GuideSites 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!
ScoutI organized a group camping weekend here October 2 to 4, 2026. My group booked and paid for more than a dozen campsites and approximately 40 people, all next to each other, so the people around my site were my own friends. On Saturday afternoon we were sitting in our chairs when a security officer walked up and demanded that I lower my music. Nobody refused. I was turning it down as I explained that the music was for my whole group and that the neighbors around us were all our people. I also asked who had complained. Instead of answering, he snapped,"You do what I said and turn the music down." I told him I already had. With no attempt to calm things down, he shouted that we were out of there and had 30 minutes to pack up and leave. Nobody in my group raised a voice or got hostile. We were polite and we complied, and we were still treated like criminals. When we went to the front desk to report how he had behaved, the clerk made it clear that our whole group was the issue and that they were watching us and that I had to leave. That told me this was never about one speaker or lowering the music. We were singled out while other groups were left alone. I even heard from others that were allowed to stay, that they heard Spanish music blasting at 1am AFTER QUIET HOURS! So, why were we kicked out? Discrimination! No refund was offered. They kept our money for a stay they cut short. We have held several events here over the years, about 8 visits in the last three years. There will be ZERO in the future. The springs are beautiful, but the way security and the front desk treat paying guests is not. My group is taking our events and our money somewhere else!
ScoutExercise caution with this reservation. The website says pet friendly but only after you reserve the site do they make you aware of pet size limit and breed restrictions. And your reservation is not refundable.
GuideSpent two nights here again. Sept. 27th and 28th. During the day time there were a lot of Love Bugs. My camping kitty loved chasing them. At night or at sun down I was bombarded with bugs. Even if I tried to attract them to a higher light and I was in the dark, didn't help. So this time of the year, sunset = go inside.
Also, the description above is wrong.
This dispersed camping area within Ocala National Forest DOES NOT provide water hookups, restrooms, and picnic tables along with standard amenities like trash service and campfire permissions.
The campground DOES NOT maintain water availability throughout the site and DOES NOT HAVE ANY clean restroom facilities.
Other than that, I will be back.
GuideSpent two nights here again. September 27th and 28th. This is a great dispersed camping area. You only need to know your limits with soft sand. During the day there were a lot of love bugs and the water was great. As soon as the sun sets, at this time of the year the bugs were terrible. Even if you tried to attract them up in the air with a Devos light you will be bombarded. Sunset = go inside. Other than the night time bugs, it's a great place. I will be back.
GuideGreat 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.
ScoutWe 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.
TravelerOak tree is more of a trailer park home opposed to being a campsite but there are people who live in tents on the property
ScoutI love this campground very clean and has nice big sites.

Buffalo, deer, eagles, alligators, owls....Visit Sweetwater," notes Jenn B. from Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park Campground.
Kayaking Rainbow River: Located about 45 minutes west of Reddick, this spring-fed river maintains a constant 72°F year-round. "Full hookups. Great for kayaking, swimming and snorkeling! Kids have a lot of fun!" explains Brenda S. Another visitor adds, "We rented kayaks for a reasonable price. The Rainbow River flows south. The location where we started was south on the river about 4-5 miles from Rainbow Springs."
Mountain biking at Santos: These internationally-known trails offer riding options for all skill levels 35 minutes south of Reddick. "Great access to trails," says Katrina about Santos Trailhead & Campground. Another visitor adds detail: "Although in a populated area of Ocala, this campground is positioned in the trees and makes you feel like you are miles from civilization. Easy access to all the mountain bike trails, the paved Greenway trail, and the Florida Trail."
Clear springs for swimming: The region's springs provide natural swimming opportunities with consistent water temperatures. A visitor to Rainbow Springs State Park Campground reports: "The campground is ok - nice wooded sites, but not as much privacy between sites as we have been spoiled by in other FL state parks. We did one of the only trails you can take your dog on (the Lake Trail) and drove over to the ecopassage observation boardwalk site."
Lakefront camping locations: Several campsites near Reddick provide direct lake access. "This campground is mostly seasonal campers but we didn't feel out of place. The sites were big and paved. The pool was refreshing and the restaurant was delicious with water views," notes Michelle C. from Grand Lake RV & Golf Resort.
Historic towns nearby: Camping in the Reddick area offers access to several historic communities. "The park is in a great area. Mcintosh and Micanopy are historical towns with great walk, and bike ability. Right in Orange Lake you can kayak. They have rentals for 10.00," writes Rebecca H. about Sportsman's Cove Resort.
Train noise affects some campgrounds: Certain camping areas experience significant railroad noise. One camper at Santos notes: "Nice campground. Not very shady at all. If you love to use awesome bike trails, this is the place! Extremely noisy with trains running through all night, of course, blowing their whistles!"
Reservations essential during winter: From November through March, advance booking becomes critical as snowbirds fill many campgrounds. "It's challenging to get a reservation for the campgrounds but worth it if you can," explains Issa F. about Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park Campground.
Hot, buggy summers: Summer camping requires preparation for heat and insects. "Hot with skeeters the majority of the year, cold overnight in the winter. All kinds of little critters in the woods and access to hikes and many gators," notes Dan X. about Paynes Prairie.
Glass-bottom boat tours: These provide a unique way to see underwater features without getting wet. "Just a beautiful state park, with that old Florida feel. The glass bottom boat tour is an absolute must, we had such a wonderful time and the boat captain had lots of interesting information. We have a 4 year old and a 10 year old and they both really enjoyed the boat tour also," shares Carlos R. from Silver Springs State Park Campground.
Campgrounds with pools: Several camping areas offer swimming pools as alternatives to natural water features. A visitor to Wild Frontier RV Resort shares: "Perfect for a 1 night stop. It's definitely catered more to the Senior crowd. Everyone was very welcoming. Our kids enjoyed the exceptionally clean pool. And the bathrooms were spotless."
Ranger-led activities: These educational programs engage children while teaching about local ecology. "We did the Ranger led hike which was really nice, my 5 year old struggled to keep up with the Ranger and there are decent elevation changes," notes Lindsey H. about Paynes Prairie.
Gate access challenges: Some campgrounds have restricted entrance times or codes. "We were met at the entrance by a gentleman in a golf cart. He brought us directly to our site, and helped us get squared away. He recommended the local restaurant for dinner," shares Clayton D. about Grand Lake.
Water pressure considerations: High water pressure can damage RV plumbing without regulators. One RVer at Wild Frontier notes: "Water pressure is very high so have a water regulator. We had to turn it down from 60+ lbs to around 20 flow and 40 no flow pressure. Power is stable."
Site surface variations: Understanding pad construction helps with setup. "Sites have paved pads but most are not level. WiFi very spotty. Springs are nice," explains Sue G. about Salt Springs Recreation Area.
