SWFWMD Mott Hammock Camp

Like another review here, we hiked in from Rock ridge Rd. About half the hike was on dirt forestry road, and half was on the Florida Trail through the woods. Fire ring seemed ok although we did not use the grill portion, just the ring. The picnic table is rotting and very close to collapsing and the top/table surface portion has become unattached to the whole...it has maybe a couple months left in its usable life. This is a back country campsite without water or any amenities, so everything must be carried in and waste must be carried out. It was a hunting weekend and I suspect most weather favorable times to camp here will coincide with hunting so if you take anything away from this review, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SOME BLAZE ORANGE TO WEAR ON YOURSELF AND YOUR PACK. We heard only a few gunshot

Hike in from Rockridge Road is 5.3 miles. 8.7 miles from the trailhead on County Road 471. Free campsite but needs to be reserved on the SWFWMD website. Quiet campsite with two picnic tables. Fire ring is rusted and falling apart. Someone made an alternate fire pit. Would be nice with a little maintenance.

The plight of here is the best
