Notes:  Large covered platform area with table. Has raised vault/pit toilet 150-ft. away from shelter

to the left (southeast). WINTER 2024/5 UPDATE: converted from day-use only shelter, back to an

overnight use camp. Paddlers that pass by during the day will still use this as a rest stop; plan on

having visitors during the day when camping here. Even though this campsite is partially on land,

there is not a fire ring here. Sits in a very pretty part of the Suwannee Canal. 

​

Cell Phone Service:  Yes. Enough signal to make phone calls and send texts with pictures.  **Please keep in mind service can vary based on carrier, type of phone, weather and sky conditions. Cell phone service is never guaranteed in Okefenokee and this is based on individual experience.
