Big Buck Camp

This is one of the primitive campsites that is only accessible via kayak or hiking trail. It's a great little spot close to the water, though not as secluded as I would have liked, as it is right on the intersection of two hiking trails. Due to this location, hikers will often treat your picnic table and benches like some kind of rest stop. (Hikers: this is considered poor camp ettiquite. It's like going into someone's front yard and sitting on their patio furniture.) However, you will definitely feel the seclusion when the park is closed, as there will not be another human in sight if you're camping alone. Getting there: I don't own a kayak(some day), so I hiked in, which I am told is not how most campers get there. The shortest way is nearly two miles on the main hiking trails. These tra

Did a two night camp here, found out there are a couple "perpetual campers" that live in the area and like to invite themselves to visit your campsite and become indignant with you if you ask them to leave. Also there are plenty of hikers that walk past the camp as well because it is located near a well traveled hiking trail. Otherwise its not a bad site, there is plenty of wild boar in area and other wildlife and its a large campsite where we comfortably fit 7 hammocks.

Didn't camp here (yet) but took a break from kayaking to peep it out. Was pretty surprised to see it had posts to set hammocks up, a nice fire ring with wooden benches around it, a food locker and picnic table. Just more than I expected for a primitive camp spot. 👌

Primitive Campsite you can walk or kayak to. We arrived at dark and missed the sign which is in a little cove. This campsite is ~100 feet from the Rock Springs Run. If hiking you would have to hike from Wekiva Springs State Park because it's on the west side of the river.

Peaceful. Then in the distance I heard a cricket, and then like a wave the sound of thousands of crickets came in my direction. And then just like it began, there was silence again.
