About
East Tower Hunt Camp is a primitive camping area in the Osceola National Forest, offering a rustic, back-to-nature experience for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts. Located at the intersection of CR 250 and FR 202, this year-round hunt camp is used primarily during general gun season but remains accessible throughout the year. The site provides basic facilities including portable toilets during hunting season, but campers must bring their own water as no potable water is available on-site. This free primitive camp is one of several hunt camps in Osceola National Forest, along with Hog Pen Landing, Cobb, Wiggins, and West Tower. The location offers solitude and a genuine wilderness experience in Florida's smallest national forest, which serves as an important biodiversity corridor connecting to the Okefenokee Swamp. During general gun season, camping in the national forest is restricted to designated campsites like East Tower.
