Is there camping in Florida besides at the state parks?

We are looking for camping within 200 miles of Tampa for this weekend. All of the state parks are booked solid for weeks. Would anyone know of any campgrounds (not RV) or even if you had any other suggestions. Thank you!

    At Ocala National Forest "dispersed" tent camping is allowed throughout the forest.

    I second Ocala national Forest. No reservations needed it is "primitive" camping where you hike in with your gear. The trails are pretty nice and some of the lakes you`ll come upon have great bass fishing, find a spot to setup your tent and you`ll be golden. Great place to hike and not see anyone.
