Welcome to the forum!!!!!! I've been to Tate's Hell State Forest. Not much there, pine trees, lime rock logging roads & lots of Black Bear shizz!!!!!! Wasn't impressed @ all. The permit you get @ Croom also works @ Tate's Hell. I rode it once & can't think of a reason to go back!!!!!!!!! There are members here that do ride Oceola & hopefully they will chime in! I have talked with them & sounds like a good place to ride.

Tate's Hell is nothing like croom!!!! From what i seen there it's a pine tree plantation. The roads are lime rock & I mean roads, not trails!!!! Big trees ready for cuttin to newly planted trees. The roads have no shade so be ready for lots of sun!!!!!!!!! By the time I got back the trail head I was glad to see the truck!!. It was one of the few times i felt like that!!! If I ever do go back (which i doubt I ever will) it will be in the winter so the heat isn't so oppressive. Seen very little wildlife but lots of bear tracks & their dropings. Didn't see any deer or hog tracks. Give it a try, you might like it. Suggest getting there first thing in the morning while it's still somewhat cool tho!!! I got there about 11am. & it was already hot, the sun was up high enough there was no shade on the roads!!!

They have been grooming trails at Croom!!! More relaxing if you stay on the groomed trails. I like the wild stuff but some times the mild and croom has it all since they started grooming..

Yes croom clay is nasty I avoid the stuff at all cost. they have started to groom trails in the last few months and have made several inprovments at the park.

There's ditches on both sides of the roads so I don't think that will be a problem.

Osceola is nice ! Lots of dry trails, alittle mud. Plenty of shade. Pretty quiet ! Not too much traffic, a big plus !

Plenty of trails that intersect with roads. Yes, you can get to the hunt camp. I went riding out there a couple weeks ago with Mingy and Mudbucket. Good time on the trails. We just had a ton of rain. Probably a good time to go is now. Low dust with a taste of mud.

I stuck to the trail marked out on the map. If the rangers find you riding around on other roads theres a good chance they will give you a ticket for not staying on the marked trail. You might want to call & ask them before you go to make sure!!!!!!! I just figured it was like riding in Ocala so I stayed on the marked trail.
