I am trying to find out some info on camping in Florida from those of you who actually do it. Sure the FWC website says stuff, but I’d rather hear it from you. I'm not really interested in Camp Grounds and would rather find some state land near a lake or river, find a patch of land and set up camp for a few days. I'm just not real sure if its allowed during Hunting season though. Any info or insight would be great. As I've said, I'm new to the area and am trying to get a feel for everything before I head out.

Example, Can I drive to Croom per say and set up camp then do a little hunting and fishing for a few days without having to go back to the FWC stations at the beginning and end of each day?

Thanks,
Hox

nope.. you cannot camp at croom.. 99 percent of wmas you cannot camp on. but some have a camp ground near or on the wma in a designated area. I just search for camps near the wmas i hunt.. like when i go to cedar key i got a camp 5 mins from the scrub.. when i go to chazz.. i got a camp 5 mins from the place.. and so on.

If they allowed that it would be a poachers dream.. and night hunting is not allowed on wmas. WIth hogs moving at night it would be a mess of night hunting and be dagerous.
