GuideA “real Florida” campground originally built by the CCC. Sites are decent size with typical Florida flora between the sites for some privacy. 30 amp/water hookups on site. Roads are hard pack sand/gravel and not real smooth. A nice family campground for smaller size rigs. A playground accessible to most sites and classic bathhouse with showers is conveniently located. Lots of hiking trails. There’s an orange tree on my site!
GuideI liked this park it is large, lots to explore. We took our dog on her first camping trip and she was fantastic. I would like to go back without her though because I think I could hike better without her. There are a number of trails, but it rained for some of our stay so we getting get away from our camp too much. It was still lovely. I think a trip back is in order because we definitely didn’t experience all we would like to have experienced. We had our kayaks but since we had the dog we didn’t go. But I can see us returning for more adventures. We did walk over the suspension bridge, that was beautiful, a nice after the rain thing to do.
GuideThis 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.
GuideMy husband and I went here for a long weekend, it was a really nice park we saw a lot of deer. There is 4+ miles of the Florida State Trail that runs through this park that we hiked. The terrain changes multiple times giving you a nice change in scenery. There is a ravine there too. The staff was great, and the facilities were clean. You can buy patches there too if you like to collect patches (or stickers) from the State Parks. And if you have the Florida State Park passport they have a stamp. It’s a good sized park and kept us busy.
LegendThis 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!
LegendPulling into Boogerville Hideout right off US 17 feels less like arriving at a campground and more like rolling into a full-on Roadhouse movie sequel where you’d expect Jake Gyllehnhaal (nee Patrick Swayze) to be bouncing at the front door. Upon entry, you might hear the rumble of bikes, the glow of string lights and the pulse of a live music set the tone before you even park. Located just south of Green Cove Springs, this biker bar and restaurant has recently carved out roughly a dozen RV slots behind and surrounding the property, creating a unique overnight option that blends convenience with a high-energy, social atmosphere. The setting is open and informal, with gravel and packed dirt surfaces, easy pull-in access and a layout that wraps around the main bar, stage and outdoor beer garden patio area.
The RV sites themselves offer basic hookups, making it functional for a quick overnight, but amenities beyond that are minimal. There are no traditional bathhouses, no playgrounds and no campground-style comforts, just port-a-potties that are shared with patrons of the bar. The vibe here is unapologetically lively, especially on weekends when live bands, karaoke, and DJs turn the outdoor beer garden into something closer to a small festival than a campground. Navigation is simple enough, and setup is quick, but this is clearly not designed for quiet evenings, early bedtimes and families with small kids - trust me - would not want to ‘drop anchor’ here for sure.
Surrounding the property, you are positioned along US 17 with quick access into Green Cove Springs for supplies, where you will find grocery options like Dollar Tree and El Supremo, gas stations like BP and casual dining spots like The Pub @ Magnolia Point, Roger That Wings & Things. If you are looking to balance the energy of Boogerville with a bit of calm, nearby parks and the St. Johns River offer opportunities to reset during the day before returning to the action at night.
Insider’s tips? Here’s a handful: (1) Choose a site as far from the stage and US 17 as possible if you plan to turn in early, as music can run late on weekends; (2) Expect noise, this is part of the experience, not a drawback to be avoided; (3) Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper; (4) Plan to use your own onboard facilities if possible, as port-a-potties are shared and can get busy (and somewhat messy, particular closer to midnight on the weekends); (5) This is best treated as an overnight stop tied to enjoying the bar and music rather than a traditional campground stay; (6) If you are looking for any great grub in the vicinity, you’ve just hit the BBQ jackpot as less than a 20 minute drive from here, you’ll discover the legendary Woodpeckers Backyard BBQ that will be – without any contention – the greatest spot for smoked grub you will find IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA (yeah, I know, that's a big statement - so prove me wrong); and (7) If you’ve had 1 or 2 too many, you want to be incredibly careful and not try your luck up or down US 17 as this stretch of pavement is continuously patrolled by Florida’s finest, which is just yet another reason you should consider laying up for the night here @ Boogerville Hideout.
Happy Camping!
ScoutWe are in a travel spot. Lots of highway noise. Pretty area mostly owners only
TravelerRoads are rough, Bathrooms are clean, host seemed like a good guy. Here during off season but the beach looked like fun
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!

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.
