Hike-in tent-only campsiteOften described as an oasis in the metropolitan Orlando area, Hal Scott Regional Preserve and Park is a favorite for its 17 miles of trails for hiking, horseback riding and bicycling, as well as its abundant wildlife and primitive tent-only camping. Hike-In Campsite 2 (locally nicknamed the Yates campsite) is located on the yellow trail, about a 2-mile hike from the parking area on Dallas Boulevard.
