>>2869703I've done a lot of the NW section of the FT. There's a camping spot on the confluence of the Suwannee and Withlacoochee River that's nice. Good mix of secluded (you've got to hike ~5 miles to get to it) and accessible (via kayak) and has a decent view. Might be mildly annoying during day hours with boaters flying nearby, but that's about it.
I'm not going to pretend Florida has some crazy views or mindblowing trail... but that's some of the better trail in florida for the summer because there's actually moving water nearby. Spring water runs ~72 degrees year round.
The river camps (2 out of 5 are open because of hurricane damage) are where it's at. Free to kayakers, but I don't think they check or care unless they're filled. Technically you need to book, but I never have. Typically ~5 raised enclosures for chilling in, with 5-10 primitive sites. Water and electric, hell, the enclosures come with a fan and wall outlets.
