    Beautiful scenery, birds, deer… & cows :) Rustic camping with tent/car camping sites under the shelter of trees. Fire ring provided at these sites. There is an adjacent open field for RV camping. One outhouse, no water (so if you camp, be sure to bring your own water). Well maintained and clean.

    A true escape into “Old Florida”! Lots of open space to enjoy. The Primitive Tent Camping under the trees made for a great base camp. A relaxing weekend under the stars.

    Beautiful little campsite for the night! We stayed in the hammock campground and had no problem with our 34’ skoolie. This will become a regular stop for us!

    I went there to stay a few nights at a primitive camping ground. Great location, peaceful. Must make reservation online.

    The camp is as natural and primitive as can be, only fire rings and vaulted Follet. No power. Trails from gravel and stones, sand and mud swampy kinda thing...there some cattle around and other animals....nearest gas stations is around 10 to 15 miles from camp......good place to camp and have good times with family and friends...

    Two camping areas. One shaded and one not...basically an open field. Sites are a little close in the shaded section but the are pretty good size so you have plenty of room. Bring your own water and toilet. They have a vault toilet, but this was not in a usable condition. I disposed of my gray water there and that was it. A nice campground. I’ll go back for a longer stay...hopefully away from a hunting weekend. Gravel roads are well maintained and passable with any car. There are some offshoot roads that you need a little clearance with. No problem for my outback. There is a small store and gas about ten minutes away for needed supplies.

    Nice quiet place. Road in was good. No potable water at campground. No amenities. Pack it in pack it out. The area was clean. Lots of sun for solar. The only drawback was the grass being so tall.

    Beautiful tranquility and lots of critters. For those who don’t like (or can’t) hike…nature and views can be taken in via drive☺️

    Visited in mid February and had a great time. This is a very large wilderness area and spent the entire afternoon cruising through the driving tour route as well as taking a hike. Wildlife was plentiful and easy to find. Some of what we saw were Shrikes, Cara Caras, Swallow Tail Kites, Limpkin, red shoulder hawks, wood storks, all the egrets and herons, alligators, deer and alot of cattle. This is not a tourist destination per se, but a good look at the ecosystem of this area. Make sure you bring your binoculars.

    Great place to walk in the woods. If you’re taking a drive make sure to take one of the side roads.

    Beautiful area to observe birds, deer and other wildlife. I saw a mother gator and her babies. Very peaceful too and the road is nicely maintained with just a few potholes considering.

    Great place to camp for 14Days for FREE all you have to do is make a reservation! Also tons of wildlife

  • 5/5 Brett U. 4 months ago on Google
    Absolutely beautiful place. We took our RV here for three nights and had a great time. They do not have electricity, so it’s quite primitive but as long as you bring what you need, it’s amazing. There’s also hunting available if that’s your kind of thing. Remote yet easy to get to. Two hours from Miami.

    Dinner Island is what it's always been. Changes for good or bad come slowly here. Many birds ,and this evening it's either a deer or a panther over in the field. It's dusk and the grass is high so can't tell which. The canals and ponds are clogged up with that invasive water hyacinth from sugar cane field fertilizer runoff. Regardless there's a couple of small alligators and the birds are trying to fish. Also rosiated spoonbills! Campgrounds are quiet but the grass needs cut in the field before a fire starts. The outhouses have been untended for a long time. No toilet paper, floors and walls dirty. Trash bins have been removed. As the season progresses, hope to see improvements.

    Great place out in the open to camp, only problem grass is a little to deep to do much walking around ! Stars are beautiful here !!

👍👍 This was pretty awesome. This is currently our view from our Harvest Host camp location. I have never seen a bridge that swings from. Side to side like this. The yachts that went thru there were huge. This is a beautiful area that we have never been to in Florida and I would highly recommend it when...
