Where you can pitch your tent now was the former Town of Kicco. Kicco is short for The Kissimmee Island Cattle Company. This is a large primitive campsite located along the Florida National Scenic Trail. It includes several benches, fire rings of different quality and picnic tables. The campground is located at the shores of Kissimmee River. There is no water available, but there is good access to the river. The water should be treated.
Since it is also accessible by car, there will be other more people except for just hikers.
A free permit is required from South Florida Water Management District to camp at Town of KICCO Campground. You can make your reservation online at sfwmd.gov/community-residents/recreation/sul. Choose KICCO to get to the right area.
