Campers frequently mention fishing, boating, and manatee viewing as primary activities. Several visitors specifically noted the proximity to water as a deciding factor in their camping choices.

Campground amenities vary considerably across properties, with most offering basic facilities such as restrooms and trash collection, while higher-rated locations provide additional features like swimming pools, clubhouses, and organized activities. Review data suggests many campgrounds in the region host a mix of short-term campers and long-term or seasonal residents, creating varied camping experiences depending on the selected property.

    Mutual Mine Campground — Withlacoochee State Forest

    Small quiet campground

    The campground was very nice. Sites were spacious and campground was well maintained. Restrooms were very nice and had private shower in each bathroom. Only downside is a bit of road noise but wasn’t enough to make a huge difference. Lots of trails and points of interest around the area.Very nice campground

    Fore Lake Campground

    Worth the visit.

    Nice little campsite. Reasonable rate. Cars, Vans, Truck Camper, Tents, all allowed in all the sites. So there isn't just a "tent" sites.

    Campsite 5. Tmobile. Good service. I didn't even need my router to stream. Bear Aware area.

    Host very nice and helpful. There is hot water, but baths need update.

    Whimcycle Trail Resort At Santos

    Great Commimication, Large Sites

    Beth was super responsive to questions I had before arrival. Easy access to large, flat, dirt/grass sites with hookups. I usually stay at Santos State Park nearby for lower cost, but this was available with less notice and a pleasant surprise. No Verizon service, so bring Starlink or AT&T. Will def consider WhimCycle again.

    Cedar Key RV Resort

    Glitz RV Camping by the Gulf

    If Cedar Blessings (the other RV resort across the street) feels like staying with family, Cedar Key RV Resort feels like checking into a coastal boutique resort that just happens to welcome RVs, sitting directly across the road and making the contrast immediately clear the moment you pull in. This is a well-planned, modern RV resort with paved roads, manicured landscaping, tidy concrete pads and a noticeable emphasis on presentation, from the entrance signage to the neatly spaced sites that feel intentional and polished. Amenities lean firmly into the resort category, with a sparkling pool, clubhouse and communal spaces like fully functional kitchen, living room w/ TV and an endless lineup of books, board games and DVDs all designed for socializing rather than solitude, making it especially appealing for snowbirds and longer-stay guests who enjoy a bit of buzz and structure. One evening, after a full day of salty air and sightseeing, we let the boys run laps around the pool deck while we sat back watching the sun melt into the Gulf, the kind of low-stress moment that reminds you why amenities matter when traveling as a family. From what we saw, the best sites are those closer to the interior of the resort, where you’re a short walk to the pool and clubhouse but buffered from any road noise. We recommend Cedar Key RV Resort for families and couples who enjoy a more upscale, social camping experience with creature comforts front and center, and who don’t mind trading a little rustic charm for convenience, polish, and that unmistakable resort feel.

    The Griffin Ranch

    Old-Florida Charm Meets Ranch-Life Calm

    Arriving to Griffin Ranch just outside Fort McCoy feels like stepping into a page of classic Florida history, where 30+ acres of shaded woods, ponds, pastures and trails invite you to slow down long before you ever unpack your bags. The ranch’s cabins, Airstream camper and cottage rentals, each with antique-inspired interiors, set the tone for a timeless, unhurried stay. The accommodations are rustic in the very best way: solidly built, thoughtfully equipped spaces that feel cozy rather than pretentious, and the hosts are genuinely welcoming, making you feel like part of the ranch family rather than just a guest. During our visit, we watched the kids wander out toward the pasture at sunset, chasing fireflies and laughing at the horses’ gentle nickers, while the sun dipped behind the trees in that golden light only old pastures seem to have. While this isn’t a ‘back-to-barebones’ campground in the primitive sense, it is more of a cabin-centric ranch stay than a full-service campground, so if you’re coming with a big RV or tent setup in mind, you’ll want to book one of the on-site cabins instead of relying on typical campsites. The best lodging options are the cabins tucked deeper into the woods or near the ponds, which offer the most serenity and EZ access to the ranch trails and wildlife watching. Nearby you can easily stock up on supplies in Fort McCoy or make short drives to local eats like Rocco’s Italian or a long list of options in nearby Gainesville.  Also, the closeness to Ocala National Forest and Silver Springs makes this a great base for exploration. We’d recommend Griffin Ranch for families who appreciate quiet evenings under ancient oaks, authentic old-Florida ranch character, space for kids and pets to run wild and host hospitality that turns a simple stay into lasting memories. This place is one part history, one part nature retreat and entirely welcoming.

    Cypress Glen Campground

    Thanksgiving Week Family Camping

    This is a great campground for getting away and getting outdoors. The campground is very well kept and clean. It is very quiet and secluded. You can hear the hum of the interstate when outside, but it is not noticeable inside the camper. There are plenty of hiking trails and you can ride a bike for miles on the paved withlacoochee state trail which is accessible just across the street from the campground entrance. You also have access to silver lake as well as crooked river. Would highly recommend this campground.

Guide to Inglis

Camping near Inglis, Florida provides access to both Gulf Coast waters and inland waterways with crystal clear springs. River access points are common features at many campgrounds in the area, with the Homosassa, Withlacoochee, and Rainbow Rivers all within a short drive of Inglis. Winter temperatures typically stay between 50-70°F, making the region suitable for year-round camping.

What to do

Tubing on Rainbow River: Rainbow Springs State Park Campground offers tubing experiences down the crystal clear river. "Great time. Relaxing day tubing down the river," notes one visitor. Tubing season opens April 1st each year, so plan accordingly if this activity is on your list.

Kayaking with manatees: Nature's Resort in Homosassa connects directly to wildlife viewing opportunities. "We did a manatee tour and they picked us up right at the dock. This was helpful since we didn't have a car with us," explains one camper who enjoyed the convenience of on-site boat pickup.

Pontoon boat rentals: Encore Crystal Isles provides water access for boating enthusiasts. "Pontoon boat rentals. Close to Three Sisters Springs where you can kayak with the Manatees," shares one reviewer who found the location ideal for water activities.

What campers like

River proximity: B's Marina & Campground offers direct river access that campers value. "This campground is different than the rest. 2.5 scenic miles from the gulf. If you have a boat, this place is perfect," explains a visitor who appreciated the waterfront location.

Clean facilities: Rainbow Springs State Park Campground maintains well-kept grounds and amenities. "Bathrooms are two single stall/shower combos, but never too crowded. Campground is good for paddling," notes a tent camper who stayed in the walk-in sites.

Swimming options: Natural water features provide alternatives to typical pool amenities. "Beautiful 72° springfed river. Take a 4hour tube ride down a crystal clear spring fed river. Full of wildlife, fun, families, snorkeling," shares one visitor about Rainbow Springs.

What you should know

Seasonal popularity impacts availability: Competition for sites can be challenging during winter months. "Love this campground though it can be hard to get in between the snowbirds and tubing season," mentions one camper about Rainbow Springs State Park Campground.

Site placement considerations: Rock Crusher Canyon RV Park requires careful site selection. "When making reservations make sure to book towards the center of the park. We were in site 129A. The road noise was constant and loud," advises one camper who learned this through experience.

Weather impacts: Seasonal flooding can affect accessibility. "We came when the area was experiencing a 50 year flood, so access to most of the area was greatly hindered," reports a visitor to Lake Rousseau RV Park, highlighting the importance of checking conditions before arrival.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly amenities: Nature's Resort offers multiple family activities. "Lots to do for kids here. Facebook page for campground tells you what the little bar/restaurant is serving. We went for pizza night (frozen, but priced right and I didn't have to cook!)," shares a parent who appreciated the convenience.

Swimming and snorkeling opportunities: Rainbow Springs offers clear waters perfect for family water activities. "Full hookups. Great for kayaking, swimming and snorkeling! Kids have a lot of fun!" explains one family who enjoyed the natural water features.

Private site selection: Finding secluded spots can improve the family camping experience. "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)," suggests a camper who stayed at Rainbow Springs State Park.

Tips from RVers

Site spacing varies significantly: Gulf Coast RV Resort offers more comfortable spacing than some nearby alternatives. "This is a real gem of a place to stay. Very very quiet. The price is amazing. Sites are very level," notes an RVer who appreciated the park's layout and value.

Full hookup availability: Most Inglis area campgrounds provide complete services. "FHU, site mostly level, at entrance of the park. Lots of long term residents, everyone was pleasant! Nice dog park!" reports a camper who made a last-minute booking at Gulf Coast RV Resort.

Gate access planning: Some parks require entrance codes. "Make sure to have your gate code at the ready, the gate is unmanned, and it's right off the main road as soon as you turn in. There is only room for one Rv/travel trailer between the gate and the road," advises a visitor to Rainbow Springs State Park Campground.
