We are looking for camping within 200 miles of Tampa for this weekend. All of the state parks are booked solid for weeks. Would anyone know of any campgrounds (not RV) or even if you had any other suggestions. Thank you!

Answer
At Ocala National Forest "dispersed" tent camping is allowed throughout the forest.

where is there a good tent camping site where there arent a lot of people?

me and my cousin want to go camping in tents, but need to know where to go. It has to be somewhere in between the crystal river area and the lake okeechobee area. i would like it to be a place basically where there is hardly any people, just a lot of woods and wilderness. maybe trails and stuff. i just need some good suggestions/ideas. thanks guys

Answer
I would recommend Ocala National Forest. Get a Primitive site. I can recommend hopkins prairie. It is a very small campground, so there aren't a lot of people there. Also the Florida Scenic Trail runs through it.
