Best Campgrounds near Clermont, FL

Spring is a great time to camp near Clermont, Florida, though you can set up year-round in this area. Magnolia Park Campground sits about 13 miles from town and has plenty of room between sites with good tree cover. Silver Springs State Park Campground puts you close to the Silver River with lots of greenery around. Many campers head to Rainbow Springs State Park Campground to cool off in the clear water when temperatures climb. All these places have basic needs covered with bathrooms and tables for meals. You shouldn't have trouble driving to most campgrounds on regular roads, but some spots might need trucks or SUVs after heavy rain. Some campsites feel more private than others, especially those surrounded by thick plants. Watch out for wildlife and store your food properly so animals don't come looking for a snack. The summer gets really hot and sticky, so bring plenty of water and sunscreen. When fall comes, the weather cools down enough to make hiking much more pleasant. Winter stays pretty mild, but bring some warm clothes for unexpected cold nights. Different campgrounds work better for different kinds of trips - some are quieter, others have more to do nearby. It's always smart to look up any closures before you go. The camping areas around Clermont have enough variety that most people can find something that fits what they want.
