Camp Misery

[ camp ground for hunters ] Camp Misery is located between the Econfina River and Aucilla River, south of old Loughridge. It is on the timber holdings of Andrew Poppell. Old timers say the camp was named by the original government engineer who surveyed Taylor County. The story is that he suffered a severe leg injury and he made camp to allow the cut to heal. He called the place Camp Misery, for that is the way he probably felt.
