Campgrounds near Inglis, Florida include a mix of developed RV parks, cabin accommodations, and limited tent camping options along the Gulf Coast and inland waterways. Facilities like Gulf Coast RV Resort and B's Marina & Campground offer full hookup sites for recreational vehicles, while several properties such as Encore Crystal Isles and Nature's Resort include cabin rentals. Most campgrounds in the area provide water and electric connections, with many offering sewer hookups as well. The region features multiple camping options along waterways including the Rainbow River, Crystal River, and Lake Rousseau, providing opportunities for boating and fishing.
Access to campgrounds remains consistent year-round as Florida's climate supports camping in all seasons. Most developed campgrounds in the area maintain paved or gravel roads suitable for large RVs, with several parks specifically advertising as big-rig friendly. "The park is centrally located to many of the attractions including Weeki Wachee, Silver Springs, Homosassa State Park and others," noted one camper about Quail Roost RV Park. Travelers should be aware that flooding can occasionally impact the region, as one reviewer mentioned experiencing a "50 year flood" during their stay, which limited access to surrounding areas. Reservation systems typically operate year-round, though availability may be more limited during winter months when seasonal visitors are more prevalent.
Waterfront camping represents a significant draw for the Inglis area, with multiple RV parks and campgrounds offering river or gulf access. 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. One review highlighted that B's Marina & Campground is "2.5 scenic miles from the gulf. If you have a boat, this place is perfect." 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.

GuideLake Griffin State Park Campground
This was the first park we stayed in once we got our new camper. I have an old truck that has not pulled something like this before so we wanted to be somewhat close to home. The park staff were great, the facilities were great. It is a smaller park, and close to the road. It didn’t bother us, but I imagine it could bother a tent camper. There was a family reunion or something going on the weekend we were there so it was packed and a little noisy outside of the camper. But everyone was very nice. There are some shorter hikes and the second oldest live oak in the state. I think if we had not forgotten our life vests at home I would have more to say about the paddling option, but you can also fish. We would go back.

LegendCountryside RV Park
Wild West Meets Old Florida
This Old Florida location has a Western bent to the place with the covered wagon motif and ranch-styled main office with what looks to be a horse tie up on the porch, so whatever the theme might be, this RV enclave is a good stretch away from the I75 highway that you moseyed onto in to find this 55+ retirement one lane (OK, there’s a simple loop) cowboy retirement OK corral. You’ll access Countryside RV Park via Country Rd 489 just off of Route 470 and if you blink (you know, because of all that dust blowing off the prairie), you’d miss the turn-off, so keep your eyes peeled, pardner, and about 20 yards into the property, you’ll swing by the office on what looks to be freshly laid, small single vehicle lanes and check in with the sheriff (er, the RV manager), who will direct you to your humble piece of very flat land, which no doubt will be draped in shade provided by the scattered ancient and live oaks that are sweating Spanish moss creating a very (trust me) un-wild, wild west vibe.
There’s some basic amenities here in addition to the standard pull-through parking pads and FHUs offering 20 / 30 / 50 amp electric, water and sewage, including: sanitary dump, impeccably clean his / her restrooms and shower facilities, picnic tables, WiFi, cable TV, coin-operated laundry, horseshoes, side X side shuffle boards that are in pristine condition, recreation room with billiards, dog park, fire pit, retention pond, on-site storage, exercise equipment and gym. There’s even a proper mail room in case you plan on staying long enough that you need to receive mail here or have it forwarded (beats waiting for the Pony Express to arrive). Due to this being a semi- or full-retirement zone, Countryside offers additional diversions and activities like bingo, Karaoke, bowling, arts & crafts as well as Bible study, in addition to learning how to lasso your very own steer (OK, I made up this last one).
Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) If your ID or social security card doesn’t clearly state that you are 55+ you won’t have any luck at this hideout; (2) If you do manage to stay here, IMHO the best spots are those either on the western - but of course - side of this depot (#6 – 22) or eastern (#46–#59) perimeters; (3) Should you need to load up on anything while here, there’s not much nearby apart from a Dollar General and Kal’s Food Grocery, but if you don’t mind driving slightly further afield, there’s a Publix NE of here and a Winn-Dixie and Walmart due south of here towards Bushnell; and (4) In the event that you’d like to grab some local grub, there’s Big Apple Café and a Subway nearby in the small town here, or up on Lake Panasoffkee there’s Big Bass Grill Lakefront Restaurant & Marina, which I highly recommend.
Happy Camping!

Roads are rough, Bathrooms are clean, host seemed like a good guy. Here during off season but the beach looked like fun
Stacey R.GuideSilver Springs State Park Campground
All amenities on site
Sites have full hookups which is awesome for a state park. Also picnic tables, grills and a fire pit. The sites are big and relatively private. To visit the spring you can hike or drive. Being you camping receipt to get in free. Glass bottom boat tour is $15 for adults but there is a nice walking path and you can see manatees in the spring from the shore. The restaurant was nice, good pizza!

Chassahowitzka River Campground
Great location, professionally managed, shady Old Florida
This is an excellent, quiet campground conveniently near the Chassahowitzka River Boat Ramp. It's incredibly cool and shady, so valuable in Florida. Sites are level and trees well trimmed. As newer RVers, I'd point to spots 13, 14, 15, 18, 19, and 20 as among the easiest back-in spots, as you can utilize the turn of the driveway to get straightened up better. All of these spots also are shady and private. The campground was quiet on the weekend we visited, but during high season, sites 19, 20 and 48 (pull through) are among those offering the most privacy from neighbors.
Regarding the boat ramp access: take note, the ramp is easily accessible from the campground but not "walking distance" if you are carrying a kayak. You will either need to drive your boat(s) down or rent. Parking fee is $5 vehicle only/$7 vehicle plus boat trailer, and you can access the spot before business hours and pay the fee in cash in the Honor System box on the side of the boat house. The Chassahowitzka is a gorgeous, spring-fed, clear-water river, a true gem in Florida, and just gorgeous for observing fish and birds. The place gets busy on weekends, so arrive early.
We loved our stay and this camp is on our "must return" list!

Silver Springs State Park Campground
Enjoyed it
Great little spot, easy access to silver springs. Glass boat tour was cool - just the right amount of cruising time before little ones breaking points! Ice cream afterwards of course and good local pizza joint.

Santos Trailhead & Campground
We are so thankful we found this Trailhead and Campground.
We had an awesome time here. The camp hosts were very helpful, professional, and friendly. The bathrooms and showers were exceptional and clean. If someone moved out, within 30 minutes there was someone checking their site for anything they may have left behind. The only complaint I have, is the other campers that let their dogs do their business and not pick it up. This is not a negative against the campground and their employees.
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.
