      "reviewBody": "This campground is part of the [Lower Hillsborough Wilderness Preserve](http://www.swfwmd.state.fl.us/recreation/areas/lowerhillsborough.html) within the [Oak Ridge Equestrian Area](http://www.swfwmd.state.fl.us/recreation/areas/lh-oakridge.html). You’re a little closer to the road (about ¼ to ½ miles away) than if you stay at the [Oak Ridge Campgrounds](https://thedyrt.com/camping/florida/oak-ridge-primitive-campground) about 2.5 miles north on SR 597 “Morris Bridge Road”. Although this isn’t a terribly busy road so you shouldn’t hear too much traffic sounds, especially at night. You do need to get a **_free_**permit to camp from the South West Water Management District [here](https://www.swfwmd.state.fl.us/recreation/make_a_reservation.php). The campground here is also huge as you can use it either as a primitive site or an equestrian site. Although it's nice and open you have a ton of tree coverage. Within the campgrounds themselves you do get a nice mixture of oak and pine tree coverage, so if you want to hang anything from the trees you’ll have plenty of options.\n\nThis campground is also a lot harder to find as there is no signage from the road and Google Maps is currently trying to take you to the main entrance which is where the sister Campground “Oak Ridge” and main entrance to the equestrian area is located. The GPS location for the entrance is: [28.1189, -82.2975](http://maps.google.com/?q=28.1188898151781,-82.2974567860365) or the address is 14501 Morris Bridge Road Thonotosassa, FL 33592\\. I also have a photo of the street number sign you can see from the road. It’s basically right across the road from the [Flatwoods Wilderness Park](https://www.swfwmd.state.fl.us/recreation/areas/lh-flatwoods.html). I was all alone, and if you camp in the summer you probably will be to as it gets hot, really hot and humid. You need to make sure and bring lots of cold water to drink, because the pump isn’t portable and I doubt you’ll be feeling great after boiling it off. You can also filter it, which isn’t as bad as the water is relatively cool.\n\n**Facilities include:**\n\nPicnic tables, fire rings, a non-potable water well, and a clean (actually smelled clean) ADA portapot. No trash cans or drinking water.\n\nOver 18 miles of Equestrian/Hiking trails",
