    Awesome Harvest Host partner!

    We stayed one night on a grass spot with harvest host. While we did not “pay,” we were still treated as royalty. The entire team was amazing. The grass spit was up front by all of the amenities. The other lots are beautiful and further back. The pool is gorgeous. They have bikes that you check out with the bracelets, and the restaurant was top notch with live music.

    This is a beautiful large RV and golf resort. The grounds were clean and well maintained. There is a full 18 course golf course and putting green. There are also onsite golf cart rentals and a golf pro shop. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Bath houses were clean. Nice laundry facilities available. Campground is directly in Orange Lake with a dock available. Fishing permitted off dock and from shore. All roads were paved. There are both RVs and vacation rentals. Many things to do and lots of options for other recreation nearby. We came for spring break and would definitely visit again.

    Interesting place

    The office staff is very helpful and nice.

    The location itself is pretty remote and not close to many amenities. The sites are pretty difficult to get into based on the layout. I would not recommend this place to a newbie as it is nearly impossible to get into a lot of these sites without having nearby sites empty to use their space. I struggled even with the adjacent sites being empty. The sites are close together, but the staff does a good job spreading out their reservations. We booked a riverview site, but there is a good amount of marsh between our site and the river, so the view is not that impressive. The single digit sites have a better river view than double digits. The site is pretty level, and I do like that it is rock/gravel and not dirt. The hookups are at the front of the site, which requires you to have an additional 25 feet of hose and power. The staff does warn you prior to arrival of this, so we were well prepared. Wifi is good within the campground, but I couldn't get the cable to work. There is a boat slip and boat rentals available on-site. There is also a pool and hot tub ( the hot tub was not functional during our visit). Good amount of shade within the entire campground, which is nice in the summer months. Depending on what you are looking for, this campground may or may not be for you.

    Amazing kayaking & trails

    Campground is basic, very few sewer spots but there is a dump station. Big rig friendly, several pull thru spots, easy paved entry, gravel sites, I think all are 50/30. Plenty of space between sites. Clean bathroom, washer/dryer, soda machine. Very dark at night which I love. No lights except the bath house. Dog poo bag stations. Very friendly staff (Melinda & John, camp hosts were amazing) 1 mile from amazing kayaking. Great, woodsy hiking trails. Maybe 3 miles to Publix/Wawa.

    Be prepared for cramped buddy sites

    Site# 54 Check in: 1pm Check out: 11am Full hook- up Easy to level Gravel back-in (Most, if not all sites are Buddy sites - so be prepared to face a neighbor you do not know. -We were literally looking at each other for ten weeks - with us having two dogs and neighbors having three dogs-complete bark fest). We were so close our awnings would not go out all the way or we would touch.

    Lot is Shaded with lots of trees. Not a big lot since you have to share space with your neighbor

    • No concrete patio - no picnic table but had a fire ring

    Located in the middle of nowhere- Dollar General is four miles away and Walmart is 11 miles (doesn’t seem far but on all back roads, it takes a while) Closest highway (75) is 45 miles away & I-90 is an hour

    Zero WiFi or Zero cell service (1 tiny bar but not enough to do a basic internet search) - once we purchased Starlink ($599), we were able to stream. No Cable TV- limited channels No Outdoor kitchen No Outdoor community sinks to clean big pots

    They do not pickup garbage at site daily, Must walk to garbage dumpster - not too far

    Allowed to ride personal golf carts Not Able to rent golf carts or pedal bikes from them Golf cart not really needed- smaller campground Indoor heated Swimming pool Natural Spring within park but due to rain & flooding of the Suwannee River over the ten weeks we were there, we were unable to access the spring or experience kayaking or the few amenities of the park. Very disappointing.
    Had a Playground No Bocce ball, shuffleboard, There was basketball court and volleyball court.

    Good general store with basics No Activity Center for kids Unsure if there are activities for kids (there were not from January-March). There is not a snack bar/restaurant . Not a Game room, putt putt, or jumping pad for kids No Workout room

    Streets are gravel/sand -not great for riding bikes in campground Great places to ride bikes outside of campground (not near this campground) though- look for Nature Coast State Trail

    Lots of cabin and tent space Individual bathrooms with own sink, shower, toilet & clean

    Laundry machines (one washer & one dryer) per bathhouse- only two bath houses

    Dog area - not fenced in - they have a huge field behind the campground that they keep the outside mowed & is a great place to walk dogs

    There were not bugs/flies initially but as it has started warming up, it has slowly gotten worse

    There were trails to hike off of the campground.

    The most disappointing aspect is that they were selling presidential hats in the general store. One - politics and recreation don’t go together and two- if you’re going to sell one candidate but not the other, you’re a biased business

    Beautiful campground

    Loved this campground. We had sites 22 & 24. Site 22 has lots of sun; site 24 was full shade all day. I thought site 20 was the best. All campsites are very roomy. Bring your paddleboard or kayak. We drove to Silver Springs park and put in. Lazy river ride for 2 miles where we got out at the River trail. If you do this, bring your kayak wheels as it is a 1 mile walk back to the campground (or 1/2 mile to the River Trail trailhead). Then went to pick up truck where we started. Highly recommend this campground. There are also lots of trails to hike, but it was so hot when we were there we did not do any but the river trail.

    Nice RV park especially for extended stays

    Arrived after hours, and a welcome packet was waiting for us. FHU, corner site with gravel and shade. Saw lots of birds and bunnies. We were in town to visit family. Lots of full timers, but they were all friendly. Didn’t have our dog with us, but lots of dogs at this park. Pool looked amazing big and screened, but didn’t use. Lots of local attractions, restaurants, and shops. Many Kayak launch areas at Crystal River Parks, however we did a tour guide with a clear kayak rental. Get Up and Go Kayak, approx $160 for few hours, great experience and a beautiful area to sightsee. Laid back community and somewhat artsy!

    Rv park in a Good location~great pool !

    FHU, gravel site. The sites Very close together and guests pull in all around your site and park their boats, cars, trucks, golf carts. Luckily, we only stayed a weekend. Lots of full time residents. The dog park is big, Pool house, jacuzzi and pool are large and clean. There were activities planned for the kids which was fun! There are tennis courts, which we didn’t use. The playground has many different play areas and was tidy. There are lots of area attractions and a beach with a designated swimming area at the end of the road. If we had come off season, it would have been great. The swing and pond, behind our RV, was a nice touch for our puppy and granddaughter.

    Great Park, but mind the ticks!

    This is the second time that we've been back to the state park and we love it more every time. Bath houses are clean, lots of wooded spaces, plenty of trails for biking or hiking. Appreciated the history of the old town which is within walking distance of the campsites. We also enjoyed the geological mystery of a river vanishing before our eyes!

    There are signs at the bathhouse about ticks. Take heed of them! I am sure we are in the height of season, but it was really bad if you went on any of the trails. Thankful the dog is on tick meds!

    We cycled from OLeno to Ichetukee Springs. 30 miles round trip! Next time we will leave early, bring swim gear and enjoy a float trip in that area.

    Silver Springs State Park Campground

    Amazing Place

    This campground is nice the sites are nice sized and level. The campground is not located at the head springs where the glass bottom boats are and kayak rentals. This makes it even better. The campground is quiet. It's a 15 minute drive to the head springs. 

    We had our own Kayaks so we put in at the head springs and paddled down to the campground. It's a 2 to 2 1/2 hour trip or more because of all the beautiful landscape and the wildlife. At the campground exit to get out of the river you have to have wheels to transport the kayaks back to the parking lot. It's about a 1 mile hike pulling the kayak.

    You can also do a longer trip an paddle further to Rays Wayside. It's less busy paddling that part of the river. You will need to leave a vehicle parked at Rays Wayside to get back to the headsprings. There is a company for $10 per person that will pick you up there and brings you back. Silver Springs charges $55 per person. 

    I was in site 53 and there are trails you can hike from behind many of the campsites. There is a cracker house village and a great museum with artifacts and giant skeletons of big creatures. Lots of fossils and arrowheads. The Museum is only open on weekends.

    The bath houses are very clean and if cold out nice hot heaters. There is a washer and dryer at the bath houses too.

    They sell firewood and ice at the campground. You use a QR code scanner to purchase it. The wood is nice and burns like wood should.

    I went to Silver springs as a kid and always thought of it as a tourist trap. I never had a desire to camp there yet I will say I have changed my mind and have already booked for next year. 

    Florida residents have a one month booking advantage which started this past January. If your a Florida senior resident you get 1/2 off the price. The campsite hang tag gets you into the headspring for free. 

    The park is nice I will visit again.

    Rainbow Springs State Park

    Good for paddling

    If you’re tent camping in the tent-only walk-in sites, site 60 is definitely the most private (farthest from the lot but still a short walk in on a paved path). Bathrooms are two single stall/shower combos, but never too crowded. Campground is good for paddling, especially for renting from the concessions (they have single and tandem kayaks, SUP, and canoes). It’s a drive and a separate entrance to get to the head springs area of the park, though there is a small roped off swim area by the boat ramp. We went before tubing opens (April 1 each year), so the Rainbow was less crowded and stunningly clear and emerald.

    Peaceful, quiet, and clean

    We stayed at site 6 for two nights Saturday and Sunday night. The campground was quiet, facilities were super clean, and the sites were large. We were under a big beautiful oak tree. The campground backs right up to the bike trails that we definitely made good use of. And we were minutes from Silver springs, if you have an opportunity it was a great place to visit for a glass boat tour! I think if I had to pick one downside is maybe that there was no WiFi and limited cell service, but then again it was nice to disconnect for a few days. All and all we had a great visit and will definitely be staying again!

    Beware, their cancelation policy is very unique and unfair. They will keep all your money then book the site again. They should rename their park“Double Dip RV Rip Off”.

    Great location to access Santos Trails! Expensive for limited services.

    The WhimCycle Trail campground location is PERFECT for accessing the Santos biking and hiking trails! It was our first visit and we LOVED it! The trails are well maintained, plenty of variety, quiet and we felt immersed in nature. 

    The campground has very large spaces for RV's. In fact, they are so large that we had to park our small Sprinter van in the grass, off the gravel pad, in order to reach the electric and water. We camped 3 nights on sites #6 and#7 on the west side of the loop. We loved the afternoon shade from the giant oak trees and being backed up to the forest allowed some privacy. The single outdoor shower was right behind our sites, which was great, as we did use it. But if someone else would have wanted to use the shower while we were sitting at our campfire, it would have been a bit uncomfortable for both parties! 

    We were disappointed that the“bath house” wasn’t functional yet and we had to use a single port-a-potty. But it was relatively clean and they did provide a hand washing station.  There is no Wi-Fi service provided and our Verizon cell signal was extremely weak. 

    Our biggest gripe is that we paid an extra $20 as a“site lock” fee because we wanted to be sure to have an adjacent site with our friends (we made reservations 1 month in advance). As it turned out, the campground was less than 20% occupied the entire 3 days we were there, so the fee was definitely not necessary. I really think that if a campground allows me to choose a site during reservation and I pre-pay in full, then the site should be confirmed without any extra fees. 

    That being said, we will definitely return to stay at WhimCycle Trail! It was peaceful, beautiful, clean and we had a blast on the biking trails!

    Lovely place

    Stayed here for 2 nights. A little pricey at $55/night but had some unique amenities. Water, electric, and sewer all great. Very clean, well manicured sites, mostly shady. Park was landscaped beautifully, felt like an old Florida lodge. Staff very friendly and stayed out of site. Offered free kayak usage, and airboat rentals. The Wi-Fi was the best I’ve ever had at any camping park. I got 2-3 bars of Consumer Cellular. Great little pub on site..had one of the best burgers and fries ever! It’s popular with locals but never got loud or rowdy. Felt very safe.
