The Best Camping Near Hernando, Florida

Sites and facilities are nice and clean. The host were very nice and helpful. Has equestrian area and post at each hotel site. Most sites are well shaded. A good number of sites looked hammock friendly, but be sure you have the 2 inch straps. Easy access to hiking and riding trials. Short drive into both Belview and Ocala. 

Wonderful place

Even with the entire campground full, quiet night, friendly camp host, clean site and facilities. Plenty of options for all types of campers even hammockers.

Another great stay

Sandy trails for horses, watch out for rattle snakes. Trail go on for miles and has a huge sand hill near by to ride horses on and cross over i75.

I went for my birthday and we had an amazing time, clean bathroom and shower facilities and plenty of space between campsites. If you are not a fan of horses, I don’t recommend this location, but if you do this is a wonderful spot (despite some of the smells, it wasn’t terrible though). The sounds of horse ringing in the morning was hilarious and fun. The sounds of coyotes at night spooked our dog, but we got through the night with some comforting and cuddles. I highly recommend this site for anyone who wants an adventure with some dogs and horses as well as bike and hiking trails.

A LOT of horses (when we went). Very animal friendly and great hiking!

I came for a night since it was close to other parks I wanted to visit, but I do think I’ll come back and have my father in law bring his horse with next time. Campsites are close together and it is a little open, but the trails are decent and it’s clean. There were more lightning bugs than mosquitos!! Bathrooms weren’t the best, the hosts are very polite, and the other campers were also respectful. Don’t pass it up if you have a horse who is itching to get out!

Great stay, loved the horses! 

Great place to stay with nice hot showers!
