Beautiful Lake View

We stayed at Karick Lake South while passing through the area and wanted to return. The park is clean and very well maintained by the campground hosts. It features a beautiful lakefront view. The Hosts were very attentive and welcoming.

Pleasant lake-side setting

We arrived about dusk and had a portable toilet with us, so cannot add information on facilities. The campground is located in an area of mostly large southern pines, so, while space between campsites is reasonably good, you can see neighbors. The campground was quiet enough. In the morning we only had time to hike about 1 mile along the lake, but the trails was reasonably good and had some variable forest types.

Serene lakeside campground.

The best parts of this recreation center are the 65-acre Karick Lake and the 4-mile Karick Lake Loop Trail, part of the Florida Forest Service's Trailwalker Program. Quiet, serene, and simply beautiful. The public boat ramp makes getting on the lake a breeze.

Campground features clean but dated restrooms with showers, 15 back-in RV sites with electricity and water, and a dumping station. There is no flora or privacy screening between campsites.
