Best Time to Camp at Tate&Apos;S Hell State Forest Womack Creek Primitive Campsites

Experience the sultry embrace of Florida's wilderness, where moderate temperatures create year-round camping opportunities. The forest's microclimate brings refreshing afternoon showers that nurture the lush landscape, while morning mists rise from the wetlands like nature's own theater curtain. Summer visitors should come prepared for the forest's tiny welcoming committee—mosquitoes thrive in these humid conditions, making bug spray as essential as your tent stakes.
