About
Hammock Campground offers a rustic camping experience in Clay County's Jennings State Forest, approximately 30 minutes northwest of Middleburg. The campground features 10 primitive tent sites dispersed through diverse natural communities including longleaf pine sandhills, hardwood hammocks, and wetlands carved by North Fork Black Creek and its tributaries. Each campsite accommodates up to 8 people and includes a tent pad, fire ring, picnic table, and parking space. A communal vault restroom and a two-table pavilion with grills serve all campers. This is primitive camping with no electricity or potable water, so visitors must bring their own water supply. The surrounding forest provides extensive recreation including over 20 miles of multi-use trails for hiking and horseback riding, fishing and canoeing on Black Creek, and excellent opportunities for birding and wildlife photography. Hunting is permitted during designated seasons. Day-use hours run from 1.5 hours before sunrise until 1.5 hours after sunset.
