As of two-three years ago, I was reading stuff here or somewhere saying that those forests were having problems with meth labs and unsavory illegal permanent campers.

The Ocala National Forest had a problem with the 'Rainbow Tribe' but that was more than a decade ago. We inadvertently drove up to one of their camps and got plenty of hostile stares and gestures. The CG was a real mess. But I haven't heard of other incidents, which doesn't mean that they aren't there.
