Nobles Camp

"There is a lot of clear room here. Picknick table and firepit. Well maintained."

"Great place to camp or have a picnic. If you take water from the lake, be careful of the resident alligator and make sure you filter it."

"A nice camping area on the north side of Alligator Alley. It is about 5 miles from the trailhead on the 2 track Florida National Seanic Trail. The trail is solid and usually dry, unlike the trail going south on the other side of the highway. It follows alongside of a canal on the left which is a good place to see alligators and various kinds of birds. There are also some side trails that allow you to make a loop hike and return by a different trail."

"This is one of the camp sites at the southern end of the Florida Trail. It is a bit off the main trail and can be accessed by the red and blue trails. There is a metal picnic table here. The area is a little open. A fair amount of trash, which had been collected into a pile but not yet hauled out, suggests fairly high use. I walked through and saw a party of four headed in, obviously for the weekend."

"Primitive camp with a pond next to it. Easy way to get water as long as you treat it for bacteria, etc. Only thing I would be worry about would be the bears. I saw bear scat on the camp itself and all over the path around the camp. The trail to the camp is very wide and well marked but it has very little shade."
