I stayed at a camp for years in pinecrest..across the street from the bar..next to jack gov’s at Merrill vans place..we had a camp out of scorpion head..I gave up competitive shooting to save my hearing when the tinnitus became too pronounced. Now, its inshore fishing. I'm looking forward to getting the Ranger to pull the boat rig and so I don't leave her Escape, the only tow vehicle we now have, sitting in a marina parking lot all day. Will be exploring some new areas in Florida this year with the boat once the Ranger has passed the 1K mileage point.
Doc, Pinecrest is an incorporated city within the greater Miami metro area. A few bars on US1 but no camps.I stayed at a camp for years in pinecrest..across the street from the bar..next to jack gov’s at Merrill vans place..we had a camp out of scorpion head..

You are very correct..my camp was on loop road across the street from the pinecrest bar and grill...in the middle of the 40 mile bend and Monroe station. The bar is no longer there but the road house still is...Merrill died last year and we don’t go there anymore..too many airboat rules and it’s no longer fun since the park put their 2 cents in...btw ..that’s where Irvin rouse lived who wrote the orange blossom special for Jonny Cash..also the steps of Capone’s gambling house is on Merrill property...small world anyway..Doc, Pinecrest is an incorporated city within the greater Miami metro area.

There is an old ghost town called Pinecrest out in the Everglades, on Loop Road. Supposedly had some history with Al Capone back in the day. I have driven by there a couple of times but don't recall seeing any place to camp.
