    Ichetucknee Family Canoe and Cabins

    Great fun for the family.

    Best campsite I've been to so far! With the state park close by, you can go tubing, kayaking or just for a swim. The office has pool tables and games for kids to enjoy. The staff are incredibly friendly. There's also a lot of friendly animals that live on the property, such as goats, a donkey, chickens, dogs and cats. It's a wonderful family friendly experience for all. Bring your friendly pets too! Very pet friendly.

    Eleanor Oaks RV Park

    Rv park, BUT not….

    FHU, unleveled concrete pad with a picnic table. So close to the FT resident in the tiny home next to us, that we could not sit outside comfortably. Also, our area was right by her sewage hook up. And then there was a storage shed, leaf piles, random stacks of supplies, and a residential trailer behind us. The Pool was small but clean, we didn’t use. Dog park was ok, but other people don’t pick up after their pets, even with signs, and available poop disposal can. Maybe if management put mutt-mitts out, pet owners might use them. We booked months ago, and we arrived a bit after 5 due to traffic, there was no welcome packet, and no one answered the phone, with the posted #. Thankfully, the maintenance guy was friendly and helped us find our spot. It wasn’t easy to get to, or to see where it was. It was way too small to accommodate our 5th wheel and Dooley. If someone had been in the spot in front of us, we wouldn’t have been able to get in. The map online doesn’t even have our site listed. We were visiting family, so thankfully we weren’t there much. The area has lots of good restaurants, attractions, fishing, and springs! I do not leave 3 star reviews, but my honest review is to help others from paying $400 a week, at this park. I was hard pressed to leave a 3 star…. But Because of the area attractions, FHU, and helpful maintenance employee, was the reason I did. I would not reserve here again. Especially at the high price.

    Grand Lake

    Another great experience!

    We wereet at the entrance by a gentleman in a golf cart. He brought us directly to our site, and helped us get squared away. He recommended the local restaurant for dinner. Not a lot of options, but all the options were good!

    Great dog park, 2 separate zones!!!

    This is a golf/ lake community that is like the old TV shows. People walking dogs, riding golf carts, and meeting at the club house. We will return when we have more time to stay!

    Goethe Trailhead Ranch Campground

    Great! Super clean and quiet

    When we go camping we like our peace and quiet and let me tell you that's exactly what we got here. I can't even explain how nice it was to come to a place that wasn't near a roaring highway, airport, train etc. I haven't slept that well in years. The pool was fabulous and very nicely kept. Grass lots were level. Full hook up was a huge plus. We got to bring our dogs and even had a dog park. They had horses in the pasture nearby which was neat. Over all thoroughly enjoyed our experience and can't wait to return.

    Ocala North RV Park

    Enjoyable

    I have stayed here a few times. Very enjoyable and I always look forward to coming back. It's going through some renovations. New owners have paved all the spaces, the shower house has been redone, they are digging a beautiful pond in front. They have a little dog park, walking trails, off property is a nice bike ride, huge swimming pool, activities, laundry room and friendly people. At night the stars are amazing. Close to 1-75 and reasonable rates. This is a good place to stay.
