Notes:  As of late-November, Okefenokee is not yet taking reservations for Buzzards Roost. There

is no ETA on the completion of this new platform camp. As soon as the site opens up, I plan to

spend a night there to get additional information and photos.

 

Has vault/pit toilet. Enjoy isolation at this campsite! Replaces the decades-old Monkey

Lake camp. The animal noises at night in the Chesser Prairie can be loud, extraordinary!
