We love the Grateful Hammock
Best 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.

Loud engine noises but otherwise secluded
This 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.

Spacious serenity
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. 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.

Amazing little gem!
Found 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!

Encore Crystal Isles
Really nice place, obnoxious campers
The 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.

Packed In
If someone were to read my past reviews of other campgrounds one might think I’d never found one I didn’t like. Until now that would be true. This campground is a full-time and appears long-term residence for many and as a result has very little feeling of getting away from sprawl. Our site A-20 was one of the hardest back-ins I’ve yet experienced and it had everything to do with how close adjacent sites were. It’s a shame because it’s location on a tributary of the Homosassa river is prime but it’s just too many people. The amenities pool, laundry, bathhouse, on-site bar& grill are all nice but not really something we look for when camping. They offer pontoon boats for rental which we did only to discover we wouldn’t be allowed to take it anywhere near the Gulf of Mexico where the best fishing can be found. Boat ran fine but the motor was the only part that wasn’t long overdue for retirement. All in all the whole experience has turned me off to one of my all time favorite parts of Florida. As for the long-term residents, I understand the attraction of a permanent home on wheels and a safe place to park it. What I can’t tolerate is the flying of Confederate flags, Trump No More Bullsh*t flags it’s just impolite and I think would be bad for business. To each his own but we will not go back or recommend it.

Great FL State Park campground
We stayed here over the winter and we were pleasantly surprised! 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! This is a great spot because you feel secluded but you can run to a lot of nice restaurants and grab groceries nearby! We will be back.

Mutual Mine Campground — 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 :)
