy.

Also a pit toilet. Just used it for a one night stopover but enjoyed a beautiful sunrise and sunset!

Nice place to sit and quiet with bonfire but the cabin need to be clean with air filter and a lot of rooms & bathroom need to be clean too

You must reserve a site with Southwest Florida Water Management by website. It is sometimes closed to hunting. There are lakes and multiple varieties of terrain.

Nice place, relatively quiet. Little light pollution. Sites are very spacious. Close and clean facilities. Saw a good bit of wildlife: deer and wild boar. Hiking and biking trials. I regular tent sites (which are also hammock friendly). Also have cabins for rent. Prices are on the lower end, $17 a night for tent sites. Only reason for the 4 start is the reservation system has to be done through the county park and rec sites.
