What campers like
Clean facilities: At Mutual Mine Campground, guests appreciate the maintenance standards. "Bathrooms are very clean. Right by the trails. We stay here every year. The pond seems clean enough for a swim," reports a regular visitor.
Water access: The clear swimming area at Mutual Mine provides relief during summer months. One camper notes, "It was a Family weekend for the books! Would absolutely recommend this campground, the watering hole helped us stay cool and the camp host was very informative and friendly."
Privacy between sites: Ross Prairie Campground offers well-spaced camping areas. A reviewer observed, "The positive is that the sites, especially around the outside loop, are spaced nicely and private. It's not a bad drive to Crystal River or Ocala. The bathroom, although not particularly convenient to the sites, is newly remodeled."
What you should know
Varied site quality: At Rock Crusher Canyon RV Park, location within the park matters significantly. "Great spot with amenities and close to everything we want to do. Just make sure you don't get a site along the road," advises one visitor, highlighting the importance of site selection.
Road noise considerations: Some campgrounds experience traffic sounds. At Ross Prairie, a camper notes, "The only negative is that it's not far from the road, you can hear the traffic and it's somewhat busy." Request sites furthest from roads when possible.
Security features: Some areas have controlled entry systems. "There is a gate code to get in which made me feel very safe and secure. Gorgeous trees throughout the sites and nice little paths to explore," reports a visitor about security measures in place.
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly amenities: Nature's Resort offers numerous family activities. One camper reports, "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!)"
Pool options: Crystal Isles RV Resort maintains both swimming pool and hot tub facilities. According to a visitor, "They have a great pool, hot tub, clubhouse area... Nearby to Crystal River, FL. Nearby there is an awesome rock beach, Manatees, and a walking path through wetlands."
On-site rentals: Transportation within larger properties makes exploration easier. At Nature Resort Campground, "You can rent golf carts to drive the whole thing. Pool area and a lot of kids play space as well. They have a restaurant in the premises and a bar as well."
Tips from RVers
Pull-through accessibility: At Goethe Trailhead Ranch Campground, cabin and RV sites offer level setup areas. "When we go camping we like our peace and quiet and let me tell you that's exactly what we got here. Grass lots were level. Full hook up was a huge plus," explains an RVer who appreciated the conveniences.
Site privacy considerations: Rock Crusher Canyon provides separated sites in a wooded setting. "I enjoyed a nice weekend stay here on the maiden voyage of our new-to-us Class A. 30 and 50 amp service, with water, sewer, and cable hook-ups. Sites vary in layout, but mostly back-in with plenty of space."
Payment logistics: Some campgrounds have specific payment procedures. At Goethe Trailhead Ranch, "One thing to remember is you can pay by mailing a check or paying cash on site," advises a visitor, highlighting the need to plan payment methods before arrival.
