This is an amazing place to hike and camp for experienced campers and families alike. The main campground is similar to many other sites in the area, but the backcountry camping locations are the real gems of the property. Following the well-marked trails, there are 4 different locations you can hike to and camp at. The sites have a fire ring and a few benches along with many trails nearby. The area is very wild, huge numbers of birds and different insects you cant see in many other places. The sound of coyotes and boars can be heard at night occasionally, which is really a unique experience. You can also walk through 3 different ecosystems in a matter of hours. Thid property is great, and since its free I highly recommend giving it a chance.

Ive been camping in Florida my whole life... and this Preserve is a HIDDEN GEM!!! The entrance for the West Tract is a bit difficult to find, as our GPS took us to the East Tract entrance twice. But once we made it, we had the best time at the backcountry campsite! We did have to cross over two small swampy spots along the trail, but we made it to the site dry. You do need to keep an eye & ear out for the wild hogs though.

This is a top Florida destination for Public Land Hog Hunting. Trophy hogs are abundant but you must put in the time and effort for success. Our Florida state record buck was taken here a 206" non-typical and I have double digit hog harvests over 200lbs on this property. Go deep and hunt hard!

Roads a bit rough probably would be best suited for a vehicle with clearance. Lots of places to get lost. I used this area for a quite place to sleep. Did not notice to many fire rings or any developed campgrounds. Dogs were always barking in the distance from the local hunters.

We went here for a scout hike. It was quite nice, the kids had a great time. Im only not giving it 5 stars because the variety of things to see was a little lacking, honestly probably more the fault of Florida than the park.

Amazing place to get away from everything and get lost in the wilderness. There are benches charcoal grills campgrounds a boat ramp and numerous hiking a casual bicycling trails but no bathrooms at the west tract location.

Used the access point off of CR-471 on the Pasco-Sumter county line. Went for a 15 miles trail run round trip. Trails are easy to run/bike. No entrance fees to access trail. Very weak cell signal in the area.

It wasnt a preserve when I was there. It was green swamp wma. Ive done a lot of deer and hog hunting on that land. Great place does anyone know if its still also a management are and can you still hunt it.

Went to boat dock and kayaked. Go to the "right" DOWN river, if you go left it gets narrow and shallow. Going right we saw a 5+ foot gator. this was around new years . Good scenery and pretty remote,

There are a lot of great camp areas within this huge preserve. Do your homework to find out what will suite you best. Been visiting Green Swamp for several years now. We highly enjoy it.

A great place if you like the great outdoors, natural Florida, and can tolerate spiders and mosquitoes. Look up geocaching / letterboxing for added fun!

Great place for an easy nature walk or hike. Trails are clearly marked and well maintained. Bicyclists should have fun here as well.

Its a very nice swamp, as far of swamps go. Lots of trees and marshy land. If youre looking for a good swamp, this swamp is for you.

Looks horrible they dont even have paved road inside the property just dirt road so if its raining you will be stuck in the mud

Enjoyed the Van Fleet Bike trail. Quiet, flat, and straight as an arrow! Lots of wilderness, and saw a gator on the trail.

Nobody would believe that Withlacoochee River Park is a mere county park. Its definitely at a promo state park level.
