   Try the Ocala National Forest . You can camp by the dam or you can get in the woods by the Oklawaha River. Lots of palmetto's, galberies, pine tree's and game and good fishing in the river or Rodman Reservoir. Oh yea there are lots of mosquito's, yellow flies,gnats, and snakes. ENJOY and Good luck.
   PS I'm a native Floridian it really is beautiful.

   Florida is a big state and what kind of camping are you going to do and what time of the year? I like northern central Florida. No matter where you go…Humid, many bugs, and flat. Osceola N.F. Bring a good bug repellant supply. Some of the many fine State Parks have Primative Areas to hike to, like Oleano SP north of Gainesville. The problem is the nights are hot. Bring baby wipes/ talcum powder or you will have to try to sleep "sticky". Leave that mountain sleeping bag at home! Use a tent with plenty of ventialtion and tight mesh windows. Gator encounters are very rare, not to worry. and snakes are usually not a problem just keep alert where you walk. Natives only camp in the winter months October to April. The Florida Trail Association can tell you more. Have fun!
