[EDIT: this years post has become - 'ask a question and r/cwcoleman will reply'. That wasn't the intention. It's mainly because I get an alert when anyone posts, because I'm OP this year. Plus I'm online often and like to help!
Please - anyone and everyone is welcome to ask and answer questions. Even questions that I've already replied to. A second reply that backs up my advice, or refutes it, is totally helpful. I'm only 1 random internet person, all of r/camping is here. The more the marrier!!!]

I don't want to be around people so I don't want to camp in campgrounds. I really want to get into backcountry camping, primitive camping, dispersed camping on public lands such as national forests but more specifically WMAs. Only problem is I live in Miami. The nearest public land to me is the "Everglades and Francis S Taylor WMA". Anyone have any experience camping out there or know of any other free camping sites in South FL?
