About
Maple Set Campground lies within the 37,736-acre John M. Bethea State Forest in Baker County, approximately 30 minutes north of Sanderson, Florida. The campground sits along the scenic St. Marys River and provides a rustic, primitive camping experience with 7 sites: 4 tent-only sites and 3 primitive hunt camp sites. This is a true backcountry-style campground with no potable water, no restrooms, and no electric hookups. A communal pitcher pump provides non-potable water only. Each site features a fire ring and picnic table. The surrounding forest is home to Florida black bears, river otters, bobcats, bald eagles, and sandhill cranes. Recreational activities include hiking on the Maple Set Trail with its boardwalk, swimming in the St. Marys River, fishing, canoeing, and wildlife photography. During hunting season, hikers should wear safety orange. Alcohol is prohibited and cell phone service is unavailable.
