GuideShady Oaks RV & Mobile Home Park
Very friendly and welcoming
This is a MH and RV Park. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. They have a pub on site for resident’s serving beer and wine along with pool tables. A nice touch while enjoying the newly redone pool and cabana. There is a window at the pool to order drinks. Park is family run so they are on site constantly to provide assistance when needed. Beer and wine prices are amazingly cheap. Draft beer is $2.50. We had a beer and two wine spritzers and the total was $9.00. The RV lots offer full hookup. Most are a simple grassy area. There is a new DG Market a three minute walk from the park. No roads to cross so it is extremely convenient. The bath house was dated although very clean. There are two showers each in the men and women’s. There is a 8’ wide paved bicycle trail that runs along the park property line. I was told it stretches for over twenty miles. We only road a short distance.

First tryout of our RV
Checked in Tuesday at the specified time 3 o’clock, hit our billing with directed to our site, which is very close to the office. Unit has a pool and pool tables (2) with a bar which serves beer and wine. There is a clubhouse and propane and wood for fires pull through spot was very adequate with electrical 30 and 50 amp water and drain for black water. Probably the only negative that we have found so far is you’re getting a little bit of noise at night from 19 and if you park close to the clubhouse people coming in and out in the evening are a little loud.

Old Florida RV Resort and Marina
Tremendous place to camp
Great environment, a lot of marine activity in the water and boat rental was super fun.
Robert F.GuideWinter Paradise RV Resort
Good for a couple of days.
Stayed here for about a week. They have a heated pool, laundry room, billarads, shuffle board and a meeting room. Like all RV parks. Be discerning of some of the people. But some people were very kind.

LegendShell Mound Campground
First-Come Simplicity on the Gulf’s Edge
There’s something deeply grounding about arriving at Shell Mound Campground, where the road narrows, the salt air thickens and you realize you’ve traded polish for authenticity in one of the last truly 'Old Florida' camping outposts near Cedar Key. Set within a protected coastal landscape of tidal creeks, marsh grass and shaded scrub, this small public campground offers a mix of primitive tent camping and basic RV sites with dirt and grass pads, minimal infrastructure and a refreshing absence of crowds or commercial gloss. Amenities are simple and purposeful with vault restrooms, picnic tables, fire rings, a boat ramp and short nature trails. But beware: everything here operates on a strict first-come, first-served basis, which is both its biggest charm and its biggest gamble, meaning early arrival is key if you want your pick of sites. One quiet evening, the boys helped us carry the canoe down to the water’s edge, laughing as fiddler crabs scattered and osprey hovered overhead, and later we fell asleep to the rhythmic sounds of the marsh rather than generators or highway noise. From what we saw, the best sites are those closer to the water, offering better breezes, easier kayak launching and beautiful sunrise views across the estuary, while inland sites feel a bit more tucked away but still peaceful. We’d recommend Shell Mound for families and campers who value solitude, wildlife and affordability, are comfortable with rustic conditions and don’t mind planning around a first-come system in exchange for a genuinely quiet, nature-forward experience that feels worlds away from resort-style camping.

TravelerCypress Glen Campground
Sites were ok
Stayed in sites 52 and 38. Both sites were rock and unlevel. Pets are allowed on leash. Nothing much for kids to do but my kids enjoyed walking the campground loop and walking the trails. The lake was nice but it was during the cold snap that we were there so lake activities were a bust. The bathhouse was clean and pretty accessible from the 2 sites, but theres no heat in there so it made after showers a bit miserable, but not bad. Dont expect good phone signal. We setup starlink and was good from that. There is a dump station on the way out, near the entrance, with 2 lanes
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.

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.
