Mutual Mine - Withlacoochee State Forest

Perfect site for beginners!

VERY easy to book and the host is very nice and keeps things clean. We didn’t really have to check in, they email you a gate code. Bathrooms are clean and close to sites 4-6 . My wife and I camped at site 5 and it had close access to the stairs to get down to the water. They collect donations for firewood, they even have a tarp over the wood to keep it dry. We did check out the rest of the campground and if you like more secluded sites 13 and 1 are great but far from the restrooms. To sum it all up, my wife and I have camped before at festivals and in the mountains just a few times awhile ago, this is the perfect site for people who are getting into a camping lifestyle or just passing through because of how easy the process was and the amenities. We did see a lot of solo campers just passing through also and everyone was very respectful. Im the middle of the night you do hear coyote howls and there is a lot of motor noise from the road but for a drive up campsite, you can’t really expect it to be 100% quiet.

For the hikers: my wife and I have recently gotten into hiking and the citrus trail is AMAZING. We hiked up part of a loop and ended up finding a cave. In total we hiked 16 miles. The entire trail is over 40 miles long so the day after the big hike, we drove to the other side of the yellow trail (about 9 minutes away) and found Dames Cave and Peace cave and it was AWESOME.

Thank you to the host for keeping the campground safe and clean!! We will be back :)
