Learn more about alerts →Paddlers, swimmers, and trail riders planning a 2026 trip will find a lot here: canoe launches onto the Wekiwa River, an 8-mile multi-use loop, and large shaded sites with water and electric. Request a loop deeper in the campground to buffer road noise.
Anyone hoping to camp here in 2025 is out of luck, the campground is closed all year. When it reopens, spring and summer weekend crowds swamp the spring pool, and restroom cleanliness drops noticeably during peak periods.

Plan your island escape between October and April, when comfortable temperatures and clear skies make every moment outdoors a pleasure. The cooler, drier months offer ideal conditions for hiking, paddling, and wildlife watching without the intense heat and afternoon thunderstorms that characterize Florida summers. While the island welcomes visitors year-round, summer months bring higher humidity, frequent rain showers, and more active mosquito populations—so savvy campers pack their bug spray or wait for the glorious fall and winter season.
Cooler, drier months ideal for hiking, paddling and wildlife viewing (Oct–Apr recommended).
