This corner of Sumter County offers comfortable camping conditions through much of the year, with pleasantly dry air and temperatures that typically hover between a refreshing 68°F and a warm 80°F during the cooler seasons. Smart campers plan around the summer months when Florida shows its dramatic side—particularly during peak rainy weeks like Week 20, when over 1.4 inches of precipitation can transform the landscape into a lush, glistening wonderland. The 'dry' humidity that characterizes much of the year makes for ideal hiking conditions and comfortable nights under the stars.
