Amazing Wildlife Management Area, from heavy duty nature, to several amazing primitive campsites, this place has all you need to have fun. Several off-road trails, just be smart, do not get off-road unless you are fully prepared, a 4x4 is a must during summer time.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Are there camping areas for tents? If so, do they need t be reserved? Any maps or anything on the location of the camp sites and trails? The link on the FWC is not working.

SingerIsland Matt | Sep 15, 2019

Hello Matt I have been going to the JW Corbett area since I was a little boy and my father since he was a little boy. There are two entrances to the JW Corbett area and depending on what you are trying to do depends on which entrance you should use. There are designated campsites off of the main grade that goes through the entire Corbett area. Since it is after January 1st you may not leave your camp set up overnight during the week only on the weekends. If you would have started camping back in September you could literally leave your campsite setup all the way until January 1st. if you come in through the back entrance off Northlake boulevard then you will enter by the hungry land boardwalk and that is a fun little hike through the woods on a boardwalk over the water so you don't get wet. then drive through the Corbett area until you get to whichever campsite you would like it is a nice long drive all the way through until you get to beeline highway and indiantown road.

are there bicycle trails

Thomas Lupo | Sep 15, 2019
Justin Bozeman | Sep 15, 2019

There are marked trails or grades. I wouldn't necessarily say they're for bicycles although you can probably go down quite a few of them in the dry season which is right now. You can find a map online or at the gate when you enter. Make sure to pay your $6 per car load when you come in. The rangers will give you a ticket for it if you do not. It is a really fun place to go. If you enter from the back entrance off of Northlake you can take the board walk out into the woods otherwise just enjoy riding the trails. Only campfires in campsites they will be labeled. Make sure to bring extra water as there is no drinkable water out there

Can you hunt Turkeys, is there any Osceola turkey there

A Google User | Sep 15, 2019
Brian Aucoin | Sep 15, 2019

Yes they're Osceola turkeys there but you better be on top of your game. Public land lots of hunters. I recommend Three Lakes

Can't get a straight answer on cost to camp.... $3? $6? Free with stamp? Free with permit? Where Do i get a permit and how much does that cost? Are there no reservations then?

Google Account | Sep 15, 2019
Justin Bozeman | Sep 15, 2019

Hello I know I can be of assistance. When you enter either the front gate or the back gate of the Corbett area there will be a small yellow metal box... Take out the envelope and put $6 in it for each car load of people. Deposit the envelope into the box and hang the other portion on your mirror. Or if you go to a sporting goods store you can get an annual pass but each person needs one then... Easier for $6 car load. There Are No reservations when you get there you will understand it's just 63,000 empty acres.. the boardwalk is fun at the back by the youth camp. but then you must come further in words for the campsites. The campsites go on for Miles right off the main road

Ronald Kritt | Sep 15, 2018

Even tho there are a lot of walking paths and definitely many off road trails, I was told by a Fish & Game person that vehicles must stay on the main roads and stay off the many little side roads or face possibility of a ticket, except during hunting season. All I can say is that is what was told to me by one official. And yes, signage definitely needs help!
