Most hunting times are in the Fall and Winter. Call the Contact I have listed to obtain the hunting dates. The Croom Tract is the center tract of the Withlacoochee State Forest. Part of the paved Withlacoochee Rails to Trails travels through the Forest also. Camping is available at the Silver Lake, Hog Island, and River Junction Recreation Areas.
Silver Lake is the only camping facility with electric.
The other areas have water and bathrooms available. Primitive backpacking campsites are located in the interior of the Forest. Canoe launches are available at the Hog Island and Iron Bridge Recreation Areas. Silver Lake and River Junction launches may be able to accommodate larger boats. I got the girls up early today for canoeing, fishing, and hiking on the Withlacoochee River near Hog Island.
