It is not near the ocean  (about 1 hour) and I'd call it a lake rather than a pond but in any case it's a great spot. The sites are first come first serve so they aren't booked up like other Florida spots. I always get a great spot mid-week mornings. I'd say late in the day Friday or Saturday might be harder but otherwise it's never been a problem. There is actually some dispersed camping nearby so if you ever got there and couldn't get a spot...

They have one loop with electric and water, another with only water and then a third they call "primitive." Decent bathrooms with showers. a "beach" area that was part of an old Florida resort back in the 1930s, and a boat launch. Several of the sites are on the water and I can usually get one where i can keep my kayak right in my site.  It's Forest Service so the prices are great (I think $30, $20, and $10) and about half that with a senior pass.

Also nearby is the Olustee Battlefield and museum which was the site of the largest Civil War Battle fought in Florida and they have a reenactment every Spring.

If you're thinking about going, post on here and I might zip on over there to say "hi" with my new camper.  I have been doing that a bit lately becuase its easy, close and very beautiful--I even commuted to work from there a couple of weeks ago.
