"This is actually more of a resort than a campground...... pool, hottub, perfect bathrooms and laundry room. A small channel that runs to the crystal river.... AMAZING BEACH just a few miles away."
"This is a pleasant RV park close to the Crystal River where Manatees can be seen and enjoyed.
The no see um bugs can be overwhelming though! A great park overall though."
"Close to town, mostly long term RV tenants live here, very friendly staff, very clean restrooms/showers/campground, restaurant/tiki bar on site, fishing available, shared outdoor cooking area and **fire **"
"Upon arrival the staff at check didn’t have that welcoming vibe. But all the grounds staff were friendly. The bathroom was very clean. The grounds have beautiful flowers well manicured."

"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."

"Silver Springs Silver Springs SP Beautiful Florida campground with 60 sites, many pullthrus. The sites are huge with lots of space and privacy. Lush surroundings."
"The spaces were relatively private, and the bathrooms were neat and tidy and there was water and trash on site. We tent camped and after enjoying the springs we went and had dinner 5 minutes away!"
TravelerBest site around. Outdoor kitchen and shower both with hot water! Flush toilets. Adorable tiny cabin rental is available. Social distancing is being practiced. Creativity is bounding. Artists and musicians are highly encouraged to visit. You'll wish you came sooner.
TravelerThis is an excellent place to camp because it is secluded with large private campsites surrounding a clear swimming hole. It is a short drive from the Chaz, and affordable. The hosts were extra friendly. Downside is no pets or alcohol, and weird gloomy roar of airboats or some other loud engine after dark nearby. We also camped next to someone who was blasting country music and speaking loudly well past midnight, but that is a risk of campground camping, bring earplugs.
LegendSilver Springs Silver Springs SP Beautiful Florida campground with 60 sites, many pullthrus. The sites are huge with lots of space and privacy. Lush surroundings. Water, electricity, fire pit, grill and picnic table on level gravel sites. The bathhouse is modern, clean, good sized. They have family showers too. Nice laundry facility. There is an environmental museum and a Pioneer Village and the grounds. Campgrounds are next to the Silver Springs where you have to take the glass bottom boat tour.$10 pp for seniors. You can also kayak the Springs but watch out for gators!The grounds on the Springs and campground have great trails.
ScoutFound this beautiful quiet little resort while taking an airboat tour. The owners are simply amazing. They went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect for our stay. The cabins are some of the nicest and cleanest we have ever staid in. High quality furniture, beds/bedding, and amenities. They have multiple fire pits, a beautiful pool, and great food truck on site. Also they have a boat to rent and great fishing all over the lake. Literally can’t say anything negative about this place. Food was terrific, hospitality was on another level, and over all just perfect!
GuideClose to town, mostly long term RV tenants live here, very friendly staff, very clean restrooms/showers/campground, restaurant/tiki bar on site, fishing available, shared outdoor cooking area and fire pit, recreation room, pool, parrots, quiet and laid back, more for older folks (no offense)
LegendWow... a few miles from home and one I will visit often! This lovely county run park you will find at the end of a 15 min drive down a back country road. There is so much to see and do here. The campsites are well shaded. (unless grounds were full when you reserved and you took option to camp in adjoining astronomy field). I would have rated a 5+ except that there is only 1 small bathhouse in campground. There are other bathrooms on property though. Staff on phone are not overly friendly - but do not let that dissuade you from booking a spot here!
There are multiple tent camping sites dispersed on property and 1 primitive site that you have to hike into. The group site is very popular with local scouts! The RV/Tent sites are roomy and not too close together - but not very private either. There is a dump station onsite
Next to campground you will find a historic church, a large and small cabin available for rent, 2 playgrounds, shelters, large pavilion with grill/fire pit, fishing dock, canoe launch, paved bike trail hiking trails and an observation tower. On new moon nights the local astronomy club uses neighboring field to gaze at the stars. This place is quiet and dark at night!
Wildlife did not seem to be a problem at camp (but we are very careful with trash). There are lots of birds, deer and fishing was good on the river.
You might have to compete with us for a reservation here - we will be back!
GuideThis is actually more of a resort than a campground...... pool, hottub, perfect bathrooms and laundry room. A small channel that runs to the crystal river.... AMAZING BEACH just a few miles away. Little outdoor food truck right down the road with the most amazing shrimp tacos ever!!!! Really can't ask for more. Just under $90 a night
LegendPart of the Starkey Wilderness Preservethis location is full of multi use trails, has primitive cabin rentals (no electric) and tent camping available. Front country (car camping) and back country camping (hike in only). There are specific equestrian camping sites as well.
Cabins are pretty close to each other. All sites need to be reserved.Tent, cabin, shelter and pavilion reservations: Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park, (727) 834-3247. Picnic tables and fire pits are provided. Pavilions are also available to rent and they take reservations for large groups as well.
We chose car camping for our visit to check the place out. A favorite for hiking and biking. This place has gotten busier as development has been growing steadily over the years. Many of the trails are without shade and the recent fire season hit the back part of the tract pretty hard (Spring 2017) but you would not see any signs of this unless you hiked out the furthest trails from entrance.
Bring your bikes, hiking shoes, horses, or telescopes. Birders bring your binoculars! Over 150 species call Starkey home either full or part time. There is something here for everyone.
As always in Florida bring bug spray, sunblock, hat, and please leave no trace!
GuideThe place is great, full hookups, bathrooms, showers, pool, hottub, tennis, lots of kids stuff.
It seems like most campers live here full time.
There was a group of obnoxiously loud campers in the hottub drinking and smoking in it with music blaring across the campground... Kinda ruined the nature experience more than the rain did :) We paid 60.
The sites have fire pits and tables.
