Planning a Safe Overnight Camping Trip in Florida's State Forests

Florida’s state forests offer amazing opportunities for overnight camping, but preparation is key for a safe and enjoyable trip.

  • Permits: Reserve a campsite or obtain a camping permit from the Florida Forest Service before heading out.
  • Gear: Bring waterproof tents, bug netting, sleeping bags rated for humidity, and a first aid kit.
  • Food & Water: Pack enough drinking water or purification tablets; store food securely to avoid attracting wildlife.
  • Fire Safety: Use designated fire rings, keep water nearby, and fully extinguish fires before sleeping or leaving camp.
  • Weather: Check the forecast; Florida’s afternoons often bring sudden thunderstorms—set camp on higher ground.
  • Wildlife Awareness: Store trash properly, keep distance from animals, and never feed them.

Tip: Arrive before sunset to set up camp safely and avoid navigating trails in the dark.

⚠️ Safety: Let someone know your trip details, carry a map & compass (GPS isn’t always reliable), and be aware of fire restrictions or alerts.
