Camp Izard, also written as Camp Izzard, was a fortification of the U.S. Army built along the Withlacoochee River (Ouithlacoochee) during the Seminole Wars. It is about 20 miles southwest of Ocala[1] and had a cemetery.[2] The site is now part of the Florida Seminole Wars Heritage Trail.[3] It was named for Lieutenant James F. Izard after he was killed in combat with the Seminoles in the area February 1836.[4]
In 1897, an annual picnic was reportedly held in the Camp Izard area.[1] The Camp Izzard Boat Ramp is in the area.
