Otter Camp

Reaching the clearing involves paddling upstream against the current, a sustained push from launch points like Wekiwa State Park that pays off with a leisurely drift on the return leg. The setup provides benches for four, cleared space for pitching multiple tents, and a heavy-duty bear box to secure scented gear from wildlife. Positioned right beside a sharp bend in Rock Springs Run, the camp puts paddlers near resting large alligators and cottonmouths in the shallows, accompanied by occasional airplane noise passing overhead.
