Tucker Hill Forestry Primitive Sites

Dispersed primitive sites sit just off the A Loop trail within the Croom Tract, accessible through the Tucker Hill Day Use Area or by hiking in from connecting trails. Campers can park in the street-side lot to avoid day use fees, then walk the half-mile to sites with their gear. Some sites include established fire rings, while others require using previously burned areas only.

The sites rest close enough to the trail that hikers may pass by during the day. Vehicle traffic from nearby Croom Road creates some nighttime noise, though the road sees light use. Camp hosts provide oversight, and full restroom facilities are available at the day use parking area. Cell service reaches the area, and the location provides access to three major hiking loops ranging from 7 to 9 miles each. For additional camping options, check places to camp around Nobleton.

Easy access - lots of trails

Access primitive camp from the Tucker Hill Day Use Area located on the Hernando County side of the Croom Tract on Croom Road. or hike in from trails. If parking in gated day use area there are fees - but parking in street side lot on side that accesses campsite there will be no fee.. You can hike all day and walk the 1/2 mile to car to get camping gear so you don't have to carry a heavy pack all day. Primitive site is located just off the A loop and you can get in some wonderful hiking here! Sites are dispersed and some have fire rings - sites that do not please be respectful and burn only where fires have been before. Not far off trail at all so you may see persons hiking pass. You can hear some vehicle traffic at night due to close proximity to road -but not a well traveled road. Camp hosts have been friendly and there are full bathroom facilities in day use parking area.
