Free primitive camping. Trailhead for the Florida Trail.

Camping is allowed anywhere on the Apalachicola National Forest for a maximum of 14 days, except during general gun season. During General Gun season, camping is only allowed in hunt camps and at developed recreation areas. In the hunt camps, campers may stay from 14 days prior to general gun season to 14 days after general gun season. Hunt Camps are heavily used during hunting season.

Hunting season (General Gun season) dates vary each year but include Thanksgiving weekend (Thursday-Sunday) and December and January. The official dates and designated hunt camps are identified each year in the Apalachicola Wildlife Management Area brochure published by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and available at their website.

State hunting license fees pay for portable restrooms and dumpsters at many hunt camps during hunting season. At sites without dumpsters, plan to take your trash home with you (Pack it in, Pack it out).
