A Well Known Spot

Absolutely crammed on weekends. If you can get there on a weekday though it is very nice. Follow your GPS religiously, it is very rural but google maps won’t lead you astray. Good fishing from the river banks too. Bathrooms aren’t anything to brag about.

Remote and natural!

Can flood but there is dry ground to camp on. Sulfur water in the outdoor showers, great tent sites right off river.

Great Riverside Camping

This is a favorite campground of our as we like to paddle the Oklawaha River via kayaks. The river in this area is magical. The campground is set in a little cove. Reservations are not available - First Come First Served. The camp host is wonderful - been there for years. We can leave our cars/tents after checking in and head out for a day on the river and know the camp host is keeping a sharp eye out. (We also give him a nice tip)

There is not much privacy between sites - they are "find a spot and settle in" There is a lot of night lighting, not many trees for hammocks. Bathroom and Outdoor shower are as clean as can be expected. Grounds are well kept.

Keep bug spray close at hand during rainy season.

A great nook

Great camping off the ocklawaha river. Beside the ocala national Forest. Cheap camping but a true beauty. A little known nook for fishing. Camping. Off the grid. Get a taste of the Ocala national Forest.
