When you are driving east on State Road 520 after leaving Orlando on the Beachline Expressway (State Road 528), you will go through many miles of Old Florida wilderness on your way to Cocoa.

This quiet stretch of highway is a refreshing change from the giant growth and sprawl of most of the state. 

It is always comforting when you reach the St. Johns River to see the weathered wooden building still resting among a clump of palmetto trees.

Lone Cabbage Fish Camp is one of those few places that hasn't changed much in the many years it has been around.  It has not been replaced by a high rise condominium or a modern marina.

It's not really a fish camp anymore, but a relaxing casual waterfront restaurant.
