Treasure Coast District Camping Information
TREASURE COAST DISTRICT CAMPING INFORMATION 5/12/2011 Table of Contents Topic Page 1. Introduction 1 2. Free Camping 2 3. Camping Fee Required 3 4. Campground Information Matrix 5 5. Websites For Information 8 Fellow Scouters; I have attempted to put together a list of camping locations that are within approximately three and a half (3 1/2) hour’s drive from our Treasure Coast District. I narrowed down the information to hiking, camping, and canoeing. This does not mean that other outdoor recreational opportunities don’t exist at these locations. Other activities that may be available include bicycling, fishing, horseback riding, hunting, and wildlife viewing. I hope this information will be useful to you when you do your yearly planning. My goal was to show that there are many more places to camp than we originally thought and to give the Scouts a variety of environments to experience in Florida. All of the sources that I used to compile this information I obtained from the Internet and personal knowledge. The websites I used I have listed at the end of this brochure. If you have any suggestions or camping areas that you know of that I didn’t list please let me know. I am sure I did not capture all of the camping opportunities. Rick Conover Treasure Coast District Committee Camping Chairman 1 FREE CAMPING 1.

The Council is not a policy organization, but rather seeks to provide unbiased, objective information about scientific issues. Baseline support for the program is shared by the Coastal Resources Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (through the Coastal Management Program) and Georgia Sea Grant, with project-specific support from the National Science Foundation and other agencies.
