Weekend Campout - Bunkhouse Camp, Seminole State Forest
Details
(THIS ACTIVITY IS FOR FLORIDA TRAIL ASSOCIATION DUES PAYING MEMBERS)
Come join us for a relaxing weekend at the Bunkhouse Camp, located in the Seminole State Forest. The plan is to meet up as a group on Friday afternoon at 4:00 at the Bear Pond parking lot (look for my 2021 Ford F150, bright red). Then we determine which vehicles will enter through the gate and drive the dirt roads into the forest to the camp shuttling people and gear, and which will be remain in the parking lot, as we are limited in the number of vehicles that can enter the forest. We will set up at the camp and have dinner on Friday evening, followed by a campfire. On Saturday we can decide what we want to do, Blackwater Creek is a great paddling location, there are some great hikes in the forest, bicycling the numerous forest roads is fun, or you can just lounge around. Same goes on Sunday, but we will need to be packed up as check out is at 1:00. Be sure to bring your kayaks and bicycles, if this is what you like doing. FTA members and guests only, but note that there are only 6 bunks in the bunkhouse, so others will need to tent camp. This site is primitive, no water (need to bring, I will be bringing several large containers full), and there is primitive privy.
There is a fee to rent the Bunkhouse Camp for the weekend of around $8.00 per person, dependent on the number of participants.

More logistics to follow, such as group meals, firewood, as we get closer to the activity.
Should be a Great Weekend!
