THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THIS PROPERTY IS THE SITE OF THE OAK RIDGE EQUESTRIAN AREA. WHILE STILL RURAL, THIS REGION OF HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY IS TRANSITIONING TO SUBURBAN SUBDIVISIONS. THE TRAIL IS SHADED WITHIN A FORESTED WETLAND AND OPEN THROUGH PINE FLATWOODS.

Quiet campground and a perfect base to explore the Tampa Bay area. You can do shopping or spend the day on a Clearwater beach, eat out in a local restaurant and still be back in time to spend a couple of hours around the campfire. It has 3-5 campsites, spread out over a large area with lots of trees. T-mobile reception is 2 bars 3G and some road noise can be heard and an occasional plane, but neither is bothersome.
It’s a dog friendly park, but your pet must stay on a leash and you have to pick up after him. The only drawback is the campground reservation system; reserving on-line is easy, but it takes a few business days for you to receive the confirmation email with the number of the access lock.

After passing through the gate, you drive less than one mile on a well-maintained limestone road to the camping area, a grassy area with many tall, long-leaf pines. It is far from optimal for solar setups, but you may catch a few solar rays when you stay close to the road, that has much needed southern exposure. A clean area with a porto-potti and a water pump (non-potable) are available, but no garbage collection. A small pavilion for group camping, 5 picnic tables and several fire pits.
