Pack In Pack out, clean up

Be prepared with everything you need the closest town is Eustis about 20 miles south. Nice location, but it has an access road going through the campsite to a private in holding and they use it. The night I was there they drove through 3 times. There are also locals who like this spot and don't respect the tradition of hanging something at the entrance or putting up a barrier, I had 4 people drive in to see if the site was available.

If you want privacy go somewhere else, if you want views and don't mind people coming and going this is a nice spot.

The drive into this spot is a little rough, I wouldn't bring a normal height car into the site as the road looks like it can get deepish puddles and has some rocks that could catch bumpers.

Fires are allowed with a permit only, do your research first the number listed doesn't have area codes and they need to be gotten in advance as there is no cell signal.

If you're on your way to Canada and need to rest this might be a good choice.

If this spot is taken there is a paid campground just 5min up the road, closer to Canada.
