WILD

Overview

This campground is a part of Highlands Hammock State Park. Supporting a beautiful yet delicate ecosystem, central Florida's Highlands Hammock possesses a unique and richly divergent collection of plant and animal life. Highlands Hammock - with more rare and endemic species than any other Florida State Park - is a place where wilderness and history are preserved. Visitors can walk the trails where the Florida panther and black bear quietly pass beneath the ancient, towering oaks of a magnificent hydric hammock. Deer, alligators and a variety of birds frequent the park. With its beautiful old-growth hammock and variety of habitats and wildlife species, this is ...the Real Florida at its best. To see these natural wonders, hike any of our nine trails, including an elevated boardwalk through a cypress swamp. Make sure to travel our 3-mile bike loop, or take the tram for those who prefer to sit back and leisurely take it all in. At the Civilian Conservation Corps Museum, you can learn about the men who helped build this and many other Florida state parks. Make sure to see the CCC statue at the museum entrance and visit the Hammock Inn Concession, another building constructed by the CCC.
