Okeetantie is a campground in Florida, managed by the Army Corps of Engineers and located about 2 miles from the community of Buckhead Ridge. It is a simple base for an overnight stay rather than a destination with a set route or climb, and it is not a reservable site. The most comfortable months for a visit are the cooler part of the year. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Okeechobee show January highs around 74°F with lows near 52°F, while summer brings highs in the low 90s and rain on about 14 days a month from June through September. For time on the water, Henry Creek, a boat launch, lies about 9 miles away.
