Osceola National Forest website:
Hunt Camps
Hunting is a very popular activity on the Osceola National Forest. General gun season runs from mid November to early January and during that time all camping is restricted to designated hunt camps and Ocean Pond Campground. A total of nine hunt camps are located on the forest and are open year round to the public. One of the hunt camps have toilet and water facilities year round and toilets are provided at the remaining eight camps during the hunting season.
Primitive Camping
Primitive camping is allowed anywhere on the national forest except at Olustee Beach. However, camping is restricted to designated hunt camps and Ocean Pond Campground during hunting season. A primitive camp shelter is located along the Florida National Scenic Trail and is available on a first come first served basis.
The posted coordinates are for Cobb Camp (one of the nine Hunt Camps). Cobb Camp is also referred to as a Scouting Camp. This is the free campsite that will be used for the upcoming geocaching event (Fourth Annual Florida Finders Fest.)
