There is a fee for the improved sites. However, no fee is charged for the primitive camping areas. There is approximately 46.1 miles of dry all-weather hiking trails though out the Forest. The hiking trails within the Forest are a part of the well-marked Florida Trail system. The trails are easily identified by the orange markings for the main trail and blue markings for cross trails.
Water is available at the improved camp areas.
Cashing water near road crossings is recommended, especially during hot weather. The foliage is so thick in areas that it is difficult to see past more than ten or twenty feet. Other areas you can see a good distance. The terrain changes dramatically. Remember that I'm a Florida boy.
