Sitting within Ocala National Forest alongside Lake Delancy, this US Forest Service campground gives drive-in access to a primitive setup with vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables. No hookups or running water are available, though a hand pump well is on site. Bring your own water as a backup since the pump has been reported unreliable. The Florida National Scenic Trail runs close by, with additional dirt trails accessible directly from camp. Crowds are generally light. Hunters concentrate at the adjoining Lake Delancy West Campground during season, so timing matters. Campers planning trips around tent camping near Ocala National Forest will find this site among the more low-key options in the corridor. Payment is cash only via an honor system drop box at $10 per night.
