Primitive camping, boat ramp, fishing. No Fees.

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.

Tried to stay here, but CG is not accessible. Bridge was overgrown and there were signs with: Bridge out. We stayed in CG few miles north called Wright Lake. Nice spot, $10 for drycamping ($5 if you have annual pass for National Parks or senior pass). Has restrooms and showers ($3 for shower).
