We were going to visit them in December but it didn\u2019t work out. We met them in Mexico where they camped at Xpu-Ha with us in 2013-14.<\/p>\n<p>What we like about this complex is the big campsites with hookups for only $15\/night, nice hiking trails, easy river access, and it is only 1 mile off the 46 mile long Withlacoochee State Trail, one of the longest paved trails in FL. Because this is a State Forest and doesn\u2019t take reservations and limits camping to 14 days, travelers can usually get a campsite.<\/p>\n<p>So even if it is cool there is still a lot to do. We took a short 10 mile bike ride on Friday and hike on Saturday. Sunday we plan to do some canoeing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We spent 10 days here (#5 on map) in early December December&#8217;s Blog and all three of their campgrounds were nearly empty.
